Introducing The Whisky Agency's 1997 Caroni 23-year-old Rum, a distinguished spirit from Trinidad and Tobago's renowned Caroni distillery. Bottled in 2020 after an extensive 23 years of maturation, this rum is a true testament to the unique characteristics of Caroni, yet it brings forward its distinct personality with a limited release of only 261 bottles. At 49.2% ABV, this 700ml treasure offers a refined exploration of woody and spicy notes, accompanied by the distillery’s signature hydrocarbons in a more subdued form. Upon nosing, one is greeted with herbal aromas interwoven with banana, light wood, rubber, tobacco, and a hint of polish. The palate unveils a journey through herbal notes, banana, nuts, and vanilla, all trailing behind wood and a touch of bitterness and saltiness. The finish is long, characterized by lingering wood, tar, and vanilla, leaving a lasting impression that is both robust and sophisticated.
