Absolutely remarkable, this 20-year-old version has reached the pinnacle of its evolution. Radiant in well-being, unity of tone, and depth, its aromatic and gustatory palette is abundantly fruity, divinely floral, and deliciously chocolatey. A truly delicious and surprising Trinidad rum, the nose is typical of TDLs, with blackcurrant and menthol, but also tropical and candied fruits, spices, slightly empyreumatic flavors reminiscent of Caroni, tobacco, and notes of camphor, making for a very rich and pleasant olfactory profile. On the palate, the attack is intense and highly aromatic, carried by those notes of hydrocarbons, rubber, and tar so dear to Caroni, but also by the abundance of tropical fruits, sweet spices, and the scent of eucalyptus and menthol that perfume the palate to give a complex, terribly effective, and delicious blend. The alcohol is also very well integrated, with a long finish of smoky flavors, menthol, tropical fruit, licorice, and delicate woodiness. This rum offers a complex and multifaceted experience, blending tropical fruit notes with earthy and spicy elements, culminating in a memorable and lingering finish. A real taste delight, produced by the distinguished Trinidad Distillers Limited and bottled by the illustrious Velier brand to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of La Maison du Whisky.
