Velier Caroni 1983 Heavy Trinidad 22 years old is a unique rum bottling from the Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Crafted to perfection and bottled in 2005, this rum is the epitome of Caroni's legendary profile, offering a rich and multifaceted tasting experience. With an ABV of 52%, this 700ml treasure is one of the 20,986 bottles that encapsulate the heritage and craftsmanship of Caroni, under the meticulous eye of Velier. The aroma of this rum is a complex blend of tar, vanilla, oak, and rubber, enhanced by buttery undertones. On the palate, it reveals a tapestry of flavors, such as toasted oak, licorice, caramel, leather, iodine, raisin, and cocoa, all interwoven with the quintessential notes of tar and rubber. The finish is relatively long and leaves a lasting impression with rubber, vanilla, pear, toffee, and tar notes. While some reviews suggest the nose and palate are lighter compared to other Caroni expressions, with hints of pear and butter, this rum still showcases the mechanical and depth traits Caroni enthusiasts have come to appreciate. The finish, although slightly short for some, is complex with notes of sugar, pepper, and oak, giving way to a whisper of vanilla. This rum may not deliver the heavy punch typical of Caroni rums, but it remains a delightful exploration for rum aficionados searching for diversity within Caroni's storied legacy.
