The palate reveals an exquisite explosion of vanilla, oak, dark chocolate, and roasted flavors, harmoniously balanced by nuances of orange and a delicate mineral touch. The Light Trinidad Rum delivers an elegant, medium-long finish, leaving your palate with a lingering embrace of chocolate, vanilla, and alluring orange zest. While some might find the alcohol notes dominant, its overall composition remains impressively smooth and complex, making it both a collector's item and a connoisseur's delight.
This rum is unique due to its high ABV of 64.2%, limited edition release with only 680 bottles, and a distinctive blend of Demerara and Caroni styles, offering a complex and multifaceted flavor profile.
While it maintains the quality expected of Caroni rums, it lacks the traditional heavy Caroni notes of tar and rubber, making it lighter and more approachable than some other Caroni expressions.
Given its limited edition and high ABV, it appeals to both collectors and connoisseurs, though casual drinkers might find its complexity and strength challenging.
