The Velier Caroni 1996 Trilogy Heavy Rum Trinidad Stock 60th Anniversary is a limited edition 20-year-old rum, with only 200 bottles available, distilled at the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. This molasses-based rum, bottled by the prestigious independent bottler Velier, boasts a formidable ABV of 70.28%. Filled into a single cask (R3711), this exceptional rum was aged for two decades in Trinidad, resulting in a highly concentrated and intensely aromatic spirit. After an hour of breathing, the rum unveils a captivating aroma, blending tobacco, menthol, orange peel, fruitcake, and a hint of coconut. The palate is greeted by a rich and heavy flavor profile, featuring an unctuous oiliness, bicycle tube notes, citrus undertones, and a touch of cocoa. This unique rum was distilled six years before the Caroni distillery closed and offers a remarkable tasting experience, with notes of fiery spices and dried fruits. The cask yielded only a small portion after 20 years, resulting in a highly sought-after and precious spirit. This limited edition rum is a tribute to La Maison du Whisky's 60th anniversary, and it delivers an intense and extreme flavor profile, bursting with pronounced flavors. Sample this extraordinary rum, and indulge in the rare opportunity to savor the complex and alluring world of Caroni rums.
