The Velier Caroni 2000 High Proof Trinidad rum is a unique, limited edition bottling that epitomizes the bold and distinctive character of the Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 2000 using Caroni's renowned column stills and aged for 17 years, this rum is a testament to craftsmanship and patience. Bottled at an assertive 55% ABV, only 2,700 bottles of this exceptional rum exist, making it a highly coveted item among rum aficionados. Produced by the esteemed Velier brand, this Caroni release is infused with the brand's commitment to quality and tradition. On the nose, the Velier Caroni 2000 High Proof Trinidad reveals an intense and complex bouquet, featuring dominant notes of tar, roasted tobacco, and spicy undertones, complemented by hints of dried apricot and ripe papaya. The palate follows with an equally intense experience, presenting a delightful balance of sweet, oily textures, butterscotch, and the characteristic Caroni rubber elements. The finish is both dry and savory, laden with woody, tarry flavors, and accentuated by a subtle menthol touch. This rum offers a multidimensional tasting journey with layers of complexity that unfold with each sip. Its oily and dry profile, combined with unique herbal and vegetal notes, make it a treasured addition to any rum collection. While some may find it lacking the intense oiliness typical of Caroni releases, its distinct flavors and intricate composition offer a memorable sensory experience.
