The Whisky Agency 1997 Caroni 16yo is a highly sought-after rum originating from the iconic Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2013, this limited edition release is one of only 223 bottles, boasting a potent ABV of 51.6%. This rum is revered for its complex and multifaceted flavor profile, characterized by an intriguing blend of tropical fruits, earthy tar, and subtle spice notes. The aroma unfolds with dense paint-like notes complemented by dried and tropical fruits, evolving into a fruity bouquet with mango, ripe apple, and oily tobacco tones. On the palate, it delivers a dry, light, and tart nutty-woody taste that transitions into a long, dry aftertaste, punctuated by delicate paint nuances. Despite a slightly disjointed balance and a brief finish, the empty glass manages to revive the essence of this unique Caroni creation.
