An independent single cask release from lost distillery, Caroni. Distilled in 1997 and matured in single cask #181 for 21 years, only 231 bottles have been filled from cask by Scotch whisky bottlers, Berry Bros & Rudd. The distillery was established in 1918 but sadly closed in 2002, making any release from this Trinidadian distillery extremely rare.
Tasting Notes
Caroni Cask 181 | Exceptional Casks - Producer Notes
This deep golden rum brims with sweet, rich fruity aromas countered by zesty lemon and lime, some treacle toffee and cloves. The wonderfully succulent honeyed palate delivers continuous waves of rich dark toffee flavours edged with some smokiness and green banana. A little oak shines through to offer some balancing tannin. Caroni distillery closed a few years ago so enjoy this exotic rarity while you still can.
