Caroni 21yo

A limited release from one of the last vintages of the now closed Caroni distillery. As extreme as a rum can be, with a tannic and concentrated character due to ten years of tropical maturation in Trinidad before the casks were brought to Europe for the further refinement: oak, black dark roasted coffee, liquorice, and the typical musty note of clay. On top of that dark character, a flowery note of sandalwood and lavender lingers delicately before pepper and tannic dryness win again.
