A heavy mark Caroni from the High Spirits Collection, distilled 1998 and aged 18 years in ex-bourbon oak at 46%, column distilled in the industrial Trinidad style of the closed distillery.
Description
Caroni, the closed Trinidad distillery that ceased production around 2003, is the most mythologised name in rum, and its heavy HTR marks are the ones collectors prize. This bottling comes from the Italian-associated High Spirits Collection, distilled in 1998 and aged 18 years in ex-bourbon oak, presented at a sociable 46%. Heavy Caroni typically delivers tar, burnt rubber, diesel and machine oil over dark dried tropical fruit, smoke, liquorice and deep oak, oily and dense, the archetypal industrial Trinidad rum. At 46% the proof keeps it approachable while the heavy mark holds the savoury, petroleum intensity in place. A finite pour from a source that closed for good more than two decades ago.
