Samaroli Carnival Blended Rum 2023

Samaroli is the historic Italian bottler known for elegant, balanced single casks at deliberately reduced proof. This Carnival Blended Rum, released in 2023, is a Trinidad column-still blend without an age statement, bottled at 50% and built more for character than for polish.

The light Trinidad base carries a distinctly minty, herbal edge, with mint and dried fruit on the nose giving way to a drier palate of young wood, vanilla and leather alongside tropical fruit. The finish stays herbal and spiced with a touch of barrel. It is a slightly quirky, aromatic profile that leans into the fragrant side of Trinidad rather than smoothing everything down, the youthful wood lending freshness and grip. For drinkers who enjoy drier, aromatic Trinidad rum with a green, minty signature and do not mind a bit of edge, this is an honest and individual sipper.
