    How does this rum taste?

    • Excellent alcohol integration
    • Complex flavor profile
    • Distinctive Caroni character

    Bellamy’s Reserve, distilled at the Caroni distillery in Trinidad and bottled by Perola, is a 23-year-old rum known for its powerful 64% ABV cask strength. Distinctive aromas of tropical fruits, rubber, and vanilla create an intriguing sensory experience. On the palate, rubber is dominant with accompaniments of tropical fruits, tar, and woody nuances. This limited release of 248 bottles has been recognized for its lovely integration of flavors and alcohol. Despite high complexity, some find its robust characteristics polarizing. Caroni enthusiasts appreciate its balance of dirty and fruity notes, making it an excellent choice for those exploring the Caroni profile. Bellamy's is a prime example of how aged rum can capture both power and finesse.

    "Comparably lighter and more approachable profile. More heavy on roasted and fruity notes. Maintains a little more dirt compared to other early 1998 Caronis, however. Nice complexity and evolution on the palate keeps it interesting."

    "A very nice and well balanced release. Draws really nice curtains i the glass and has the traditional Caroni flavours. The empty glass is really wonderful and full of flavours."

    "Wonderfully relaxed Caroni. Just the thing for a summer in front of the balcony. 😊For me in the same pleasant, still affordable league as the Caroni of C. Dully from Switzerland (RX11715).Update 2022-12-09:Nah, is still a bit better than the C. Dully, because simply more power for the aroma transport to my nose and palate. At least as good as the Ultimatum, but even slightly more appealing because of the expressive power and therefore also upgraded from 88 to 90 points.Worthy rum for today's Caroni Day. 👍👍"
