“Rich, fruity, and balanced with smoky undertones.”

The Heavy Trinidad Rum, distilled at the Caroni distillery in 1998 and aged for 23 years, offers a unique profile. Bottled by C. Dully Selection at cask strength, it presents tropical fruit and rubber aromas with notes of vanilla and oak. On the palate, hints of tar, leather, and tobacco create a complex character. While some users find it less traditional for a Caroni, its balance and easy sipping quality make it appealing. Limited to 280 bottles, this rum provides an intriguing blend of sweet, earthy, and smokey elements, combining sophisticated depth with a smooth finish.

“Un échantillon récupéré au Lucerne Rum Festival. Un nez vif avec des fruits, beaucoup de fruits tropicaux, du vieux bois verni et de l’atelier mécanique en arrière plan. La bouche est délicate avec un parfum floral jamais dégusté chez Caroni. Les fruits arrivent avec du melon et ensuite de tes agréables notes pâtissières. Beaucoup d’amplitude. La finale est fraîche et florale, fruitée et gourmande. Un très beau rhum qui m’emmène sur un marché dans un pays tropical avec toutes sortes d’échoppes vendant des fruits, des fleurs et quelques ateliers de réparation mécanique.”

“I find it very good. Sweet. Not dirty, rather round. Definitely red fruit on the non-biting nose. Blackberry!!! 😋 In the emptied glass I smell shoe polish. On the palate just a pleasing, not very typical Caroni that doesn't want to hurt. Recommendation!Update 19.06.2022:Can't keep up in direct comparison with the Velier Caroni Employees 6th of course, simply paler, therefore 3 points devaluation to still a very good 87 points.Update 09.07.2022:Last drops from the bottle. Detect a fine earthy, rooty note on the finish. 😋 It would be unfair not to upgrade - so finalmente 88 points! 👏”

“Nose is more on the fruity side. Some dirt is present but does not dominate at all. Quite balanced in the palate with sweet(er) and roasted notes alongside a little dirt.”
