Precious Liquors & The Auld Alliance Caroni Trinidad Rum 1998 23yr 57,1%

RX11892 Very good Single Cask 255 bottles Above 250€

This Trinidad Rum by Precious Liquors & The Auld Alliance, distilled at the Caroni distillery in 1998 and aged for 23 years, captures a complex, balanced flavor profile. Users laud its aromatic mix of chocolate, intense tar, dried fruit, and Demerara sugar on the nose. On the palate, notes of rubber, vanilla, wood, and red fruits come together harmoniously with a powerful Caroni character. Its high ABV of 57.1% is well-incorporated, although a minor sharpness is noted. This limited release, with only 255 bottles available, offers a rich and diverse experience that Caroni enthusiasts will appreciate. Despite minor critiques, it stands out as a distinctive, high-quality vintage rum.

“Ein sehr kräftiger und komplexer Caroni, der sowohl fruchtige, als auch caroni-typische Aromen in die Nase und an den Gaumen bringt. Die Reifung ist auf dem Zenit. Der einzige minimale Kritikpunkt ist vielleicht die nicht perfekte, aber auch nicht wirklich schlechte Alkoholeinbindung. Die gab es bei anderen Abfüllungen schon etwas eleganter. Aber das ist Jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau.”

“Beautiful 1998 with a typical vintage profile, aromatically diverse. In addition to the intense barrel, spice and HTR notes, this release also has a pleasant sweetness. The rum's only fault is the somewhat pungent note on the palate, which points to less than perfect alcohol integration. Overall, however, on a high level and a really good 1998 Caroni.”
