“Exceptional blend of Caroni and Foursquare, nicely balanced, delightful experience.”

The "Exception" rum from Trinidad's T.D.L distillery, selected by Famille Ricci, offers a unique blend reminiscent of Caroni and Foursquare. Distilled in 1991 and aged for 31 years, this cask strength rum (64.5% ABV) boasts an intense aroma of candied nuts, spices, and tar. On tasting, it reveals a dry, woody profile with hints of dried fruit and spice, balanced perfectly with a touch of tar.

“Über die Nähe zwischen TDL und Caroni wurde ja durch Steffens Buch schon detailliert berichtet. Aromatisch finde ich auch hier HTR-typische Noten vor und halte deshalb einen Blend aus TDL und Caroni für wahrscheinlich. Gefällt mir sehr gut, angesichts der Rahmendaten (Alterung, Geschmacksprofil) durchaus ein PLV-Tipp für mich - heute kosten weitaus weniger ausgewogene offizielle Caroni-Releases schon deutlich mehr. Im Direktvergleich zu anderen Caronis der gehobenen Kategorie natürlich etwas im Hintertreffen, aber für die zweite Reihe ein sehr ansprechendes Release.”

“This is not a cheap rum but we'll worth the present price tag. A nicely balanced rum with a light dry touch to the palate. I may have to add a bottle to my collection. A very old lady indeed and a good one.”

“Interesting "mixture" of Caroni and Foursquare. Nose very good. Palate can't quite keep up. A great experience.”
