CoR Caroni Trinidad No. 4 1998 24yr 62,9%

RX14115 Very good Column Still Rum Single Cask 250 bottles 250€+
“Intense, spicy Caroni with tar and oak notes.”

Trinidad No. 4 is a rare Caroni rum, distilled in 1998 and aged for 24 years, offering a complex profile. Selected by The Colours of Rum, it's notable for its intense aromas of rubber, tar, and burnt sugar, with oak and tar dominating the palate. Bottled at cask strength with a 62.9% ABV, this limited edition rum exhibits a balanced integration of alcohol and wood. Fresh, spicy, and slightly oily, it provides a long finish with a hint of medicinal notes. While praised for its typical Caroni hues, some suggest it lacks the sweetness and fruit of other Caroni expressions. This premium rum, with only 250 bottles available, is exclusively featured on RumX, where taste enthusiasts can find a curated marketplace environment.

“Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a single cask bottling from the legendary Caroni distillery that closed down in 2003. It’s a column still rum distilled in 1998 whereafter it’s tropical aged for 11 years in an ex-bourbon barrel and then continentally aged for an additional 12 years in an ex-whisky barrel before bottled in 2022 in just 250 bottles with a cask strength of 62,9%. Overall a very intense, complex and round rum.”

“Tasting at J. B. Labat. A rather light, machine-shop nose with quite a lot of fruit. A touch of butter too. The palate is lively, but like the nose, rather balanced between machine shop notes and fruit. The finish is long and delicious. A rum with few asperities, but rather a sense of balance.”

“Needs real time in the glass. In the nose first sweet after burnt sugar, oak, dried fruit, leather, rubber and asphalt (tar). A little more fruit on the palate, not at all as dirty as some other Caroni... Leather, rubber and dark chocolate. Alcohol well integrated. Some bitterness on the finish but within limits.”
