Swell de Spirits Caroni Private Garden N°15 (InterCaves Limoges) HTR 1998 25yr 59,2%
Private Garden N°15 (InterCaves Limoges) HTR is a limited Trinidadian rum from the Caroni distillery, distilled in 1998 and aged for 25 years. Bottled at cask strength with a 59.2% ABV, this rum is noted for its complex, smoky profile. On the nose, it features intense notes of dirty, roasted, and caramelized aromas, with hints of citrus and smoke. The palate is characterized by robust, smoky, roasted flavors with a dirty, woody, and allspice backdrop. Users appreciate its balanced character, pleasant fruitiness, and the signature Caroni dirtiness. Although praised for its uniqueness and depth, some find it lacking complexity and potentially high in price for daily consumption.

“RumX and Swell de Spirit online tasting, March 2024. Tasted blind, I was surprised by a vegetal, bubble-gum side that reminded me of Savanna. But the depth of aroma and the dirty side belonged elsewhere. Dom found and everything fell into place (everything is much easier when you know ;-) a Caroni from December 1998. The palate is powerful, with aromas of mechanical workshops and burnt caramel. But a myriad of aromas lurk behind, with freshness, fruit, umami and even a floral edge. The extremely long finish is well-balanced, with all the aromas present on the palate and a hint of smoky wood.”

“A 1998 Caroni from the December batch with some hints of post-2000 TDLs. Surprising fruitiness paired with the powerful aroma of the Caronis from '98, qualitatively in the upper class of the vintage, including the tropically aged '98 Caronis. A very good release.”

“Swell Masterclass RumX 28.03.2024 Was für ein Überraschungs Sample von Mika. Wollte diesen schon immer mal probieren. Dieser liegt eher auf der fruchtigen Seite, aber die "dreckigen" Marker sind trotzdem gut zu schmecken. Auch so kann ein HTR schmecken.”
