    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex and balanced profile
    • Rich vanilla and oak notes
    • Highly collectible

    The Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR, crafted at Trinidad’s Caroni distillery, is a rare 21-year-old expression bottled by Velier. Distilled in 1996 from molasses, it offers a potent ABV of 64.3%. Available in only 119 bottles, this cask strength rum is revered for its complex vanilla, oak, and spice notes. Users appreciate its balanced aroma of vanilla, leather, and caramel, with minty freshness. While some find the taste uniquely bitter-sweet, it maintains a harmonious complexity. Loved for its depth and profound woodiness, the 1996 Caroni is a collector's gem, symbolizing the distillery’s legacy.

    "Very special Caroni with vegetal and floral notes. Very good nose, a little too special on the palate for my taste."
