How does this rum taste?
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.

This is probably one of the best from Caroni. A very elegant and well balanced rum.
Partager un rhum comme cela est toujours un sacré moment. 1er SC Velier caroni et je ne suis pas déçu, hormis du fait que je n’aurais jamais cette bouteille.
It's intense! Very complex, hard to pin down and delicious! A woody and fruity depth. Powerful and round . It's really excellent 🔥The rubber is still slightly present the next day when you wake up.
