Velier Caroni High Proof Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR 1994 17yr 52%

RX664 Very good 6,434 bottles Above 250€
“A balanced, complex Caroni with fruity, tarry, and spicy notes.”

The High Proof Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR by Caroni and Velier, distilled in 1994 and aged for 17 years, embodies the quintessential heavy Caroni profile with a rich, complex nose of rubber, mango, varnish, tar, and raspberry. On the palate, flavors of mango, leather, burnt sugar, and a hint of spice blend seamlessly with the characteristic 'dirty' notes of tar and petrol, complemented by underlying sweetness and slight dryness from oak aging. This limited release of 6434 bottles is celebrated for its balance of intense flavors, tropical aging, and rounded finish. Ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate the robust, fruity, and intricate flavors of traditional Caroni rums.
