RUM CARONI 25 YEARS 1998 SPONGE DD 61.3° 70 CL
Description
Aged for approximately fifteen years in Trinidad and Tobago, this Caroni "Heavy Trinidad," selected by Angus MacRaild, the founder of Decadent Drinks, continued its maturation in the United Kingdom until bottling. Saturated with the famous hydrocarbon notes that have made this legendary rum famous, its aromatic and flavor profile is interspersed with delightful fruity, chocolatey, spicy, and floral sequences that create veritable islands of freshness.
Tasting notes
Nose : Ample, rich. Remarkably fresh with fruity notes (orange, apricot, mango), the nose reveals empyreumatic aromas (fuel oil, petroleum, banana). With aeration, vanilla and chocolate scents emerge, enriching an increasingly medicinal (balm, mustard), spicy, and vegetal (tobacco) aromatic profile.
Appearance : Orangey copper.
Palate : Lively, taut. Echoing the vegetal character of the nose, the attack on the palate evolves towards a more lactic register (agave). Medicinal and empyreumatic, the mid-palate is representative of the Caroni style (hydrocarbons). Magnificent.
Finish : Long, determined. Mineral, even volcanic, the beginning of the finish is tarry and ashy (burning Havana cigar). On the back of the palate, heady aromas of vetiver, flowering geranium, and marigold permeate the taste buds.
