- Description
- Caroni's 1996 cask #5627, bottled at natural cask strength (60.8% ABV) as part of the Paradise series, represents the closed Trinidad distillery's most industrial character—tarry, smoky, and intensely molasses-forward. Nearly three decades of maturation have created unexpected depth within these bold, almost austere flavors, with smoke and dark sweetness in perfect proportion. This is for experienced rum collectors seeking the uncompromising character that made Caroni legendary.
