- Description
- Caroni's 1997 vintage, aged 25 years and bottled at 60.4% by Silver Seal and East Asia Whisky Company for their Manta Ray Genesis Series, captures the now-defunct Trinidad distillery's legendary oily and robust character. Petrol, caramelised mango, cinnamon, and honeycomb aromas announce a spirit of considerable age and intensity. This is a collector's bottling that demands respect and patience, suited to those who appreciate Caroni's singular, mineral-driven identity.
