✦ Neatly Summary

Trinidad Caroni 1998 / Bot.2022 / Bristol Classic Rums is a from Caroni (United Kingdom), bottled at 40% ABV. Expect vibrant and fruity, oaky and sweet character — tobacco, cooked vegetable, dried fruit, oily. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Caroni ceased production in 2002, making this 1998 vintage a window into Trinidad's most celebrated rum distillery before closure. Bottled in 2022 by Bristol Classic Rums after maturation in both Trinidad and the UK, it carries Caroni's signature heavy, funky character alongside notes of wood spices, diesel, dried fruit, and treacle toffee. The palate is warm and spiced, with toasted oak and dry oak tannins framing a lingering finish. A rare opportunity to taste one of rum's most iconic — and now extinct — distilleries.
