Description
This 1998 Caroni rum from Trinidad & Tobago was selected to honour Balas Bhaggan's 14 years of service at the now-closed distillery, bottled at 68.4% ABV from just six casks. Despite Caroni's reputation for intensity, this release presents a lighter expression that still showcases the distillery's signature tropical fruit and floral complexity. The marriage of casks creates depth without overwhelming the palate, offering a more approachable entry point to Caroni's character. Best enjoyed neat or with minimal water to preserve the delicate balance of fruit and florals.
