- Description
- Caroni 1996 Paradise #9 is a single cask rum from the now-closed Trinidad and Tobago state distillery, bottled at cask strength (68.9% ABV) after tropical maturation and transfer to Cognac demijohns. The profile carries rich dried fruit, tar, and dark molasses notes characteristic of Caroni's heavy esters and long tropical aging. The texture is viscous and warming, with a persistent maritime finish. Best savored neat or with a single ice cube to appreciate the complexity of this rare vintage.
