Description
The Last Drop 25 Year Caroni Trinidad Rum (700mL) — Release No. 41 | Ultra-Rare 25-Year Rum from Trinidad's Legendary Ghost Distillery
Experience an irreplaceable piece of Caribbean rum history with The Last Drop 25 Year Caroni Trinidad Rum, Release No. 41 from The Last Drop Distillers. Drawn from surviving stocks of Trinidad's legendary Caroni Distillery, this extraordinary 25-year-old rum represents one of just 261 bottles produced worldwide, making it an exceptionally rare opportunity to experience spirit from a distillery that disappeared more than two decades ago.
The release was created from two precious ex-bourbon casks—one distilled in 1997 and the other in 1999. After decades of maturation in Trinidad's demanding tropical climate, The Last Drop determined that the two casks complemented one another beautifully and carefully married them together. The resulting rum combines the powerful, oily and intensely characterful personality for which Caroni became famous with vibrant tropical fruit and surprisingly elegant floral notes.
Bottled at an extraordinary 65.2% ABV (130.4 Proof), this is Caroni presented with remarkable concentration and intensity. Roasted nuts, spiced oak, pineapple and vanilla lead into papaya, hibiscus, ginger cake, green banana leaf and white pepper, while delicate orange blossom and jasmine provide an unexpected counterpoint to Caroni's famously muscular personality.
