Caroni 1997 21 Year Old Rum, Berry Bro's Exceptional Casks, Cask #181

This Caroni is named Exceptional from Berry Bro's, but why is it Exceptional?
Caroni distillery was established in 1923, on the site of the old Caroni sugar factory. Though closed in 2001, Caroni famously provided a heavy rum, which was, and still is, internationally recognised; receiving copious appraisal from the British Navy. This Caribbean classic is frequently sought after.

Tasting Notes
This deep golden rum brims with sweet, rich fruity aromas countered by zesty lemon and lime, some treacle toffee and cloves.
The wonderfully succulent honeyed palate delivers continuous waves of rich dark toffee flavours edged with some smokiness and green banana.
A little oak shines through to offer some balancing tannin.

Caroni distillery closed a few years ago so enjoy this exotic rarity while you still can.
