Drink history with your best cigar
This
is the oldest stock we have ever shipped from Trinidad.
Distilled on the Caroni column still it is an example of
their heavy style of rum that has been matured in the Caribbean for
all its life prior to being shipped to the U.K. for bottling.
The
heat of warehousing in the Caribbean leads to high evaporation and
intense extract from the wood requiring careful cask management over
the many years of maturation.
Thirty-four years is an exceptionally long time for stock to
be kept and we are offering here what we believe to be one of the
oldest rums available from the region.
Dark
in colour, hints of old gold and a green tinged rim, these, hues
extracted from the wood.
On the nose deep soft fruit including baked apple and bananas
combine into a wonderful sweetness.
This leads to a palate of such complexity and flavour that
dives deep into the heart of a fully matured spirit showing style
and length.
Concentration of flavour, heavy hints of well matured oak, a
length of palate supported by sweet fruit and a touch of tar give
something very special to enjoy.
Drink deep for this is history and when these bottles have
been enjoyed there will be no more.
Serve
with a splash of water, drink quietly!
