Rum
The Caroni distillery, established c.1918, was born of Trinidad’s unique industrial and agricultural heritage. Like many now-silent distilleries, its reputation has only grown since its untimely closure in 2003, adding to the enduring allure and mystique of the rums it produced.
Against a backdrop of a declining sugar industry, Caroni was part-nationalised and restructured before the closure of the sugar refinery in 2002, followed swiftly by the distillery itself in 2003. Since then, the site has stood silent, gradually yielding to vines and the tropical heat, while the few surviving casks have become highly sought-after treasures, each carrying the unmistakable weight of Trinidad’s rum-making legacy.
The Last Drop has been fortunate to acquire two such casks, distilled in 1997 and 1999. So perfectly complementary were they that they have been carefully married to create a truly exceptional rum — balancing the heavier, oily characteristics synonymous with Caroni, with more delicate floral nuances, reflecting the full breadth of distilling expertise developed over the distillery’s lifetime.
“Release 41 is a well-balanced spirit, showcasing both the delicate and heavier characteristics typical of rums from the Caroni distillery.”
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE: Deep bronze-gold.
PALATE: Sweet papaya, stewed hibiscus flower and spiced ginger cake lead the way, evolving into deeper notes of hot rubber, green banana leaf and dry white pepper, with a delicate wisp of smoke lingering on the finish.
NOSE: The nose opens with the unmistakable Caroni punch — powerful yet refined — softened by notes of white flowers and eucalyptus, and rounded by layers of juicy tropical fruit.
