Title:
Rum Nation Caroni 1998
Description:
The Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago was established in 1918, and was operated at near full capacity until 1993. Unfortunately, due to industry consolidation, rum production at the facility began to decline in the late 20th century and the distillery was closed in 2002. Some of the rum barrels from the Caroni distillery are still finding their way to the market.
The Rum Nation Caroni 1998 is one such offering from the folks at Rum Nation. This is an old-style heavy column still rum which was distiller in 1998 and aged for 9 years in American Oak casks on the island of Trinidad. From the tropical locale, the rum was transported to Europe for further aging in refill American Oak (bourbon) casks which had also previously been used to age Rum Peruno (8YO). The resulting rum was bottled at cask strength (55% ABV).
