Rum Caroni VSOC 10 YO

Following the closure of the distillery experts and enthusiasts had the opportunity to visit the old warehouse containing hundreds of barrels of rum, some dating back to 1974, used to cut the youngest rum. The Bristol bought some barrels at the time of different vintages and then bottled, offering the chance to discover an incredible rum, a great piece of history of a country. Rum from light and golden color. The nose prevails a feeling of brown sugar and spices. In the mouth alcoholic note is soft thanks to the long period of aging, the taste is full and spicy with a long finish that invites another sip. The cantinaLo purpose of Bristol Classic Rum is the search for small quantities of fine rums, sometimes only individual barrels of a single distillery or a seal.

Bristol Spirits have shipped a number of casks of ’Old Cask’ from Caroni back in 2008, which were already 10 years old and reduced to 40% vol. for bottling in 2004 but never bottled. They have used some of these for various blends and decided to use the last for this bottling. The strength had fallen below 40% so Bristol blended in some 1993 to raise the strenght and to give the blend some more body.

A classic Caroni rum with a dry character and a complex nose with wood, fruit and spice. This shows on the palate with good length and style. You will feel notes of dried fruits like banana, blackcurrant, apples and toasted hazelnut, tobacco, coffee and fresh leather
