CDI Caroni Trinidad 1998 22yr 57,5%
The Trinidad 1998 Rum, crafted at the Caroni distillery and bottled by Compagnie des Indes, reveals the striking character of a 22-year-old aged classic. Distilled from molasses and released at cask strength with a robust 57.5% ABV, this limited edition is marked by intense smoky, tarry, and rubbery notes with hints of dried apricot and iodine on the nose. With only 287 bottles available, its tasting profile includes dominant tar and candied flavors offset by a woody smokiness. While some fans appreciate its complex offering, others find its whisky-like peatiness atypical for a Caroni. The finish has been described as medium, with a varying reception depending on preference for its peaty undertones.

“Not a good Caroni. Too much peaty mess. Price unacceptable for the quality. Much more pleasing in the second tasting.”

“The nose is a little like the Caroni 1996 Overseas RX1578, with an agricultural edge. But there's spice here, green and pink pepper, mild curry and considerably more vivacity. The yellow fruit hints at machine shop if you look hard enough. The palate is expressive, full of aromas, with a clean but rather light atelier. Then fruit, pear and unripe pineapple arrive with a hint of acidity. This fine attack is diluted fairly quickly, and the finish lingers on empyreumatic notes of machine oil and tar. The finish is average for a Caroni and the aromas are a little weak. The other aromas are beautiful and complex, especially in the empty glass. I'm discovering a fine rum with everything it takes to please, but it's a far cry from the best Caronis.”

“A pretty good Caroni but the price does not match the quality. I know the Caroni barrels are running out, but still the price is too high in my mind. Typical Caroni with added wood and smoke and a medium finish.”
