CARONI 1996 Trinidad Paradise #9

$4,080.00

The acquisition of the last barrels of 100% Trinidad Caroni by the Italian company Velier and La Maison du Whisky has led to the creation of rare and prestigious bottlings of this mythical rum. Notable among these is the Employees range, which honored the women and men who worked at the distillery, and of course, this Paradise collection.

Aged until 2019 in Trinidad and Tobago, this version, named Man Descending Stairs Carrying Wings (to Become a Blue Devil), then continued its maturation in demijohns in the Cognac region.

With a striking difference between the nose and palate, its aromatic and flavor profile uses this dichotomy to better highlight all its complexity and richness.

In this game of heads or tails, there is always a winner—the taster—since they are tasting not one but two Caronis.

Description

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Orange copper.

Nose : Refined, elegant. Initially, the aromatic palette is remarkably balanced, featuring notes of apricot, medicinal (arnica), candied (pear, mirabelle), and mineral (slate, lava). With aeration, this pleasant sensation of fullness continues with scents of iris concrete, licorice, chocolate, and heather honey.

Palate : Both smooth and dynamic. More empyreumatic (smoke, petroleum), the flavor profile enthusiastically and faithfully reflects the essence of the aromatic palette. Over time, it gains creaminess (cane sugar). Then, increasingly tertiary (mushroom, creosote, dried leaf), it takes on beautiful autumnal hues.

Finish : Long, silky. Intensely spiced (star anise, cinnamon, clove), with licorice and animal notes (bacon), the tasting builds in strength towards nobly herbal (Havana), empyreumatic (petroleum), and powdery (ginger) registers. Evoking a cabinetmaker’s workshop, the retro-olfaction reveals hints of suspended dust and precious wood notes (rosewood).
