The CARONI HTR 1998 22 YEARS OLD 63.9% ROM DANSK FUNKLUB - SECOND EDITION is a remarkable representation of the historic Caroni distillery, renowned for its intense and complex rums. This expression was distilled in 1998 and lovingly aged for 22 years before being bottled in April 2020. With an impressive strength of 63.9%, this rum exemplifies the bold character and full-bodied nature that Caroni is famous for.
Originating from Trinidad & Tobago, Caroni rums are celebrated worldwide for their unique depth and robust flavors. The distillery closed in 2002, making any Caroni bottlings highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This particular edition has undergone continental aging, meaning it was matured in a climate-controlled environment rather than in its tropical homeland. Such aging techniques ensure a more controlled development of flavors, often resulting in a more balanced and refined final product.
Produced using a column still method and using molasses as the base, the character of this rum is heavily influenced by its distillation process. Column stills are known for creating lighter and more refined spirits compared to pot stills, yet Caroni's methods and aging processes impart a rich, intense profile to what might otherwise be a lighter rum.
Presented in a 70 cl bottle and with an incredibly limited release of only 100 bottles, this edition is truly exclusive. The second edition produced by Rom Dansk Funklub is a testament to their dedication in offering only the highest quality and most unique spirits to their patrons. Rom Dansk Funklub is known for their meticulously curated selections, ensuring that each bottle provides a distinctive and memorable experience. As a result, bottles such as this one not only serve as exemplary representations of the Caroni legacy but also as prized possessions for any serious rum aficionado.
