This rum underwent continental aging, a method that typically involves aging in cooler climates outside of the Caribbean. This process can lead to a slower, more controlled maturation, allowing for a nuanced and well-balanced flavor profile. The use of a column still in production ensures a cleaner and more refined spirit, highlighting the distillery's expertise and dedication to quality. Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate the rich history and craftsmanship embodied in every sip of this remarkable KILL DEVIL TRINIDAD (CARONI) 1998 17 YEARS OLD.
