RUM NATION CARONI 22YO 1998 SHERRY FINISH 50CL 57.4%
€ 255,00 VAT includedRarer and older than ever, a masterful rum from the silent Caroni distillery in Trinidad. Powerfully tannic, oaky and wonderfully aromatic with its tarry notes and peppery intensity, it builds an austere powerhouse of medicinal herbs, coffee, liquorice and orange peel. In spite of this dark austerity, this release has an unusual juicy character too, thanks to the final 3 years of maturation in second fill Oloroso Sherry wood, which add an extra layer of winey complexity, richness and finesse.

RUM NATION PORT MOURANT 21YO 1999 SHERRY FINISH 50CL 58%
€ 245,00 VAT includedDistilled in a legendary 250-years-old double wooden pot still, renowned for its muscular style, this very limited release showcases the most intense and rich style of all Demerara rums. Very austere, with its tannic and dry intensity, it has a markedly aromatic palette rich of esters, black coffee, liquorice, gentian root and medicinal herbs. Underneath the dark and musty leathery character, though, flowery notes of lavender and fruity echoes of red cherries still shine, amplified by the final 5 years of maturation in a sherry cask.
