Rhum, Trinidad &Tobago

Bottled under the prestigious Silver Seal label by Massimo Righi, the owner of the small Italian trading company Whisky Antique, founded in 2000, this version remarkably embodies the Caroni style. Constantly infused with the hydrocarbon aromas and flavours that have made this iconic rum famous, its aromatic and flavours profile ultimately reaches a balance that is both exotic, spicy, and floral. Becoming increasingly indulgent, the retro-olfaction offers us the opportunity to savour a delicious pistachio crème brûlée.

Nose : Rich, deep. A mix of wholegrain mustard, creosote, diesel, heated asphalt, embers, iodine tincture, balm, incense… The aromatic profile is also oily (olive, walnut), floral (wild geranium), and spicy (Cayenne pepper).

Appearance : Old gold backed.

Palate : Crisp, lively. With a very strong personality, the flavours profile is both exotic (mango, guava), terpene-rich (lava), nobly spiced (cardamom), mineral (basalt), and heady (iris concrete). Then, like an ointment, essential oils (thyme, rosemary, savoury) gradually envelop the palate.

Overall : Long, silky. With a particularly voluptuous texture reminiscent of taffeta, the tasting experience builds in intensity towards even more tarry, asphalt-like, and heady notes (lavender, lilac). Over time, warm cane sugar pours onto the palate.
