S.B.S Trinidad, Single Barrel Selection 1993 Caroni The Beast #2, 49,6%

A controverse gem from the now-closed Caroni distillery. The almost black color gives a good indication on the barrels influence on this rum. It’s no coincident this rum is called “The Beast”.

S.B.S Trinidad 1993 derives from a single barrel yielding 239 bottles. The rum was distilled in a column still at the now closed Caroni distillery in 1993. This rum is nicknamed ”the beast” for a reason. Despite the relatively high alcohol percentage this rum is challenging the taste buds in every way. The tropical aging until 2008 left a clear mark on this rum. As this rum is non-chill fltered the almost black color gives a good indication on the barrels influence on this rum.

Nose: Strong aromas of wood paint and solvent with a clear influence of long maturation in an oak barrrel.

Palate: Intense flavors of leather and roasted coffee. Dry fnish with bitter and burnt elements.
