Jack Tar Caroni 1998 Calypso 20yo Full Proof Heavy Trinidad 63.8% 700ml information

Jack Tar Caroni 1998 Calypso is a 20-year-old rum that hails from the iconic Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2019, this full-proof rum boasts an impressive ABV of 63.8%, making it a powerful and bold spirit. The name "Calypso" pays homage to the Afro-Caribbean musical genre known for its rhythmic and harmonic richness, echoing the complex and multifaceted nature of this rum. This isn't your typical Caroni; while it retains the classic Caroni profile characterized by notes of tar, coffee, and smoke, it also introduces intriguing elements like brown sugar, berries, and floral hints. The nose features alcoholic accents with tar and plastic, followed by a wave of brown sugar and berries. On the palate, the high ABV is quite dominant, but once settled, it reveals a medley of tar, metal, wood, and spices trailed by berries. The finish is long and warm, enriched with tar and spices. A few drops of water can help to mellow this rum, allowing its complex character to shine through. Although some criticize the price-to-quality ratio, connoisseurs will appreciate its rich, layered profile. Limited in availability, this bottle is a treasure for any serious rum enthusiast.
