Caroni 1998 by C. Dully Selection is a Heavy Trinidad Rum drawn from Christian Dully's selected stocks and bottled in 2021 at 54.2% volume. The release is numbered to 280 bottles, carrying the classic post-closure Caroni appeal in a slightly more rounded register than the most extreme Velier releases.
AGEING: distilled in 1998 and matured for 23 years, this bottling combines tropical identity with later continental refinement before bottling in Scotland. It is presented at full proof, natural colour and without chill filtration, with the vatting of barrels giving breadth rather than a single-cask edge.
SERVING: serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass and allow it to rest. A few drops of still water can open the compact structure. Pair with espresso, bitter chocolate, grilled beef or a full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar.
