Oh my gosh what a rum!!! Let's leave it like this... it was the comment at first taste, like a child who unwraps the best gift. Approaching the nose to the new toys smell, we had an expression gratified and amazed at the same time.
The golden age of the Caribbean... the eighteenth century when the galleons from Old Europe brought adventurers, impoverished aristocrats, desperados, bandits and benefactors. All in search of a second chance, a new destiny. Trinidad, from Columbus onwards (the explorer discovered the island on his third voyage), certainly saw it all, receiving - or in some cases stealing - something from every one of these many souls.
Caol Ila matured in casks for 31 years: a truly selection. Predominant medicinal iodine and nose, but Nevertheless well amalgamated into an overall aromatic structure That supports and accompanies it. Medicinal herbs, vanilla, leather and liquorice in the background complete the expression. Remarkably persistent on the palate, where the typical Islay saltiness predominates.
