Tropical aging works quickly, and those first years left their mark; the slower stretch that followed let the rum settle rather than push further into the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed fruit opens things up, sweeter and brighter than the color suggests, with brown sugar and molasses underneath giving the whole thing weight. Licorice threads through the middle, and there is a cool green flick of mint against mature oak on the finish. Vanilla stays in the background, more texture than flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 126.2 proof this is bottled at full cask strength, so it arrives dense and warm and takes a few drops well if you want to open the fruit further. The 750 mL bottle comes from Port of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Progress Wine Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47865051054229,"sku":"81085203433","price":194.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/4349\/0965\/files\/la-maison-velier-flag-series-trinidad-2002-20-year-old-caroni-rum.webp?v=1788033754","url":"https:\/\/bigcliquorstore.com\/products\/la-maison-and-velier-flag-series-trinidad-2002-20-year-old-caroni-rum","provider":"Big C Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
