Duncan Taylor Quarterdeck Caroni Trinidad 1998 24 Year Old Single Cask #37 50.7% ABV

Duncan Taylor Quarterdeck Caroni Trinidad 1998 24 Year Old is a single cask rum from the closed Caroni Distillery in Trinidad, bottled by the Scottish independent bottler Duncan Taylor of Huntly in its Quarterdeck Single Cask Rum series. The label records distillation on 30 January 1998 in a column still and bottling on 18 February 2022 after 24 years, from cask 37, which gave 281 bottles. It is bottled at 50.7% ABV in a 700ml bottle, non chill filtered and with no added colour, and comes in a black presentation tin. Caroni began as a sugar factory in 1918 and stopped distilling in 2003, and its remaining stocks are now released mainly by independent bottlers as limited single casks like this one.

Serve: Neat, in a tulip glass, with water added a drop at a time.
