Sample Swell de Spirits Caroni 1998 Private Garden N°15 (InterCaves Limoges) HTR 25yr 59,2% 3cl

Sample Swell de Spirits Caroni 1998 Private Garden N°15 (InterCaves Limoges) HTR 25yr 59,2% 3clAfter a first Caroni bottled in 2023 for Clos de Spiritueux, Swell de Spirits is back with a new 1998 Caroni, but this time for Inter Caves de Limoges. On the menu, the same vintage, another superb label, and already number 15 in the Private Garden series. As for the technical specifications of this lovely creature, we're looking at a 25 year old Caroni HTR with an alcohol content of 59. 2%. I imagine this aging was partly carried out in the tropics,

it is bottled cask strength in 1200 bottles

different sorts of tea

and herbal hints

Heavily toasted coconut leads to a long and complex finish

it is a single cask

The TDL Rum 2003 from The Whisky Jury's "Many Faces of Rum" series is a rare single cask bottling with impressive character

it embodies all the richness of a long and hybrid ageing

this expression contains a blend of selected rums from Diamond’s famous Coffey Still and Saville Still

That doesn’t really take anything away from this lovely fella however

the latter title at 53

is a blend from 5 casks from Jamaica’s Hampden Estate

Aged for two decades
