A heavy Trinidad rum distilled from molasses in 1996. It spent twelve years in Trinidad, then matured in Guyana until 2018, and has been stored in glass demijohns in the Cognac region since 2019. Velier bottled it in 2025 as Paradise #12 at 60.8% ABV, from an outturn of 234 bottles. It is not chill-filtered and contains no colouring.
The rum is drawn from Barrel #5627 and comes in a hand-blown bottle by Massimo Lunardon with artwork by Trinidadian painter Che Lovelace. The 70cl bottle is presented in a gift box.
The nose combines dark chocolate, slate, orange peel and ripe mango with incense, diesel, wax and wood varnish, plus dried coriander, apricot, peach, Russian leather, iodine tincture, roasted walnuts and iris extract.
Tasting Notes
Dark chocolate, slate, orange peel and ripe mango with incense, diesel, wax and wood varnish, plus dried coriander, apricot, peach, Russian leather, iodine tincture, roasted walnuts and iris extract.
Petroleum, geranium, vetiver, liquorice and black tea alongside minty and chocolatey notes, marmalade and persimmon, then powdery cocoa and ginger, resinous pine, honey with lavender and sugar cane hints, finishing with a fine sooty impression.
Full-bodied, with sandalwood, incense and furniture polish, reminiscent of ageing rosewood; praline, ripe mango, cocoa bean and an unusual hint of sandpaper remain in the aromatic aftertaste.
