Paradise #5 is a molasses rum from Caroni, distilled in 2000 on Trinidad. It matured in single cask 4053 on the island, then spent time in glass demijohns in Cognac after selection for the Paradise series.
Velier bottled it in 2023 as a full-proof release at 67.5% ABV. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and the outturn is 223 bottles of 70cl, supplied in a gift box.
Caroni was closely tied to Trinidad's sugar industry and is now closed; Velier, founded in Genoa in 1947, played an important role in preserving and releasing Caroni stocks.
Tasting Notes
Turpentine and varnish notes with cantaloupe melon and ripe banana, then lighter herbal tones, a trace of cigar smoke and a note reminiscent of sweet sarsaparilla lemonade.
Oily and juicy, with slightly burnt caramel, a subtle charred note and flambéed banana, then drier with wood tannins, vanilla and oak, plus fine cigar smoke.
Long, combining distinct but not overpowering diesel notes with juicy red fruits and hawthorn berries; a light varnish note completes the aftertaste.
