Caroni Trinidad 2000 The Paradise N. 5, cask #4053: the legend continues

The Caroni Trinidad 2000 The Paradise No. 5 - cask #4053 - continues Caroni's The Paradise series, whose origins date back to the legendary Caroni Ceremony on 12 April 2019. During this event, 26 rum experts - including Luca Gargano - selected the 23 best from the 136 casks remaining from Caroni's last available stock. From this selection came Caroni The Last, Caroni Tasting Gang and Caroni Employees; and special casks were then selected to be bottled as Single Cask: The Paradise series.

The cask selected here is #4053, and comes from the stock that after distillation remained in Trinidad until 2019. After selection, it was decanted into three 54-litre glass carboys - each label indicates the number, #1 to #3.

Only 223 bottles in total are part of this release, bottled Full Proof at 67.5°.

The bottles are blown by glass artist Massimo Lunardon, with labels based on the works of painter Che Lovelace, inspired by the colours of Trinidad and Tobago.
