Trinidad 17 Years Old Distillers Limited Trinidad & Tobago Dram Mor Single Cask Rum 57,5%

Trinidad Distillers Limited closed its doors in 2012, but single cask releases like this keep the distillery's legacy alive through Dràm Mòr's independent bottlings.

Expert Description

Distillers Limited 17 Year Dram Mor is a Trinidad Rum from a single cask, aged for 17 years and bottled at 57.5%.

The rum originates from Trinidad Distillers Limited, a distillery with roots dating back to 1947, which brought several smaller Trinidadian distilleries under one roof, and which was part of the Angostura group until its closure in 2012. The cask was selected and bottled by Dràm Mòr, the Scottish independent bottler founded by husband and wife team Viktorija and Kenny Macdonald in Dumbarton. The 17 years of ageing give the rum an unusual depth for a single cask release from a distillery that no longer exists.

The result is a powerful, complex rum, where tropical fruit and oak meet a long, spiced finish shaped by its high cask strength.
