Caroni 24 YO 1998 Tortuga No3 Mizunara Long Finish
“This feeling of turpentine may – or not – stem from that mizunara wood. With water: sweet petrol, shall we say. The oak’s getting a little insistent, maybe. Finish: long, between pinewood/mizunara and olives, lemons, liquorice and tar. Some sweeter fruitiness in the aftertaste. Comments: it’s absolutely excellent…”.

The bottle
The Tortuga No. 3 reimagines Caroni by giving the now defunct distillery an oriental twist. As the first ever Caroni to be finished for nearly 2 years in rare Mizunara Oak from Hokkaido, it merges the flavours of the Caribbean with those of the Far East, taking conservation to a truly global scale. The Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC), founded in 1959 to save sea turtles from imminent extinction, carries out global programmesto conserve and recover sea turtle populations through research, advocacy, and protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend.
The Caroni Tortuga Edition No. 3 supports this cause by raising awareness for the Conservancy’s endeavors and enabling consumers to directly contribute to sea turtle conservation through a bottle of the Tortuga No. 3.
The Tortuga Series was created & designed by East Asia Whisky Company. The spirit was selected & bottled by Precious Liquors as part of this collaboration.
