Founded in 1918 in the heart of Trinidad and Tobago, the Caroni distillery has long been a flagship of local rum production. With its own sugar mill and supply of molasses, it developed an instantly recognizable style: dense, powerful rums with hints of molasses, spices, and sometimes tar or rubber, earning it a reputation as an inimitable “heavy rum.”

The distillery closed its doors in 2002, leaving behind limited stocks of barrels. These barrels, bought up and bottled in small quantities, have now become collector's items sought after by enthusiasts and aficionados around the world. Caroni is no more, but its legacy lives on through these rare bottles, where each sip tells a part of the history of Trinidad and Tobago and Caribbean rum.

Nose: vegetal tar, black licorice, smoked honey, spice, cane essences, mineral tones.
Palate: incisive attack, resin, ripe dark fruit (black plum), licorice, gum, dark caramel.
Finish: long, persistent, with a return of tar, wild herbs, burnt wood and leather.
