CARONI - 1985 - 21 ans - Heavy Rum Full Proof - 58,80%
Sans boite - No Box
Established in 1923 in Trinidad on the site of the old Caroni sugar factory with both column and pot stills, Caroni produced rums notable for a distinctive heavy profile which was supplied to the British Navy. Despite protests, in 2001 it was sold by the Trinidad government to Angostura, and it was then closed in 2002. But in 2004, while visiting Trinidad, Luca Gargano learnt of a warehouse full of barrels of rums in the derelict distillery. The barrels were purchased, bottled and sold and are now frantically sought out by collectors.
This Caroni is made from molasses and was distilled in 1985. It has been aged for 21 years and this edition was produced at 6,600 bottles.
Purchase limited to 1 bottle
