Caroni - Millésime 1996 - 21 ans
Founded in 1923, in the heart of the Caroni plain's sugarcane plantations, this famed Trinidad distillery was renowned throughout the world for producing one of the very bast Heavy Rums, receiving high praise from the British Navy. In 2003, with the closing of the nearby state-owned sugar refinery, Trinidad sugarcane production ceased and the distillery was inevtably shut down shortly after.
Caroni 21 years old contains rum from the 1996 vintage, distilled and matured for21 years on the island. The tropical conditions result in a 86% loss of the distilled spirit due to evaporation:the angel's share. To perfectly capture the unique Heavy Rum character of this closed distillery, Caroni 21 years old has been bottled at 57,18%. Furthermore, the label is a reproduction of a original from 1940, chosen to comemorate the golden age of Trinidad Rum.

The Caroni distillery, owned by the states of Trinité and Tobago, closed its doors in 2002. After 84 years of production, it leaves behind it a few stills with columns, stills pot and some barrels that gave birth to vintage* rums we can offer you.
