CARONI - 15 years - Velier - Vintage 1998 - 52%
The famous Caroni Distillery was founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad & Tobago . This state distillery then had its own sugar factory to ensure its supply of raw materials, high-quality sugar cane produced on site. Heavily equipped with different types of stills (column and repasse), this legendary distillery remained secret and mystical for a long time. Indeed, few of their rums were bottled under their own label. Their spirits have a very unique aromatic profile with fragrances of hydrocarbons, sweet spices and honey. However, the government decided to close the distillery in 2002 following a crisis in the sugar industry. As a result, their rarity increased significantly, making these rums with such an atypical character a mythical one.
This edition was selected by Luca Gargano . The rum was distilled in 1998 , aged for 15 years and bottled in 2013. It was aged in a tropical climate and the angels' share exceeded 75%. Due to its high alcohol content, it is recommended to add a drop of fresh water when tasting.
