Sans boite - No Box
The famous Caroni distillery is founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad (Trinidad) & Tobago. This state distillery then owns its own sugar refinery to ensure its supply of raw material, high quality sugar canes produced on site. Highly equipped with different types of stills (columns and iron), this legendary distillery has long remained "secret" and "mystical". Indeed, few of their rums have been bottled under their own label. Their eaux-de-vie have a very unique aromatic profile with fragrances of hydrocarbons, sweet spices and honey. Unfortunately, the government decided to close the distillery in 2002 following a crisis in the sugar industry. As a result, their scarcity has risen sharply, making these rums so atypical in a mythical dimension.
This rum Caroni was distilled in 1996 to be bottled in 2019. It was first aged until 2008 in the winery of Trinidad before being assembled in 22 different casks in the cellars of the distillery DDL (Demerara ) in Guyana where he was aged 11 years more.
