The legendary Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in Trinidad & Tobago, is the emblem of a unique and rare expertise in the world of rum. This state-owned distillery had its own sugar mill, ensuring a constant supply of exceptionally high-quality sugarcane grown on site. Equipped with both column and pot stills, Caroni managed to create rums with a distinctive aromatic profile, combining complex notes of hydrocarbons, mild spices, and delicate honey. Long kept secret and shrouded in fascinating mystery, the distillery produced few rums marketed under its own name. In 2002, due to the local sugar industry crisis, the government closed this iconic distillery, making its rums even rarer and more sought after. Today, Caroni rums have become true treasures for collectors and enthusiasts, supported by an almost mystical reputation.
