The renowned Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad & Tobago, is one of the jewels of the Caribbean rum industry. This public distillery benefits from an integrated sugar mill, ensuring an optimal supply of excellent sugarcane, cultivated directly on its fertile lands. Equipped with a sophisticated array of column and pot stills, Caroni has built over the decades a mysterious and secret aura. Indeed, only a few rums have been bottled under its own brand, contributing to the unique and mythical character of its spirits. Their dominant aromatic signature blends powerful hydrocarbon notes, delicately dosed sweet spices, and a creamy touch of honey. The definitive closure of the distillery in 2002, following the major crisis in the sugar sector, has amplified the rarity and legendary value of these rums, which have become essential treasures for collectors and discerning enthusiasts today.
This 23-year-old Caroni aged rum from the 1996 vintage - Employees 2nd Release D. Sarge is an exceptional and very rare example, from the prestigious "Employees" collection made available by Velier. This emblematic series pays tribute to the passionate staff of the mythical Caroni distillery, capturing the very essence of its unique heritage. Bottled at its natural strength without dilution, this bottle proudly bears the mark of David Charran, nicknamed "Sarge," attesting to his essential role in preserving this heritage. On tasting, one immediately recognizes Caroni's characteristic olfactory signature, with delicate notes of powerful hydrocarbons, enhanced by spicy touches and a subtle honey sweetness. A true gem, this bottle embodies a rare collector's piece and an incomparable gustatory work of art, ideal for enriching any cellar of exceptional rum lovers.
