No Box
The famous and prestigious Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad & Tobago, is emblematic of terroir rum excellence. This state-owned distillery, which has its own sugar mill, guarantees an exceptional supply of raw materials thanks to locally grown and rigorously selected sugarcane. Equipped with sophisticated equipment combining column stills and pot stills, Caroni produces exceptional rums with a unique aromatic profile, skillfully blending powerful hydrocarbon fragrances, delicate notes of sweet spices, and a subtle touch of natural honey. Due to its limited and confidential production, few bottles have been marketed under the Caroni brand, thus enhancing its mystical and legendary aura. Following the major crisis in the sugar industry, the government unfortunately ordered the closure of the distillery in 2002, further increasing the rarity and exceptional value of these extraordinary rums, now essential for all demanding enthusiasts and collectors.
This Caroni 21-year-old aged rum from the 1998 vintage - Employees 2nd Release K. Slippery is a rare and exclusive piece, part of the prestigious "Employees" collection made available by Velier.

On tasting, one perfectly finds the characteristic aromatic signature of Caroni, with its distinct rich and refined hydrocarbon notes, accompanied by a complex palate with deep and captivating aromas.
A true gem in the world of rare rums, this gustatory masterpiece represents an exceptional collector's item, an indispensable jewel for connoisseurs and enthusiasts of fine spirits.
