CARONI 21 years - Vintage 1998 - Aged Rum - RUM NATION - 57.9%
The famous Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad & Tobago, is a historic gem in the world of rum. This unique state-owned distillery had its own sugar mill, ensuring a constant supply of high-quality raw materials thanks to the local cultivation of carefully selected sugar canes. Equipped with a range of stills, both column and pot stills, Caroni crafted rums with an exceptional aromatic profile, characterized by complex notes of hydrocarbons, sweet spices, and honey. Long shrouded in mystery, this iconic distillery bottled very few rums under its own name, giving them an almost legendary status. Unfortunately, the sugar industry crisis led the government to close the distillery in 2002, making all its rums rare treasures highly sought after by connoisseurs. This increased rarity has elevated Caroni to an essential icon in the world of exceptional spirits.
Founded in 1999 by Fabio Rossi, Rum Nation is a passionate brand dedicated to discovering and sharing the finest expressions of artisanal rums from around the world. True to its attention to detail, each young bottle is adorned with the postage stamp of the country of origin, attesting to the authenticity and impeccable provenance of the product.
Clos des Spiritueux is proud to present this unique rarity, a true testament to the final years of a legendary distillery: this Caroni aged rum vintage 1998, carefully aged for 21 years, embodies the excellence and aromatic complexity that make Caroni renowned. A collector's piece not to be missed for discerning enthusiasts and lovers of exceptional rums.
