CARONI 20 years - Exceptional aged rum - Vintage 1998 - That Boutique-y Rum Company - 54.70%
The famous Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in the iconic state of Trinidad & Tobago, is an essential gem in the world of vintage rum. This state-owned distillery had its own sugar mill, ensuring an exclusive supply of raw materials thanks to the local cultivation of sugarcane of unparalleled quality. Equipped with a variety of column and pot stills, Caroni has forged a unique and captivating olfactory identity. Long shrouded in mystery and considered rare treasures, their rums stand out for a complex aromatic profile blending powerful notes of hydrocarbons, a gentle palette of exotic spices, and a delicate touch of honey. However, following the sugar industry crisis, the distillery unfortunately ceased operations in 2002, making its precious rums even rarer and more sought after. This increased rarity has propelled Caroni to the status of a mythical icon in the world of spirits, making each bottle a true object of desire for enthusiasts and collectors.
Here is a prestigious bottle from this legendary Caroni distillery: a 20-year-old rum, bottled at its exceptional natural strength of 54.70%. This 1998 vintage comes from a limited batch of casks carefully selected by the expert teams at That Boutique-Y Rum Company. Offered exclusively by Clos des Spiritueux, this rum offers a rare sensory experience that will delight the most demanding palates and passionate lovers of exceptional rums. A unique opportunity to add to your collection a treasure with a typically Caribbean character and incomparable aromatic richness.
