CARONI 20 years - Vintage 2000 - Nita Hogan - Employees 3rd edition - 65.2% ABV
No box
The famous Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 in the state of Trinidad & Tobago, is an iconic player in the history of Caribbean rums. This state-owned distillery benefited from an integrated sugar mill, ensuring an optimal supply of raw materials thanks to exceptional sugarcane grown locally. Equipped with various stills, both column and pot stills, Caroni developed a unique and internationally recognized rum style. Long shrouded in mystery and rarely accessible, the distillery seldom marketed its rums under its own label, thus enhancing their legendary aura. Its spirits are renowned for their exceptional aromatic profile, blending complex notes of hydrocarbons, delicate sweet spices, and a hint of liquid honey.
The closure of Caroni in 2002, caused by a major crisis in the local sugar industry, propelled the rarity of these exceptional rums to an almost mythical status among collectors and discerning enthusiasts. Their unique character is now part of the essential treasures of rare and prestigious spirits.
For this exclusive 3rd edition of the "Employees" series, we find the three emblematic figures: "Vijay," "Buju," and "Nitz." The Nitz cuvée pays tribute to Nita Hogan, a remarkable woman who dedicated more than 30 years of her life to the Caroni distillery. This 2000 vintage is a carefully selected blend of 6 casks from original distillations, boasting a powerful natural strength of 65.2%. An authentic and raw expression that will appeal to enthusiasts seeking the intensity and depth typical of Caroni rums.
