Caroni Rum: A piece of Caribbean history in every bottle
Originally produced in Trinidad, Caroni Rum has a loyal following among connoisseurs and collectors around the world.
After the closure of the original Caroni distillery in 2002, the remaining casks were purchased by various independent bottlers and collectors. Some of the most well-known independent bottlers that own and bottle Caroni casks include Velier, Bristol Spirits, The Rum Cask, Silver Seal and Cadenhead's. These bottlers sell the rum under their own brands, often with individual bottling notes that highlight the uniqueness of each cask.
The art of Caroni rum production and the secret of its maturation
Caroni Rum was traditionally made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar cane processing. The barrels were originally aged in Trinidad, giving the rum its distinctive characteristics. The island's tropical climate accelerates the maturation process, resulting in a rum with exceptional depth and complexity.
Caroni is known for its heavy, full body and rich flavor profile, which often features notes of tobacco, leather and dried fruit. These distinctive flavors are the result of the traditional manufacturing processes and the special conditions in which the rum is aged. In addition, the limited availability of the remaining barrels has made Caroni Rum a sought-after collector's item, valued for its rarity and historical significance.
A tribute to Caribbean history and rum production
Caroni Rum not only stands for exceptional quality and taste, but also for a piece of Caribbean and rum production history. Its unique history, the variety of independent bottlers and limited availability make every sip a special experience that is appreciated by connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
