This Caroni rum contains rum distilled from the 1998 vintage, which was matured for seventeen years (however the box incorrectly says fifteen and contains an Erratum in the box) on the island. The tropical conditions resulted in an 80% loss of the distilled spirit due to evaporation known as the 'Angel's Share'. To perfectly capture the unique Heavy Rum character of this closed distillery, Caroni 17 year old has been bottled at 110 Proof or 55% Alcohol. Furthermore, the label is a reproduction of an original from 1940 to commemorate the golden age of Trinidad Rum.

Distillery Info

Founded in 1923, in the heart of the Caroni plain's sugarcane plantations, this famed Trinidad distillery was renowned for producing one of the very best Heavy Rums, receiving high praise from the British Navy. In 2003, with the closing of the nearby state-owned sugar refinery, the Trinidad sugarcane production ceased and the distillery was inevitably shut down shortly after.

This Caroni 1998 Trinidad Rum Aged 17 Years was bottled in November 2015.
