Caroni 18 Jahre alt 1997 Berry Bros

Caroni Distillery, founded in 1918 on a single estate complete with its own sugar plant, crafted a heavy, rich golden rum prized enough to supply the British Navy. Despite the Caribbean’s long history of rum distilling, dating back to 17th-century sugar plantations, the collapse of Trinidad’s sugar cane industry led to Caroni’s closure in 2002 and subsequent demolition. Once there were around 50 distilleries in Trinidad and Tobago, yet none now carry Caroni’s legacy, making Caroni Rum increasingly rare and highly sought-after by both connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
