Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
A powerful and disquieting opening through hydrocarbons - albeit in light doses, just to make up a space. Then gum and black fruits (blackberries and morello cherries)... the same felt -tip pen we use in Hispanic rums we produced in the past. After, coffee, boisé, the broad presence of black pepper. The palate is livelier than what the nose might have promised, as it is pressured by milk chocolate, coconut, date and menthol.
Caroni 1997 vintage Caribbean Golden Rum from Trinidad. Single cask #899 bottled 2022 by Samaroli for the Magnifico series. Just 132 numbered bottles.

The Distillery
Caroni
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.
