Caroni 17 Years Old 1998

Founded in 1923, in the heart of the Caroni plain's sugarcane plantations, this famed Trinidad distillery was renowned throughout the world 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. The Caroni 17-year-old bottling contains rum from the 1998 vintage, bottled at 55% (110° proof), furthermore, the label is a reproduction of an original from 1940. Chosen to commemorate the golden age of Trinidad Rum.
