Caroni 1996 Velier - Single Cask R3719 for Giuseppe Begnoni - b. 2016 - 70cl

Caroni 20 Years Old Full Proof Heavy Trinidad Rum

Single Cask Velier Exclusive for Giuseppe Begnoni

Exceptional and highly collectible bottle from the legendary Caroni in Trinidad, a distillery closed since 2002 and now considered one of the most iconic names in the world of rum.

This release is a Single Cask Caroni selected and bottled by Velier, exclusively for Giuseppe Begnoni. Distilled in 1996 and fully matured in Trinidad for 20 years in ex bourbon casks, this is a true full proof heavy Caroni, bottled in 2016 without dilution.

The extremely high angel’s share, over 85 percent, reflects the intense tropical ageing and gives this rum extraordinary concentration, power, and depth. This bottling represents the pure Caroni heavy style, with characteristic industrial notes, tar, hydrocarbons, dark fruits, spices, and remarkable complexity. Releases from this series are among the most desirable Caroni bottlings available.
