Filling level: neck, excellent label, excellent capsule, bottle in perfect condition, stored perfectly in my air-conditioned cellar. Caroni Navy Rum “90° Proof” is a special edition of great value, created by Velier from Caroni rums aged for 18 years to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Caroni Distillery. vy “90 Proof” is a sort of testament to the Caroni Distillery, which operated in Trinidad from 1918 until 2003 and represented an important piece of history of Caribbean Rum. After the closure of the distillery, a precious heritage of barrels of rum from old vintages of excellent quality remained, which Velier did not miss. You moved the precious cargo to Italy and began bottling historic labels. It is precisely from this Caribbean treasure that the precious bottles of this distillate derive. Trinidad, in the southernmost part of the Caribbean archipelago, was famous for its sugar cane plantations and for the production of a particularly high quality molasses, perfect for producing great Rums. The Navy “90 Proof” is a selection of the best Caroni Rums from Trinidad & Tobago, aged for 18 years in oak barrels in the warm tropical climate of the Caribbean, which has always been considered ideal for refining Rum.
