CARONI 1998 Full Proof Caroni Estate 1975 One of 2750 bottles.

Founded in 1918, Caroni became Trinidad’s state-owned distillery and earned legendary status for producing intensely characterful “heavy rums”. Supplied by its own sugar refinery, Caroni developed a bold and unmistakable style defined by tarry depth, industrial notes and extraordinary complexity. Following its closure in 2002, forgotten casks discovered in Trinidad were acquired by Velier and La Maison du Whisky, leading to the release of highly sought-after limited editions that cemented Caroni’s cult reputation among rum enthusiasts worldwide.

This Caroni 1998 Full Proof Caroni Estate 1975 is one of only 2750 bottles released, showcasing the distillery’s iconic profile in all its raw intensity. Bottled at full proof, it delivers a powerful and layered experience where woody spice, exotic fruits, tarry richness and mineral depth intertwine with remarkable balance. A classic old-style Caroni — bold, uncompromising and deeply complex, revealing both the rugged industrial character and the surprising elegance that define the legendary Trinidad distillery.
