Caroni 21 Year Old 1996 – A Rare Collector’s Heavy Rum
Discover a Lost Legacy in Every Sip
Caroni 21 Year Old 1996 is more than just a rum – it’s a rare piece of history. Distilled at the legendary Caroni Distillery in Trinidad in February 1996, this exceptional spirit was aged for 21 years in the tropical climate of its birthplace. It carries the legacy of one of the world’s most iconic heavy rum producers, now long gone. After maturing on the island until February 22, 2017, it was bottled in France in April of the same year.
The True Character of Heavy Rum
What sets Caroni 21 apart is its robust, complex flavor, a signature of the heavy rums once praised by the British Navy. Its bold profile is shaped by the intense tropical aging process, where an astonishing 86% of the original spirit evaporates – known as the “angel’s share.” The result is a concentrated and deeply flavorful rum with notes of dark fruit, oak, and spice.
Bottled at Cask Strength
To preserve its full character, Caroni 21 Year Old has been bottled at a powerful 57.18%. This high proof captures the essence of the distillery’s renowned heavy rum style. The label itself is a tribute to tradition – a faithful reproduction of a 1940s Caroni design, honoring the golden age of Trinidad rum.
Extremely Limited and Highly Sought-After
With the Caroni distillery having shut its doors in the early 2000s, bottles like this are increasingly rare. Enthusiasts and collectors alike seek it for its rich history and bold taste. It’s not just a bottle; it’s a journey into the past of Caribbean distillation.
