7.9/10

Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad that, at the height of its fame, produced rum that was added in a ratio of 1:10 to a naval blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000, the distillery stopped production and was closed. It was only in 2010 that tasters appeared who liked the rum precisely for its special taste. And interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of rums "you need to try before you die." I recommend it, Caroni is truly a unique rum.

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.
