Yesterday's tasting went a bit overboard so I thin I'll only add the first 6 because we had more than one too many :-) This is a very light Caroni so I'd say good for those trying out Caroni for the first time.

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 620 Rums

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.
