Caroni 15 Y.O. Trinidad Vol.52% Cl. 70

Caroni 15 Years: A Trinidadian Treasure and a Collectible Gem

The 1998 Caroni 15 Years is one of the most iconic rum releases, a symbol of a now rare Trinidadian tradition.

Bottled in 2013, this rum carries the legacy of a glorious past with a label that evokes the legendary 1940s, echoing the vintage design of those times.

The Last 100% Trinidad Rum

The "Last 100% Trinidad Rum" label emphasizes the historical importance of this spirit, reportedly the last produced entirely from Trinidadian sugar cane.

Aged entirely in the Caribbean, the Caroni 15 Years is slightly younger than its predecessors, allowing for a reduction to 52% ABV to achieve the perfect balance.

A Spirit from a Unique Selection

Created from barrels distilled in 1998, this rum represents the last stock of 630 barrels purchased by Luca Gargano in 2011.

Despite being among the youngest Caronis ever bottled, these rums are not lacking in complexity, and are the last to be produced with local molasses, sourced from the last sugarcane fields in Trinidad before the Caroni Sugar Refinery closed in 2003.

A Historic Legacy of Exclusive Bottlings

The Caroni 15 label, stylized as it was in the 1940s and 1960s during the golden era under the management of Tate & Lyle, lends a historic and nostalgic touch.

This was one of the few times Caroni rums were officially bottled, making this bottle a true collector's item.

History has it that Caroni rums were so highly regarded that they were an integral part of blends for the British Navy.

Clear and Transparent Production Details

Each bottle of Caroni 15 not only states its aging year but also the year of distillation and bottling, ensuring complete transparency, as is the tradition of Luca Gargano's signature bottlings. This attention to detail, combined with the exceptional quality of the rum itself, makes Caroni 15 an unmissable investment for collectors and connoisseurs.

Caroni 15 Years, with its fascinating history and rich aromatic profile, is not only a tribute to Trinidadian traditions but also a living, tangible example of an artisanal practice that has earned and maintained the acclaim of connoisseurs around the world.

This rum, with its 70% angel share, is a vibrant testament to a bygone era, ready to be enjoyed in every glass.

Caroni 15 Years is considered among the finest rums in the world!
