Description
Product Details

The Caroni 1996 HTR the Last rum aged 23 years in Guyana, is a very special edition is the last.

The Caroni distillery ceased production in 2002, a production of excellent rum lasting 84 years.

However, various Caroni rum stocks have remained around the world.

Jealously guarded barrels that age under the Caribbean sun.

In 2004 Luca Gargano discovered 173 barrels within the Caroni distillery.

Distilled in 1996 it suffered a double aging, until 2008 it aged in Trinitad then it was transferred to Guyana where it remained until 2017.

In 2018 the remaining Caroni rum barrels were transferred to Cognac, France.

Caroni Guyana 1996 23 Yo HTR the Last, is the last bottling of the huge stock that Luca Gargano had the chance to discover on December 9th 2004 in the warehouses of the Caroni distillery.

Following one of his dreams he let them rest on the spot to mature in the tropical climate of Trinidad and then of Guyana.

Caroni 1996 HTR the Last is a blend of 24 heavy barrels bottled at full grade and aged 100% in the tropics.

This incredible 23-year-old rum has been bottled to a high degree (high proof) to keep all its flavor notes intact.

We must therefore taste it bearing in mind that it has a high alcohol content.

Distilled from Caroni in 1996 and aged for 23 years with a product loss of 85%, it is bottled by Velier in 2019 in very few bottles.

Tasting notes:

Balanced and intense, this cult rum version of the island of Trinidad and Tobago is characterized by a vanilla flavor, of citrus fruits, beeswax and white flowers.

The nose is well perceived aromas of molasses, tar, coffee, candied lemon, black currant, very ripe banana and vanilla.

The evolution in the glass is spectacular, just wait and the Caroni 1996 HTR the Last rum gives new sensations to every taste.

We recommend a combination of Caroni rum with the president's Tuscan or Cohiba Magicos.

If you are a fan of slow smoking, we recommend combining this extraordinary Caroni rum with the Samuel Gawith Perfection.
