Caroni Extra Strong 90 Proof - 100th Anniversary

Caroni Extra Strong 90 Proof - 100th Anniversary

£300.00

A highly rare and collectable rum from one of the Caribbean's most famous "Ghost" distilleries

  • Located in the heart of Trinidad's Caroni plains, Caroni was established in 1918
  • Initially equipped with a cast iron pot still, which was replaced by single and column stills over the years, Caroni became infamous for producing a very distinctive heavy style of rum
  • In 2004, just a year after the distillery closed, Italian raconteur Luca Gargano visited Trinidad for a photo shoot and came across the boarded-up distillery by chance
  • He then learned the location of its warehouse, full of Caroni barrels - Luca couldn't believe his luck! Over the next few years the barrels were purchased, its contents bottled and released
  • As word slowly got out, 'Caronimania' began to take hold and in recent years bottlings have been frantically sought after by fans and collectors
    • Type/Colour: Dark
    • Alcohol: 51.4%
    • Bottle Size: 70cl
    • Country: Trinidad and Tobago
