Description
Velier Caroni 1994 100% Proof Heavy, bottled in 2017 after 23 years of tropical ageing. This 23-year-old Caroni has the particularity of having finished its aging in British Guiana, hence its name “Guyana Stock”. It therefore has until 2008 in Trinidad and then in Guyana until 2017, the date of its bottling.
Founded in 1918 in Trinidad and Tobago, Caroni is a state distillery which was running at full capacity until 1993 before closing definitively in 2002. Two years later, Luca Gargano discovered a dormant stock of a few thousand barrels, creating in no time an unprecedented craze.
Its bottlings are offered mostly cask strength and rums aged entirely in the tropics.
