Caroni 1996 23 Year Old Tasting Gang Full Proof 38th Release is an exclusive single cask rum from the legendary closed distillery of Trinidad, bottled by Velier as part of the iconic Caroni series. Distilled in 1996 and aged for twenty-three years in tropical conditions, it was selected in collaboration with the Caroni Tasting Gang, a group of renowned experts and enthusiasts entrusted with choosing the most remarkable casks from the dwindling stocks. Bottled at full proof, it captures the distillery’s unmistakable heavy style in its most authentic form. The profile is intense and complex, marked by deep notes of tar, burnt rubber and molasses layered with dark fruits, leather, tobacco and earthy spice, all carried on a long and powerful finish. Its exclusivity lies in both its age and its heritage: only a very limited number of bottles were produced, each representing a piece of Caroni history that can never be repeated. As the 38th release in Velier’s celebrated Caroni line, this bottling is revered by collectors worldwide as one of the most coveted treasures from a distillery whose myth grows larger with every passing year.
