Founded in 1923, in the heart of the Caroni plain’s sugarcane plantations, this famed Trinidad distillery was renowned throughout the world for its rum. In 2003, with the closing of the state-owned sugarcane refinery, the Trinidad sugarcane production ceased and the distillery was shut down shortly after. In 2005 La Maison & Velier bought all the stock on the island. The Caroni 2000 contains rum distilled and fully matured in Trinidad. The tropical conditions result in a 80% loss of the distilled spirit due to evaporation. To perfectly capture the unique Trinidad Rum character of this closed distillery, the Caroni 2000 has been bottled at 55%.
