The Last Caroni - 1996 Velier 23 Year Old
The Caroni distillery, founded in 1918 and in 1937 taken over by Tate & Lyle (British sugar giant), was once a major supplier of high-proof rum to the British Navy. In the 1970s the Trinidad Government purchased Caroni. After years of decline in the sugar industry, Caroni was closed in 2003. Angostura and Velier acquired much of the remaining stock, with Luca Gargano of Velier playing a key role. Gargano launched the first Caroni bottlings in 2005 and made a significant impact on the rum landscape.
