Trinidad
Established in 1923, the Caroni Rum Distillery in Trinidad was built on the Caroni sugar factory grounds, using molasses byproduct to produce bold, smoky, and oily rums. Revered locally and internationally, Caroni gained fame for its blending potential and aging quality. However, the decline of Trinidad’s sugar industry led to its closure in 2003. Afterward, the distillery achieved legendary status, with independent bottlers acquiring remaining stocks. These aged rums became rare, prized collector’s items. Today, though no longer operating, Caroni remains one of the most iconic names in rum. Its legacy lives on through these sought-after releases, revered by enthusiasts worldwide
