Donated by Silver Seal

Bottle available from November 2024,

Bottled under the prestigious label Silver Seal by Massimo Righi - the owner of this small Italian merchant, Whisky Antique, which was founded in 2000 - this version is a remarkable embodiment of the Caroni style. This cask has been specially selected by LMDW for the Foundations Catalogue and Silver Seal has developed a unique magnum for this exceptional auction.
Flooded with aromas and flavours from the hydrocarbons that have made the reputation of this emblematic rum, its range of aromas balances somewhere between exotic, spicy and floral. Ever indulgent, in retronasal smell, we have a delicious flavour of pistachio crème brûlée.

The distillery Caroni

The Caribbean, Trinidad. Distillery closed, site dismantled.

In 1975, under pressure from across the country, the government of Trinidad nationalized a number of companies, including Tate & Lyle, the English giant of sugar production and owner of Caroni Ltd since 1937. The very competitive economic context, however, led to the closure of the island's sugar refineries and the collapse of the molasses production required for the production of rum. In 2001, the government sold its shares in Rum Distillers Ltd (Caroni) to Angostura and closed the distillery in 2002. Caroni Ltd would be definitively liquidated on 31 July 2003. In October 2004, Luca Gargano, the CEO of the Italian spirit distributor Velier and a passionate rum enthusiast and photographer, visited Trinidad to carry out research for a future report. There he found the site abandoned and, within its cellars, a huge stock of barrels, some distilled in 1974. The story of Caroni began in 2005 and the distillery immediately became the subject of lore.
