La cuvée

A single cask (#R5620) Caroni distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2017 in a 1.5-litre magnum to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the most famous rum bottler. Velier was founded by Casimir Chaix in Genoa in 1947. It was a small family business that imported and distributed wine and spirits. In 1986, Luca Gargano, a former representative of Saint James and a great connoisseur and collector of rum, acquired the company and launched its trading activities, initially with whisky in 1992 and rum in 1996. Gargano bottled its first Demerara that same year. In 2004 his friend Yesu Persaud, then Chairman of DDL, invited Gargano to Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) in Guyana to select casks. This partnership came to an end in 2015 when Mr Persaud retired, but all the rums bottled, in the meantime, have become iconic. The same applies to the casks of Caroni, which he bought in 2005, two years after the distillery had closed, following a visit to Trinidad to take photographs with Fredi Marcarini the previous year. These two bottling lineages have established Velier’s reputation, and the company is now also renowned for its work in other Caribbean territories such as Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti and Marie-Galante. The distinctive feature of the rums selected by Velier is that they have only been matured in a tropical climate, resulting in considerable aromatic concentration and a considerable angels’ share. He generally bottles them either at cask strength or with slight reductions. Limited edition of 119 bottles.

La distillerie Caroni

Caraîbes, Trinidad. Distillerie fermée, site démantelé.

En 1975, sous la pression nationale, le gouvernement de Trinidad nationalise de nombreuses sociétés dont Tate & Lyle, géant anglais de l'exploitation sucrière et propriétaire de Caroni Ltd depuis 1937. Mais le contexte économique très concurrentiel provoque la fermeture des sucreries de l'île et l'effondrement de la production de mélasse nécessaire à la production de rhum. En 2001, le gouvernement cède ses parts de Rum Distillers Ltd (Caroni) à Angostura et ferme la distillerie en 2002. Caroni Ltd sera définitivement liquidée le 31 juillet 2003. En Octobre 2004, Luca Gargano, PDG de la société italienne de distribution de spiritueux Velier, passionné de rhum et de photographie, se rend à Trinidad afin d'y effectuer un repérage pour un futur reportage. Il y trouve un site à l'abandon et au sein des chais, une multitude de barriques dont certaines distillées en 1974. L'histoire de Caroni débute en 2005 et la distillerie entre directement dans la légende.
