Cuvée presentation

Offered by La Maison & Velier
Caroni needs no introduction. The legendary Trinidadian distillery permanently closed its doors on July 31, 2003. In October 2004, Luca Gargano, CEO of Velier, explored the abandoned site during a photographic reconnaissance mission. Deep within the derelict cellars, he discovered a forgotten treasure consisting of thousands of casks, some dating as far back as 1974. This historic moment marked the birth of Velier’s iconic Caroni bottlings.
This exceptional magnum is an equal part blend of five iconic casks from the Caroni Paradise range, namely editions #13 to #17: #5607 (1996), #6133 (1994), #3801 (1996), #3929 (1998) and #4026 (2000). This unique blend produces a spectacular cuvée, distinguished by an angel’s share of more than 85%.
Crafted exclusively for FSA as a unique single bottle, this non-commercial cuvée is a true collector’s item.
The lot will be available for dispatch in November 2026.

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.
