Caroni 17 Year Old Extra Strong Velier 1998 is a high-proof rum from the now-defunct Caroni distillery in Trinidad, bottled in November 2015 at 17 years old. This 1998 vintage exemplifies Caroni’s signature full-bodied style, known for complex, robust flavours. The distillery, which ceased operations in 2002, has become a significant name in rum history, producing limited quantities sought after by collectors. With a cask strength that captures the essence of its tropical origin, this rum offers a taste of a once-thriving distillation heritage now preserved in a bottle.
