Caroni Rum
Caroni RumEstablished in 1923 on the site of the old Caroni sugar factory with both column and pot stills, Caroni produced rums notable for a distinctive heavy profile which was supplied to the British Navy. Despite protests, in 2001 it was sold by the Trinidad government to Angostura, and it was then closed in 2002.In 2004, the remaining barrels were purchased, bottled and sold by collectors - a phenomenon termed "Caronimania". |
