The Caroni 1994 24yo 59% Magnum Full Proof Heavy Trinidad Rum is truly a one-of-a-kind gem in the world of rum. This exceptionally rare spirit was distilled in 1994, aged in Trinidad until 2008, and then further matured at DDL in Guyana until 2018. Bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show’s 10th anniversary by Velier in 2018, it comes in a hand-blown magnum bottle crafted by Italian master glassblower Massimo Lunardon.
What makes this particular bottle even more special is that it’s ONE of only 3 in existence.
One of these bottles was sold for a charitable cause, supporting efforts to combat plastic pollution. Luca Gargano and Thierry Benitah, both prominent figures in the world of spirits, own the other two bottles, and they’ve pledged not to sell them.
Owning this Caroni Magnum is like possessing a unique piece of rum history. Among rum enthusiasts worldwide, you’d be the sole owner of this exceptional treasure, despite its high demand among collectors and connoisseurs. It’s a testament to the craftsmanship, rarity, and passion that goes into creating and preserving such extraordinary spirits.
