Caroni Paradise #9 limited edition.
Discover the Paradise range, an extraordinary collection of rums unearthed by Luca Gargano after Caroni distillery’s closure in 2004. With vintages spanning 1974 to 2000, they journeyed to France’s Cognac region for barrel selection and continued maturation in glass demijohns. Honoring the cognac tradition, the Paradise bottlings rest like some of the finest cognacs.

These magnificent rums find their home in hand-blown glass bottles by Massimo Lunardon, adorned with captivating artworks by Trinidadian artist Che Lovelace. Each painting transports us to the lush landscapes of Trinidad and Tobago, where the beauty of humanity and nature unite in perfect harmony.
Indulge in the Paradise range, an exquisite homage to Caroni’s heritage and artistic brilliance.
