Caroni 2000 17 Year Old Cask #R4008 Trinidad Rum

Deep, intense, and faintly legendary—this Caroni 17-Year-Old bottling from Velier for The Whisky Exchange epitomizes Trinidadian finesse at its most robust.

Distilled in 2000 at the now-closed Caroni Distillery, this expression aged entirely under tropical conditions for seventeen years. Bottled in 2017 from single cask R4008, it’s offered at a formidable 70.4% ABV and limited to just 238 bottles worldwide.

The atmosphere of heavy molasses, the power of a Caribbean-aging environment, and Caroni’s iconic ‘full proof’ intensity converge. It’s not just rum—it’s history in a bottle, complex, unruly, and absolutely captivating.
