Caroni is now a cult throughout Europe: the distillery has been closed since 2003 and the bottlings of the few remaining barrels are gaining more and more value among collectors. The stock is becoming ever smaller, considering the incredible Angel Share in Trinidad, up to 10% per year. Parallel to this, refinement is always fast and in fact the old Caroni of 20 years should be considered as 50 or 60 years in continental weather.
The latest releases of 2016 were literally "burned", among the few markets where bottles were sold.
The search for the bottles of the first 90s is fervent, that of the very few bottles left of the 80s has become almost impossible. For the heroes who open the bottles ... the pleasure of tasting the oldest rums on the market today.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
