Perennia Caroni 27 yr Trinidad Rum – 375ml
$275.00
THE LEGEND: The king of lost rum distilleries, Trinidad’s Caroni Distillery quietly produced its last drops in 2002 before its tragic dismantling – only to rise again as most iconic cult rum of our time. Caroni was our gateway to the rum-verse and a royal pain to get in the US, so we’re ecstatic to present the first Caroni release by an American independent bottler.
THE RUM: While many “super heavy” Caronis have the notorious notes of burnt rubber, pungent diesel and old leather amped up to 11, we sought out a more elegant cask with notes of luscious fruits, dark caramel & fragrant tobacco to balance all its intrinsic industrial ferocity. We hope you’ll treasure the history and sensory journey of Perennia as much as we do!
AGING: 12 yrs in Trinidad, 15 years UK Distilled in 1997, Bottled 2025
PRODUCTION: Molasses in Column Still No Additives
STRENGTH: 58% Cask Strength ABV Add water blasphemously!
