Distilled at the famous Caroni Distillery, which has gained legendary status among rum enthusiasts, this bottling stands out for both its history and quality.
This exceptional rum was distilled in 1998 and aged for a significant 20 years before being bottled in June 2018.

The base of this rum is derived from molasses, and it is produced using the traditional pot still method. This method is well-known for creating rich and flavorful spirits, contributing to the unique profile of this bottling. Additionally, the aging process took place under continental climate conditions, which often results in a different maturation profile compared to tropical aging, influencing the final taste and aroma of the rum.
The rum was bottled by Cadenhead's, one of the oldest independent bottlers in Scotland, renowned for their meticulous selection and high-quality offerings. Cadenhead's has a reputation for releasing limited editions of exceptional spirits, and this Caroni TMCG 1998 is no exception. The partnership with The Nectar, a prolific Belgian spirits company, further emphasizes the premium nature of this bottling, bringing together expertise and passion from both organizations.
Available in a standard 70 cl bottle, this is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and heritage of Caroni's legacy. The alluring combination of rich molasses, extended aging, and high potency makes this rum a true gem in the world of fine spirits.
