CARONI 1996 Velier 23 Year Old Full Proof Heavy David 'Sarge' Charran (No Box)

Caroni 1996 Velier 23 Year Old represents a rare window into Trinidad's storied rum heritage. Distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2019 by the esteemed Velier label, this full-proof expression captures the heavy, funky character that defined Caroni's final years before closure in 2003. Aged 23 years in tropical conditions, the spirit develops deep notes of molasses, leather, and dark fruit, with the signature Caroni funk—a bold, unapologetic profile favored by serious rum collectors. Bottled at full proof without chill filtration, every sip delivers uncompromised intensity and complexity. This release honors David "Sarge" Charran, a legendary figure in rum production. Sold without original packaging, it offers collectors an opportunity to own a piece of Caribbean rum history at a more accessible price point. Limited availability makes this a sought-after addition to any serious spirits collection.
