{"product_id":"caroni-1996-velier-full-proof-heavy-employees-united","title":"CARONI 1996 Velier Full Proof Heavy Employees United","description":"Caroni 1996 Velier Full Proof Heavy Employees United represents a rare and exceptional expression from Trinidad's legendary Caroni distillery. Bottled by the esteemed Velier at full proof, this release captures the bold, funky character that defined Caroni's final years of production before closure in 2003.\n\nExpect a complex profile dominated by heavy esters, tropical fruit, and the distinctive vegetal notes characteristic of Caroni's pot still distillation. The full proof bottling preserves every layer of intensity—rich molasses, dried fruit, and subtle spice—without dilution. This is a collector's piece for those who appreciate uncompromising, unapologetic rum.\n\nLimited availability. A testament to Caroni's enduring legacy and Velier's commitment to authentic bottling.","brand":"continental-ws","offers":[{"title":"700mL","offer_id":51569342873888,"sku":"99359","price":2574.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/8725\/1488\/files\/99359.jpg?v=1757066844","url":"https:\/\/www.continentalws.com\/products\/caroni-1996-velier-full-proof-heavy-employees-united","provider":"Continental Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
