This full-proof expression was aged in tropical conditions for nearly three decades, developing deep mahogany hues and a complex flavor profile shaped by the Caribbean climate.\n\nVelier's meticulous selection and bottling process preserves the distillery's signature heavy-bodied character—rich molasses, dark fruit, and subtle spice notes that define Caroni's legacy. The 'Sonny Black' designation reflects the personal curation behind this release, honoring the craftsmanship of a distillery that no longer operates.\n\nA collector's piece for those seeking authentic pre-closure Caroni stock with provenance and depth.
