Aged for 16 years in tropical conditions, this full-proof expression delivers the signature Caroni character—rich molasses, dark fruit, and a mineral earthiness that defines the distillery's legacy.\n\nVelier's meticulous selection and bottling standards ensure authenticity and depth. The heavy profile carries notes of burnt sugar, leather, and subtle spice, with a viscous mouthfeel that rewards patient exploration. A collector's piece for those seeking the complexity and history of one of rum's most storied producers.","brand":"continental-ws","offers":[{"title":"700mL","offer_id":51569355030816,"sku":"99354","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/8725\/1488\/files\/99354.jpg?v=1757066850","url":"https:\/\/www.continentalws.com\/products\/caroni-1998-velier-16-year-old-full-proof-heavy","provider":"Continental Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
