The Caroni rum, a marriage of 1997 and 1999 distillates, was bottled at 65.2% ABV after tropical maturation in Trinidad and featured notes of roasted nuts, pineapple and orange blossom. The Carsebridge release was drawn from an ex-Bourbon cask distilled in 1965 and bottled at 42.4% ABV with aromas of toffee, baking spices and crème brûlée. Each bottle is wax-sealed and individually numbered, presented in a bespoke case containing a 50ml miniature, tasting book and engraved stopper cork. The Caroni release is limited to 261 bottles with an SRP of £1,750, while the Carsebridge is limited to 140 bottles priced at £3,700. Both releases highlight the legacy and provenance of now-closed distilleries. For collectors and connoisseurs, the releases offer access to spirits from demolished distilleries with decades of maturation behind them, reflecting continued demand for provenance-driven luxury bottlings and archival-aged releases.
