Caroni shut down their stills in 2002 and with it, marked the end to "heavy" rum production in Trinidad. A long lost distillery with only a limited number of casks available? Now, that sounds like our kind of rum. A full flavoured and rare taste of history, this batch is rich in those nutty, sweet and smokey molasses.
Tasting notes
Nose
Almond, hazelnut and cocoa lead before cooked banana and almost an note of mince pies emerge. Oaky cigar box and floral vanilla add beautiful depth.
Taste
A thick and heavy palate carries notes of sweet tobacco, rich molasses and a little smoke against a buttery biscuit base. Full bodied spice fizzes away underneath with a little pineapple juice.
Finish
The molasses continue to simmer away in this supple finish

This 9-year-old rum is a true homage to Jamaican expertise and the unique craftsmanship of the French brand Compagnie des Indes. From a secret distillery, it was carefully selected by Florent Beuchet, the brand’s founder. Distilled in a pot still in July 2013 from molasses, this rum first aged 20% of its time under the tropical climate of Jamaica before being transferred to Europe to continue its maturation in ex-bourbon casks. Its meticulous aging process resulted in a rum rich in esters, well-balanced, and bursting with character. Produced in a limited edition, only a single cask was bottled, yielding 379 numbered bottles. Bottled without chill filtration in March 2023.
