Caroni Tasting Gang (SOLD OUT)
The 23-year-old Caroni "Tasting Gang" comes from one of the world's most sought-after cult distilleries.
Caroni's "Tasting Gang" 23 Years Old comes from one of the world's most sought-after cult distilleries. The rum is stored in Trinidad from distillation in 1996 and until 2008, after which it was moved to Guyana. The name refers to the small crowd of hardcore Caroni nerds, who together with rom guru Luca Gargano selected the 22 dishes (a mixture of "Heavy" and "Light" Caroni) that are included in the final blend of the bottling. Of course, tapped at dish strength (63.5%).

The sound of the name "Velier" gives a very special feeling to the rum nerds. Time and again, masterminded behind the company, Luca Gargano, manages to shock and enrich the space world with releases that set new standards of quality, transparency and nerdy. Velier's reputation for exceptional quality was already cemented in the '00s with a string of uncompromising demerara rum.
These bottles are today the culmination of coal space and are changing owners for astronomical sums at liquor auctions worldwide. Later, the company has become known for tropical stored Caroni, a distinctive rum from a now closed distillery in Trinidad, with notes of smoke, tar and bacon. An “acquired taste”, but once you have it…
Along with Foursquare's Richard Seale, Luca is a staunch (and loud) opponent of additives or cheats with age designations, which is why Velier's newest series of rum, Habitacion Velier, puts transparency at the forefront. The label proudly exposes every detail of the production, from angel's share to ester content.
