The 1997 Caroni by Samaroliis much more than just a rum. It is a fragment of Trinidad and Tobago's history, from the famous Caroni distillery, now defunct. Distilled in a column still from molasses and resting for 13 years in Trinidad in an American oak cask that once contained bourbon, this rum reveals a fascinating complexity. With only limited bottles available, it is a collector's item that is as valuable as it is exquisite. Its aromatic richness is both a testament to its heritage and an invitation to taste. Don't miss this chance to savor a liquid legend.
Our orchestra which is always open to new talent has identified a new great soloist. It reaches us from 1997 and it is a Caroni rum -one of the last. You all know the story of course. Or actually, youwill have heard of it: the madness of a government dismantling its own distillery, the lost barrels found full of a rum like very few others in the world, able to speak to a niche of chosen few.
We say: we prefer legends when they become concrete reality. And therefore, in our Caroni we detect a powerful and slightly disquieting opening of hydrocarbons, but immediately after a more delicate dose of rubber and black fruit. Then coffee, forest wood and a good length of black pepper. A lively mouth, one much more alive than what the nose had given prelude to. There is milk chocolate, coconut, dates, menthol.
Distilled: 1997
Bottled: 2023
Selected Cask No.: 77

Background:
Founded in 1968 in Rome, Italy, Samaroli was an importer for the first decade of its existence. During the 1980s Samaroli began to source more individual releases of whisky directly from Cadenhead's and as the years went by most of the bottlings were at cask strength. Silvan Samaroli ran his independent bottling business for decades before being taken over by Antonio Bleve in 2008, however, Silvan maintained an active role in the company up until his death in February 2017. Today, Samaroli bottlings are still hugely sought after by whisky enthusiasts worldwide. “Whether you’re a beginner or an aficionado, having a bottle of Samaroli in your hand will almost certainly open your senses, mind and spirit." Samaroli is one of the earliest independent bottlers and the most famous and influential Italian importers of their time.
