Velier Caroni 1998 Employees Edition 2nd Release Kevon Slippery Moreno Velier 21yo 69.5% 700ml information

The Velier Caroni 1998 Employees Edition 2nd Release Kevon Slippery Moreno is a remarkable 21-year-old "Heavy Rum" from the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad. Distilled in 1998 and aged for over two decades in ex-bourbon casks, this rum is a tribute to Kevon "Slippery" Moreno, an employee who dedicated 10 years of his life to the distillery before its closure in 2004. This bottling is part of Velier's Caroni Employees series, which celebrates the unsung heroes of this legendary distillery.

The rum was distilled using a cast iron column still and aged in Trinidad's tropical climate before being transported to Europe in 2019 for bottling. Bottled at a cask strength of 69.5% ABV, this rum is unadulterated and offers an authentic expression of Caroni's distinctive heavy style. On the nose, it presents a captivating array of sweet and fruity aromas, including vanilla, caramel, citrus peel, and exotic fruits, alongside intriguing undertones of petroleum jelly. The palate is rich and complex, revealing notes of brown sugar, buttery pastry, speculoos, and root ginger. The finish lingers with hints of wild flowers and oak spice.

Caroni distillery, established in 1918, was located in the heart of Trinidad's Caroni plains and was known for its unique heavy rum style. The distillery had its own sugar plant and initially used a cast iron pot still before transitioning to a single column still. After the distillery's closure, Italian rum enthusiast Luca Gargano discovered a treasure trove of Caroni barrels and acquired them, eventually releasing this limited edition bottling as a homage to the distillery's dedicated employees.

With only 1,400 bottles available worldwide, the Velier Caroni 1998 Employees Edition 2nd Release Kevon Slippery Moreno is a collector's item that showcases the rich history and exceptional craftsmanship of the Caroni distillery.
