- Caroni's 1998 vintage, selected as the fourth release in the Caroni Employees series honouring Dayanda Balloon, was curated from six casks by Luca Gargano and fellow enthusiasts in 2019. This 22-year-old rum develops rich dried fruit, warm spice, and complex floral notes with hints of cocoa and leather beneath. The high alcohol integrates smoothly, giving a velvety mouthfeel and persistent finish. Essential for Caroni devotees and those seeking mature Caribbean rum with depth.
