“Perfectly balanced, complex Caroni rum; robust flavors, smooth 55% ABV.”

The Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR, distilled by Caroni in 1994 and bottled by Velier, offers an exceptional blend of tar, rubber, spice, and wood. Its aroma captivates with notes of roasted leather and subtle fruits.

Perfectly balanced between wood, spice, and a touch of sweetness, it stands out as a monumental, yet approachable, Caroni masterpiece. Ideal for those seeking a rich, nuanced experience.
