Trinidad’s Great Lost Distillery Caroni Distillery, once a crown jewel of Trinidad’s
rum production, holds a legacy that transcends its physical existence. Established in the early 20th century, the fate of Caroni was sealed in 2001 when the Trinidad Government sold a significant stake in Rum Distillers Limited, the entity overseeing Caroni. Despite protests, the distillery ceased operations in 2003, marking the end of an era in Trinidad’s rum history.


The closure of Caroni Distillery didn’t diminish its allure, but as is so often the case, amplified the mystique surrounding its rums. The rums distilled at Caroni continue to be some of the most highly sought after in the world, making regular appearances at rare spirits auctions and private collections - a testament to the enduring legacy of Caroni.
