Meet the 36th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR, a shining example of masterful rum craftsmanship from the revered Caroni distillery in Trinidad. Selected and bottled by independent bottler Velier, this “Caroni 1994” vintage is the fruit of an exceptional molasses-based distillation. Aged to perfection for 23 years, with initial maturation in Trinidad until 2008 and further aging at DDL in Guyana until 2017, this rum has undergone a rare double maturation process that gives it a unique depth and complexity.
Prepare to be enveloped by the rich aroma of this exceptional rum, where notes of vanilla, tar, leather, and bicycle tube mingle with a subtle hint of tobacco. Each sip unveils deep, complex flavours of tar, bitterness, mint, wood, and the intriguing bicycle tube. This rum balances its powerful profile with tropical fruit undertones of mango and banana, enhanced by the warmth and richness imparted by the wooden casks.
With an impressively full-bodied palate and lingering finish, the 36th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR impresses with subtle hints of wood, spice, and a classic Caroni essence.

Serge Valentin, a renowned spirits critic, appreciated its complex flavour profile, giving it a remarkable 90/100 points. In his words: “It’s big, it’s oaky, but indeed I like it much, much better. Some kind of mentholy orange marmalade, fir honey, heavy liquorice, Corsican myrtle liqueur, Italian porcini powder, tar, crème de menthe… A rather perfect old Caroni that managed to keep all the heavy oak under control.”
