This is a legendary and sought-after collection of Caroni rum from the historic lost distillery on Trinidad. They were bottled and marketed by the Italian distributor Velier SpA and released between 2005 and 2019. The collection showcases the variety of production types at the distillery and includes heavy, light and blended rums, all bottled at various full and high proof strengths.

The 2015 releases were the first to begin stating the release number on the rear label with the series culminating with the 39th bottling in 2019 - a full proof heavy rum titled The Last Caroni. In addition to the earliest bottlings, other rarities in the series include a US market exclusive and a magnum size 1994 vintage limited to just 48 bottles.
