Caroni 1998 High Proof 16 Year Old Heavy
Distilled in 1998, this was matured in Trinidad for 16 years and bottled in Scotland at Benriach distillery. This is the 33rd Velier release, the one that prompted a string of packaging typos on the "34rd" and several other subsequent releases.
An example of HTR style rum, this was distilled on the Indian mash column still at Caroni.
