The Balvenie 27 Year Old A Rare Discovery From Distant Shores
This story begins when the Balvenie Malt Master David C. Stewart’s long-time friend, who knew he had found something special when he brought samples of Caroni Rum to David. David and the team recognised this too and, in 2014, to move some 20-year-old Balvenie from its traditional American oak Hogs Head casks into Caroni Rum casks. The result was a rum finish unlike any other. The additional 7 years spent maturing in the ex-Caroni rum casks changed and enhanced the whisky’s flavour profile into something truly extraordinary.
The Caroni Distillery
The Caroni distillery was established in 1923. It became part of the Tate & Lyle firm in 1936. Caroni was a key ingredient of the British Navy rations, where its famous high-ester ‘Heavy’ rums helped to make up the signature flavour. Sadly, with the decline of the Trinidadian sugar industry, Tate & Lyle sold a controlling stake to the government, before it became fully nationalised in 1975. Despite being self-sufficient, the newly established Caroni Ltd continued to lose money for the next 25 years until the government tried to minimise its ownership, selling off 49% of its share. Angostura were the preferred bidders, but a dispute over the value of Caroni’s warehoused stock scuppered the deal, and Caroni was closed for good in 2003.
