Discover a piece of rum history with Perennia, the first-ever Caroni release by an American independent bottler. Distilled in 1997 at the legendary Caroni Distillery—Trinidad’s most iconic and now-lost rum producer—this single cask bottling spent 12 years maturing under the Caribbean sun before traveling to the UK for an additional 15 years of aging. Bottled in 2025 at a cask strength of 58% ABV, this 27-year-old rum represents one of the rarest and most sought-after spirits available today.
Unlike the famously “super heavy” Caronis known for bold notes of burnt rubber, diesel, and leather, Perennia was hand-selected for balance and elegance. Expect an intricate interplay of luscious tropical fruits, rich dark caramel, and fragrant tobacco, all layered over Caroni’s trademark industrial backbone. It’s a sensory journey that pays tribute to the distillery’s enduring cult status while offering a refined take on its legendary profile.
Crafted from molasses in a column still with no additives, this limited single cask release embodies authenticity and heritage. Original photography by Sheldon Hosten and label art by Razigla elevate the presentation, making this a collector’s treasure as well as a connoisseur’s pour. Adding water might be blasphemous—but the complexity invites exploration.
As part of Raising Glasses’ commitment to community, 5% of profits from Perennia will be donated to the Trinidad and Tobago Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
