Akevitt Caroni Single Cask

Using rum barrels to age aquavit is unique, but when we release our first rum barrel aged akevitt, it comes from a truly unique barrel. Caroni may not be a name that says a lot to most people, but in the rum world this is the most sought-after distillery there is. Though there are no more. In 2002, the Trinidad distillery was closed and demolished. The few barrels that were left have subsequently achieved a legendary status and are highlu south after by collectors. One of the very last barrels that was emptied, Oslo Håndverksdestilleri got hold of and aged akevitt in from June 2018 to December 2019. This is not only a unique barrel to be able to use for aquavit, but also unique in the whole spirits world. Caroni is known for its unique aroma that is difficult to describe. If you try, it will be a mixture of petroleum and flowers and you can really taste this influence on the aquavit.
