product Details

Caroni 1967 Moon Import 20 Year Old / The Birds I

Moon Import was founded by Pepi Mongiardino in 1980 and he bottled his first whisky in 1982. Always beautifully labelled, Pepi is acclaimed for designing the packaging for Moon Import bottles himself, often using images found in old books. These iconic designs, coupled with the quality of the liquid saw Moon Import steadily grow in popularity. The company is still going strong, and their early releases are some of the brightest gems in any whisky collection.

This is a very rare 1967 vintage Caroni rum from the now lost distillery, bottled in the 1987 as part of the first Moon Import Birds series in 1987. The whisky in that series is legendary, and this is a rum worthy of the company.

Bottle number 177 of only 360 bottles.
