Caroni 1996 25y Mahesh (Caroni Employees)
Only 3 left in stock!
Caroni 1996 25y Mahesh is a Trinidad molasses rum with a very deliberate sense of weight and rarity. Distilled in 1996, aged for 25 years and bottled at cask strength at 64.6%, it comes from Traditional Column distillation and matured in a bourbon barrel.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of rum we would place in front of someone looking for a limited, serious bottle rather than a soft, sweetness-led style. With 689 bottles released, collector status and the indication that these are among the last bottles, its scarcity is part of the story.
The profile points toward wood, spice and fruit as the main pillars, with lighter floral and vegetal touches in the background. The high strength and long maturation give it a firm, mature presence, making it a (…)Caroni 1996 25y Ricky (Caroni Employees)

Caroni 1996 25y Ricky (Caroni Employees)
In stock
Caroni 1996 25y Ricky is a Trinidad rum with a very clear sense of presence. Distilled in 1996, aged for 25 years and bottled at a cask strength of 66.2%, it is the kind of rum that speaks in a firm, uncompromising voice.
The bourbon barrel maturation and traditional column distillation give this release its structure, while the production of just 630 bottles adds a real sense of rarity. With only the last bottles remaining, it holds a distinctive place in the rum selection at Drankenshop Broekmans, especially for those looking for a notable Caroni bottling rather than a standard everyday pour.
Its profile is led by pronounced spice, with fruit and vegetal notes also playing an important role. Oak is present, but more as support than as the main theme. (…)Caroni 1998 25y Rum Sponge (Caroni Employees)

Caroni 1998 25y Rum Sponge (Caroni Employees)
In stock
Caroni 1998 25y Rum Sponge is built around a very focused idea: one cask, one vintage and 25 years of maturation. Distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2023, this Trinidad rum was released in a run of just 243 bottles.
At 61.3% and bottled at cask strength, it stays close to the individual cask rather than presenting a softened or standardised version of the spirit. That is the appeal here: a long-aged rum captured from a single cask, with its own particular place in time.
For Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle that adds depth to a specialist rum selection: limited, distinctive and clearly aimed at drinkers who value scarcity and provenance. The fact that these are the last bottles, and that the release is marked as a collector's item, only (…)Caroni 21y (Velier)

Caroni 21y (Velier)
In stock
Caroni 21y is a Trinidad molasses rum with a very clear identity: distilled in February 1996, matured for 21 years and bottled at cask strength. At 57.18% ABV, it keeps close to the strength and presence of the cask rather than presenting itself as a softened style.
The use of pot still and column distillation adds another layer to its story. Maturation in a bourbon barrel brings a restrained wood influence, while the main point of interest remains its age, Trinidad origin and full-strength bottling.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would take a moment to explain properly. Its collector's item status and the fact that these are the last bottles underline the scarcity of this 21-year-old Caroni release.

Caroni 23y 1994 Guyana (Velier)
In stock
Caroni 23y 1994 Guyana is the kind of rum that asks for attention before it is even poured. A 1994 distillation, 23 years of age and bottling at 57.18% cask strength place it firmly in a more serious, concentrated style of molasses rum.
It was distilled using pot still and column still methods, then matured in a bourbon barrel. The supplied profile points towards a rum where wood, spice and vegetal tones carry much of the expression, with fruit and floral notes playing a lighter role. It is not presented as a soft, sweet style, but as a mature rum with structure and force.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this Caroni is treated as a noteworthy bottle because several meaningful elements come together: age, vintage, cask strength and the fact that only the last (…)Caroni Paradise 1994 #3 (Velier) Incl. Box

Caroni Paradise 1994 #3 (Velier) Incl. Box
Very last one in stock!
Caroni Paradise 1994 #3 is a Trinidad rum built around precision and scarcity: one cask, one vintage, one very small release. Distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2023, it spent 29 years maturing in a bourbon barrel before being bottled at 52.8%.
Only 215 bottles were drawn from this single cask, giving the rum a very specific identity. Rather than presenting a broad house style, it captures the character of one individual barrel after long maturation. Its collector's item status follows naturally from that limited scale and clearly defined origin.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this Velier bottling sits among the rums we would point out to customers interested in mature, rare molasses rum with a strong cask-driven personality. Wood and spice form the main structure, (…)Caroni Paradise 1996 #4 (Velier) Incl. Box

Caroni Paradise 1996 #4 (Velier) Incl. Box
Very last one in stock!
Caroni Paradise 1996 #4 is a Trinidad rum where the main story is time, strength and scarcity. Bottled by Velier, it was distilled from molasses in 1996 and bottled in 2023 after 27 years of ageing. Rather than coming from a broad batch, it was drawn from a single bourbon barrel, giving this release a very specific cask identity.
Only 215 bottles were produced, and it was bottled at cask strength at 68.1% ABV. That makes it a rum with real presence, aimed at drinkers who appreciate the individuality of a single cask and the directness of a high-strength bottling. At Drankenshop Broekmans, releases like this stand out because they bring together provenance, age and limited availability in a very tangible way.
The supplied flavour profile points towards a (…)
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about our loyalty programme
What exactly does Broekmans' loyalty programme entail?
You can earn one or more loyalty tokens on almost every bottle you buy on our webshop or in our shop. The number of loyalty tokens you can earn with a bottle is stated unambiguously with the article itself: there are articles for which you don't get any tokens, there are products for which you can only earn a few tokens and there are products for which you can earn a lot of tokens. The price of the product is not decisive here, but you can of course always compare the number of tokens to be earned against the price so that you can save as many tokens as possible by spending as little as possible.
I have saved loyalty tokens, what can I do with them?
The tokens you save with your purchases can be used to get your own personal access to a unique selection of rare bottlings that are in high demand and not readily available to other customers who have not yet saved enough tokens. The number of tokens you need to deploy to gain access to a particular bottling is listed with the loyalty product. The number of tokens required is usually linked to the rarity of the product, its interest in the market and its popularity among bottle flippers.
Why do you operate such a programme?
Our industry has suffered from so-called bottle flippers for years. These are usually speculators who have no specific love or predilection for our products, but take advantage of opportunities by buying up rare bottles cheaply and reselling them at multiple prices. As a result, true lovers of these products invariably pay far too high a price for these unique bottles.
The loyalty programme also allows us to offer and distribute rare limited releases in a fair and transparent way at the original price, without falling into obscure rules or favouritism. Every Broekmans customer fights with equal weapons for these rare bottlings and knows right from the start where they stand and what is required to be able to purchase a particular limited release.
In this way, we try to ensure that the real spirits lovers and collectors can be the first to get access to these unique releases, at least if they consistently choose Drankenshop Broekmans.
Can I buy the products in the loyalty programme without tokens?
No, we do not make any exceptions to this. If a product is included in our loyalty programme, it can only be purchased subject to the use of the required number of loyalty tokens. In this way, we maintain the trust and credibility of our loyalty programme.
Who can participate in the loyalty programme?
Private customers automatically participate in the loyalty programme. Corporate customers are admitted to the programme only after approval. Professionals active in our sector (competitor liquor stores etc) are not admitted to the programme because they would have an unfair advantage over private customers due to the nature of their business and the volume they might purchase from us.
How long will my loyalty tokens remain valid?
Your saved tokens remain valid indefinitely. They disappear from your balance as soon as you use them to purchase a loyalty product. Each token can only be used once.
Do I still have to pay for the loyalty products in the programme?
Yes, the posted price must always be paid: the products in the loyalty programme are not offered for free. By using the tokens, you only obtain the possibility of purchasing the product at the posted price.
I don't have enough tokens to buy a product yet, what should I do?
If you don't yet have enough points to buy a loyalty product, you can opt to order an extra item to make up the points deficit. The order is important here: you first add the extra products with which you earn extra tokens, and then you can add the loyalty product you want to use those points on in the same shopping basket. So you don't have to place and checkout separate orders for this, all that matters is that your balance does not become negative at the end of your order.
Can I transfer my points to another account?
You yourself cannot give away your points to another customer account. If you are in a specific situation and would like to transfer your points to another account, you can contact our customer service by e-mail. It is important that your request to transfer points is sent from the e-mail address that owns the tokens.
Why is this a fair system for limited editions?
We didn't take any chances and built a loyalty programme that we personally support and that we think is fair to the enthusiast.
- It's fairer than a lottery, because with us you don't depend on dumb luck to get those beautiful exclusive bottles into your home. It is enough to consistently shop with us to be at the front of the queue at all the exclusives. Moreover, organising a lottery is prohibited by law.
- It is fair for any budget, as the number of tokens is not primarily determined by the price of the bottles. More important than the amounts you spend with us are the products you buy from us. Anyone who is a bit clever and buys the right bottles from us can quickly accumulate a lot of tokens even on a limited budget.
- It's fair for the private individual, because B2B customers active in our industry (wholesalers, liquor stores, hospitality industry, ...) are excluded from the loyalty programme by default, because they trade in larger volumes due to their trading activities and could therefore unfairly accumulate tokens much faster than the private enthusiast for whom we put all this effort.
- It's fair to the aficionado, because the special and exclusive bottlings that are so sought after by speculators and investors typically yield little to no tokens. In other words, if you as an enthusiast buy your favourite spirits from Broekmans, you are at an undeniable advantage.
I previously placed a guest order, can I still claim the tokens for this order?
Yes, this happens automatically if you later create a customer account with the same mail address you previously placed your guest order with.
What are token packers?
Token packs are the products on our webshop for which you can earn the most tokens per euro spent. In other words, they are the best choice if you want to quickly increase your token balance or close a (small) deficit.
Where can I buy limited edition spirits and possibly have them delivered to my home?
If you are looking for a good and reliable place to buy the tastiest limited edition spirits and possibly have them delivered to your home, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place for you. With over 35 years of experience, we offer you the best spirits at the best price, and thanks to our large in-house stock, you will usually receive your order the very next day.
