Lot number: 071-2443

Winning bid: £145

L'Esprit was founded by Tristan Prodhomme in France, 2010 when he launched the Marque of L'Espirit. He has been attaining a single cask at a time and the collection is still quite modest. Buying casks from brokers rather than distilleries means that they are maturing in Europe.

Established in 1918, the Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago operated at near full capacity until 1993. Unfortunately, due to industry consolidation, the distillery closed in 2002, though casks are still making their way on to the market.
