Distilled at Demerara Distillers in Guyana, this expression is crafted from molasses using column stills, including distillate from the historic Enmore Wooden Coffey Still. The rum is aged for a minimum of eight years in ex-bourbon casks under the tropical heat of Guyana before being bottled at 40% ABV.
Nose: Warm caramel and dried fruit open with light oak and a hint of smoke, subtly inviting rather than overpowering.
Palate: Medium-bodied with notes of toffee, vanilla, and a touch of spice, balanced by that distinctive light smokiness that adds complexity without turning sharp.
Finish: Clean and moderately long, with lingering oak and a pleasant warmth that never crosses into harsh territory.
Enjoy this rum neat to appreciate its layered character, or pour it over ice for a more approachable sip. It excels in an Old Fashioned or a Dark and Stormy, where the smoky undertones complement bitters and ginger beautifully.
A reliable choice for home bartenders building a versatile rum collection and anyone seeking authentic Caribbean flavour at an accessible price point in New Zealand.
