The Bristol Classic 1988 Demerara 12yo 46% 700ml rum is a rare gem distilled in Guyana's Enmore Distillery and aged for 12 years in the UK before being bottled in 2000. This exclusive offering, with only 648 bottles produced, is a true representation of the Port Mourant still's unique flavor profile and quality. The rum is presented in a black bottle, symbolizing its age and exclusivity. The aroma of the Bristol Classic 1988 Demerara 12yo rum features notes of old damp wood, dried fruits, anise, herbs, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of anise, herbs, dried fruits, and a lingering finish of damp wood and a touch of bitterness. The rum is not overly woody but rather showcases the distinctive character of the Pot Still distillation process. In comparison, the Bristol Classic 1999 Demerara 12yo rum, finished in Port wine barrels, offers a more approachable profile with notes of grape, anise, dried fruits, and a hint of dark chocolate. This rum has a slightly sweeter note due to the Port wine finish. Both rums are dry in nature, with the 1988 expression being more traditional and the 1999 bottling offering a modern twist with the Port finish. Overall, both rums are highly recommended for their unique flavor profiles and value for money.
