The Bristol Classic 1990 Demerara 25yo 46% 700ml is an extraordinary rum, distilled in 1990 using the historic Port Mourant wooden still, one of the oldest stills in the world with over 250 years of history. Though the Port Mourant distillery has since closed, the still was preserved and transferred to the Diamond distillery. This exceptional rum was aged for 15 years in bourbon casks and an additional 10 years in Oloroso sherry casks before being bottled in 2015 by Bristol Classic Rum in Bristol, England.
The rum is produced in Guyana at the Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) distillery and is bottled by the esteemed independent bottler Bristol Classic Rum. Distilled from molasses using a double wooden pot still, this 25-year-old rum boasts an ABV of 46%. It has garnered praise for its intricate and layered aromas, with tasters noting a captivating nose comprising vanilla, wood, port, fruit, and leather notes. The flavor profile is equally complex, featuring woody, sweet, herbal, bitter, and anise elements that contribute to its unique character. Although some found it slightly diluted on the palate, it retains a certain strength despite the reduction.
Bristol's own tasting notes highlight an intense fruitiness with a hint of aniseed and a touch of sweetness. The rum is described as having a very long finish, making it one of the finest offerings in their range. The finishing in ex-Oloroso casks perfectly mellows the potency of the Port Morant rum.
