This exceptional bottle of rum, Cadenhead's 1972 Caribbean Distillers 29yo, is a true masterpiece. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in 2002 by the renowned Cadenhead's, this 29-year-old rum hails from the Caribbean Distillers Ltd in Guyana. With an impressive ABV of 60.9% and presented in a 700ml bottle, it is a rare gem that is highly sought after by connoisseurs. Its extraordinary balance and complexity make it one of the best offerings from Cadenhead's, surpassing even its 28-year-old sibling. Expect to find delightful notes of sweet vanilla and caramel, derived from the oak cask aging, along with subtle spices and fruits. Its rounded profile includes marzipan, vanilla, esters, and a hint of cinnamon, making it an uncharacteristic yet exceptional representation of Guyana rums. This bottle is a must-try for serious rum enthusiasts, although locating one might require some effort, possibly through specialized auctions.
This rum is known for its remarkable balance, complexity, and rich flavor profile, making it one of Cadenhead's finest offerings. Its long aging process and high ABV contribute to its unique characteristics.
Given its rarity, this rum is often available through auctions or specialized spirits retailers. It was bottled in 2002, so finding one may require some searching.

As a reviewer and rum enthusiast, I find Cadenhead's 1972 Caribbean Distillers 29yo to be an extraordinary example of a well-aged Guyana rum. Its intricate balance of flavors—including tropical and dark fruits, spices, and oak—delivers a compelling and memorable tasting journey. Highly recommended for those lucky enough to come across it.
