Cadenhead's 2003 Cask Strength MPM 14yo 59.1% 700ml is a distinguished single cask rum from the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana, home of the historic Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still. This 14-year-old rum, distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2017 as part of Cadenhead's celebrated Cask Strength Rum series, comes in an impressive presentation box. The legacy of Cadenhead's dates back to 1842 when George Duncan founded a wine merchant and distillery agency in Aberdeen.

This rum, boasting a robust ABV of 59.1%, captures the essence of Cadenhead’s rich heritage and commitment to quality.
