Distilled in November 1988 at the historic Enmore Distillery in Guyana, the Compagnie des Indes 1988 Guyana 29yo is a standout in the world of premium rums. This exceptionally rare bottle, released by Compagnie des Indes, boasts a limited run of just 237 bottles, making it a coveted addition to any collection. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 48%, this rum has been bottled at cask strength, retaining all its full-bodied character and intricate flavors without dilution. From the very first whiff, the aroma is strikingly atypical of a Guyanese rum, presenting notes of burnt molasses and fortified wine, intertwined with the sweetness of loquat jam and currants, and uplifted by a touch of Islay's iodine breeze. The initial sip delivers an explosion of flavors, bringing forward toasted bread and a velvety sensation that envelops the palate, accompanied by ripe banana, prunes, and Jamaican naseberry. Finishing on a delicate and smooth note, the aftertaste is graced with hints of fruit soaked in alcohol, scattered over iced coupes. The color gleams a vivid gold, heralding the aromatic journey of elegant and fruity scents of peach, mango, and pear, with delightful hints of vanilla, cookie dough, wood, licorice, straw, and spices. On the palate, it is sweet and mild, transforming into a creamy texture with a burst of fruitiness akin to pear schnapps, enriched with vanilla and sandalwood, culminating in a pleasing spiciness. The medium-length finish leaves a lasting impression of vanilla and oak, dry and spicy. Reviewers have noted the intense and complex nature of this rum, with spices, smokiness, and a bit of sharpness lingering in the finish. It showcases an interesting shift from the fruity and lovely initial impression to a more bold and spicy profile on the palate. Overall, this rum has been highly regarded, with its richness and depth earning high praise, making it a must-have for connoisseurs and collectors.
This rum is unique due to its long aging process of 29 years, its origin from the historic Enmore Distillery, and its limited release of only 237 bottles. Additionally, it has been bottled at cask strength, preserving its full range of flavors.
