The Compagnie des Indes 2003 Guyana 14yo is an exquisite rum bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a 700ml format. This exceptional spirit hails from the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana and was meticulously crafted using the legendary Port Mourant still. Distilled in 2003 and aged for 14 years before its 2017 bottling, this single cask rum is a limited release with only 729 bottles available, making it a true gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Upon first nosing, the rum reveals a creamy, fruity, and subtly coppery aroma characteristic of the Port Mourant still. It's an expressive distillate with subtle wood influence, exuding ripe exotic fruits and cooked cherries nestled in almond powder. The bouquet is soft and velvety, leading to resinous pine notes and a hint of confit olive. The profile remains bright and very fruity, with nuances of green wood and liquorice. The integration of the alcohol is impeccable, and with aeration, the rum evolves to become more exotic and coppery, revealing fuller-bodied notes of leather and smoked meat. The liquorice becomes oily, blending with prunes and morello cherries, while sloe, blackcurrant, and blueberry add a refined touch of precision.
On the palate, the rum is sweet and fruity, featuring fresh exotic fruits. Gradually, it warms and introduces heavier notes such as leather and olive. A vegetal note emerges mid-palate, followed by a complex embrace of very toasted nuts and burnt caramel. The finish is characterized by metallic and slightly burnt/sulfured notes.
Florent Beuchet, the skilled embottler behind this rum, describes it as fresh and elegant on the nose, with aromas of white fruit, bitter almond, and herbaceous undertones. On the palate, it reveals creamy and lactic notes typical of the Port Mourant still, complemented by mint and white pepper. The finish is precise and spicy, leaving a lasting impression.
The Port Mourant still is a historic double wooden pot still renowned for producing rums with distinctive creamy, fruity, and subtly coppery aromas. Its unique construction and historical significance contribute to the exceptional quality of the rum.
Only 729 bottles of this limited-edition single cask rum were produced, making it a highly sought-after release for collectors and enthusiasts.
