Crafted in 2005 by the esteemed Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana and bottled by Compagnie des Indes, this exceptional 12-year-old rum is a true testament to quality and craftsmanship. With only 324 bottles produced, this limited edition rum offers an exclusive tasting experience for aficionados. Bottled at 43% ABV and presented in a 700ml format, it boasts a complex and multifaceted flavor profile that is both intriguing and satisfying.
The aroma is marked by rich notes of raisin, vanilla, yellow fruits, molasses, and a hint of metallic. On the palate, it is astringent and sour with distinct notes of yellow fruits, blackberry, and mineral undertones. The finish is long and layered, characterized by vanilla, fruity grapes, barrel nuances, and a nutty essence. Despite its interesting Madeira finish, some find it lacks a bit in alcohol strength, and the Guyana rum itself may be overshadowed. Nonetheless, this rum provides an intricate balance of tropical fruit, sweetness, and a touch of spiciness.
