Compagnie des Indes 2005 Guyana 12yo 45% 700ml is a remarkable bottle hailing from the esteemed Port Mourant distillery in Guyana. This release, bottled by the renowned Compagnie des Indes in 2018, presents a unique and complex flavor profile that stands out among its peers. Limited to just 310 bottles, this 12-year-old rum, distilled in 2005, showcases the depth and richness characteristic of Port Mourant rums. On its own, the dilution to 45% ABV works well, making it an enjoyable and approachable Port Mourant. However, when compared to cask-strength bottlings, some reduction in complexity is noticeable. Despite this, the rum remains highly enjoyable, with a well-rounded and accessible flavor profile. The aroma is defined by tropical fruit, apricot, roasted nuts, and young wood, combined with hints of glue. The palate is treated to a spicy and fruity experience, featuring notes of honey, barrel, and mirabelle plum. The finish is woody and salty with lingering flavors of custard, dried apricot, and marshmallow, offering a multifaceted and satisfying conclusion. Reviewers have noted the balanced and enjoyable nature of this rum, praising its ability to stand out within the crowded landscape of Port Mourant releases. Despite the lower ABV, the Compagnie des Indes 2005 Guyana 12yo remains a solid and highly enjoyable offering, showcasing the quality and diversity of Port Mourant rums.
