Indulge in the exquisite complexity of James MacArthur's 1990 Versailles Guyana Port Morant Fine Rum Selection. This 700ml bottle, boasting an ABV of 50%, hails from the renowned Versailles Distillery in Guyana, bottled by the esteemed James MacArthur brand. Though the exact age and bottling date remain a mystery, it is believed to be bottled around 2010, making it a highly sought-after gem among rum enthusiasts. On the nose, the rum presents a pleasant spicy aroma with fresh, resinous undertones. Honey is the first note to greet you, followed by fruity hints of pear and subtly sulfured dried apricots. The profile then evolves to reveal slightly woody notes, more cherry than oak, complemented by vanilla and a very nice, balanced fragrance. The palate is equally intriguing with a dominant spicy, tart note. You'll experience a symphony of flavors including bitter, toasty, woody, and leathery notes. There’s also a resinous pungency and a dry hint of cardamom powder, with a whisper of dried dates adding a fruity touch. It's a very round and unusually nutty Port Morant, with nuances of roasted pine nuts and pesto genovese, accompanied by tree resin. The finish is a complex mix of herbal, spicy, bitter, and nutty notes, leading to lingering hints of tea and roasted flavors. This rum offers a harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and woody flavors, with a lingering finish that showcases its depth and complexity.
