The Le Gus't 2002 Cuffy Demerara Rum is a superb 16-year-old rum with an impressive alcohol content of 66.9% ABV, presented in a 700ml bottle. This exquisite rum originates from the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana and is a limited edition with only 181 bottles produced. Distilled in 2002, it was carefully aged for 10 years in 10 casks before being transferred to a single cask and bottled in 2018.
This rum boasts a full-bodied and solid texture, featuring an intriguing balance of almond paste and diverse flavors, including olives, fresh spices like anise, resinous herbs such as rosemary, honeyed wood, and fruit eau-de-vie. Upon aeration, the rum maintains its dry, forthright character without being aggressive, showcasing a well-structured and tense profile despite its opulent aromas.
The decadent nose reveals rich, gourmet, and pastry-like qualities with notes of grilled rye bread, molasses, and dried figs complemented by a touch of spice. In contrast to the more potent and characteristic Caroni notes, this version is distinguished by its exclusive gourmet attributes. The aging process has crafted a complex and well-rounded flavor profile, making it an excellent choice for sipping neat or enhancing cocktails.
