The S.B.S Guyana is a distinctive and limited-edition rum produced at the historic Uitvlugt (Port Mourant) distillery in Guyana and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits. Distilled in 1998 from molasses using a pot still and aged for 19 years, this rum boasts an impressive ABV of 62.4%. It is a true gem for rum connoisseurs, with only 157 bottles available, making it a unique and sophisticated choice in any collection.
Upon opening, this rum reveals an intricate aroma profile that evolves over time. Initially, you might notice dry, sulfuric, and metallic notes, which require some time to breathe. With aeration, the scent becomes herbaceous and peppery, enriched with nuances of pencil shavings, toasted wood, grilled nuts, and traces of molasses.
The palate offers a full-bodied experience, starting with a distinctive green, wet woodiness and developing into a drying pepper and nut character. Red fruit tannins reminiscent of a dry port or sherry cask add depth, and with more air, warmer, fruitier notes of exotic fruits and a hint of resinous, confit vegetal notes emerge.
The finish is long-lasting, with a harmonious blend of toasted wood, prunes, and dried stone fruits, accompanied by a hint of tisane or dried herbs. This rum's complexity is further enhanced by an additional 7 months spent maturing in a Spanish Oloroso sherry cask from Montilla Moriles, Andalusia, adding to its depth and character.
Overall, the S.B.S Guyana is an intense, complex, and dry rum, offering an aromatic palate with notes of sherry, wood, spices, and fruits. While some may find the sherry influence to be overpowering, it remains a remarkable and sophisticated rum worth exploring for any serious rum enthusiast.

This rum offers a highly nuanced and multifaceted experience, blending tropical fruitiness with intense spice and a hint of sweetness.
The aroma brings a distinctive glue scent, which some might find unpleasant but others adore. It also features wood, tropical fruits, and spices. With the sherry finish, the nose transforms into a mix of cherries, berries, and herbaceous notes, making it unconventional for a Port Mourant but highly enjoyable.
On the palate, the rum is dry but intense and brilliant, much more complex than the nose suggests. It showcases notes of licorice, solvents, wood, red fruits, citrus, almond, and vanilla.
The sherry influence is strong, with flavors of cherry, plum, and intense raisin, slightly woody with vanilla and a sweetness akin to maple syrup. The palate also features tart, spicy notes with leather and caramel sweetness, prune, and sour cherry.
Many reviewers appreciate its intense, fruity, and spicy character, though some feel the sherry influence is too dominant. The finish is described as long and warm, with lingering spices and oak, although a strong sulfur note may detract from the overall charm for some.
