The S.B.S Guyana is a limited release rum with a 62.8% ABV, produced in Guyana at the renowned Diamond Distillery. Selected and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits, this exquisite rum was distilled in 2003 from molasses using a Single Wooden Pot Still. It was then aged for over 12 years, resulting in a robust and complex spirit. Notably, the rum was not reduced or filtered before its 2016 bottling, preserving its authentic essence. With only 264 bottles available, each 700ml bottle of this cask strength rum represents a rare and unique offering for connoisseurs.
Upon the first sniff, the rum reveals a light and airy bouquet with notes of powder, copper, roasted nuts, grilled fruits, and stewed prunes. A subtle vegetal aroma of resinous rosemary adds an intriguing layer. The palate is powerful yet balanced, showcasing a medley of flavors including prunes, anise, fennel, caraway, licorice, and roasted wood. The finish is long and vegetal, marked by hints of curry and raisins. This harmonious blend of woody, roasted, licorice, coffee, and dried fruit flavors makes this rum a standout cask strength spirit. While some users note a slight overpowering sweetness in the nose, overall, it is celebrated for its dry charm and distinctive character.
