The S.B.S 2012 Guyana Albion is a powerful and unique rum from the renowned Single Barrel Selection series. This 10-year-old molasses rum hails from the Diamond Distillery in English Guyana and was produced using a Savalle 4-column still. The mark "AN" on the bottle pays homage to the historic Albion plantation and distillery, where this still originally came from. Although the Albion distillery ceased operations in 1968, the still has been preserved and continues to be used at the Diamond Distillery. Distilled in 2012 and aged in an ex-bourbon barrel until May 2022, this rum was carefully bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits in Denmark. Only 231 bottles were derived from this single cask, and they were bottled raw and without cold filtration, ensuring an authentic and unadulterated experience. The rum reveals an aromatic profile with notes of peppery oak, manuka honey, pineapple, papaya, and ginger. The palate is greeted with flavors of dark chocolate truffles, fiery ginger, dried mango, and vanilla. This is a rare opportunity to taste a piece of Guyana's rich rum history, embodied in this powerful and complex spirit.
This rum is produced using the historic Savalle 4-column still from the Albion distillery, which was closed in 1968. The limited release of only 231 bottles ensures its exclusivity.

No, this rum is bottled raw and without cold filtration to maintain its authentic flavor profile.
The reviewers have praised the rum's robust mix of flavors but noted that the alcohol integration could be better. Some find the nose subtle and the palate surprisingly sweet with notes of toffee and raisins. The rum is also recognized for its tropical fruit notes, wood, and slight caramel hints. However, there are mixed feelings about its youth and potential, indicating it could benefit from further maturation. Overall, it is appreciated for its complexity and the unique experience it offers, although some feel it falls short of its potential.
