Silver Seal's independent bottling presents a truly exceptional rum distilled at the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana in 2003. This single cask rum (cask #37) was carefully bottled in Scotland in 2016, over 12 years after its original distillation. The Diamond Distillery is celebrated for its use of traditional wooden stills, which impart a distinct and complex flavor profile to its rums. Upon nosing this Silver Seal rum, one is greeted with a woody aroma, interspersed with notes of pepper, prunes, tobacco, and a subtle hint of olive. The palate is delightfully smooth, offering flavors of rich chocolate and zesty citrus fruits. The finish is long-lasting, characterized by toasted flavors with hints of pomegranate and orange. As a special bottling from the Demerara region, this rum exemplifies the rich, full-bodied nature for which the distillery is famous. Limited to just 255 bottles, this release stands out for its exclusivity. The rum has matured for 12 years, which has allowed it to develop a deep, complex flavor profile and a smooth finish. Its rich amber color is a testament to its prolonged aging, and it is bottled at 46% ABV, making it perfect for both sipping neat and mixing in cocktails. Overall, the Silver Seal 2003 Demerara Special Bottling is a must-try for any rum enthusiast. Its unique flavor profile, limited availability, and long aging process make it a standout in the world of rum.
