This rum is unique due to its 22-year aging process, with 2 years in a tropical climate and 20 years in a continental climate. Additionally, it was distilled using the double wooden pot still from Port Mourant, which contributes to its distinctive flavor profile.
The rum features a complex blend of green apple, anise, cinnamon, floral notes, woody aromas, licorice, citrus, and bergamot. On the palate, it reveals sweetness balanced by slight bitterness, with flavors of anise, orange, black tea, vanilla, oak, licorice, and herbal notes.
"Karaya" means "moon" in the Tairo language, which is spoken by an Amerindian ethnic group related to the Arawaks. The name reflects the cultural heritage of the region where the rum was distilled.
The Tamosi 1998 Karaya Uitvlugt Port Mourant Demerara 22yo was selected and bottled by Levy Lane, known for their expertise in curating exceptional spirits.
This rum has an impressive ABV of 61.1%, bottled at cask strength to preserve its rich and complex flavors.
Overall: This rum offers a complex and well-balanced blend of classic Port Mourant flavors with nuanced floral, spicy, and herbal notes, making it a standout choice for rum enthusiasts.
