The Duchess 1993 Guyana 27yo 50.1% 700ml is a remarkable rum bottled by The Duchess, a Dutch independent bottler renowned for their exquisite selection of rums from various countries and distilleries. This exceptional offering hails from the historic Uitvlugt Distillery in Guyana, which was founded between 1759 and 1776 and now belongs to Demerara Distillers Limited. Distilled in 1993 using the famous Savalle column still and aged for 27 years, this rum is bottled at a cask strength of 50.1% ABV.
On the nose, this aged rum reveals a complex bouquet of peppery notes, mocha, honey, dried fruit, and cinnamon. The palate is rich and creamy with layers of peppery spice, mocha, roasted chocolate, tobacco, oak, and a hint of oily texture. The finish is tannic and warm, with lingering flavors of roasted chocolate, bitterness, and woody undertones. This rum combines a subtle fruity and honey-like sweetness with well-integrated alcohol that offers peppery heat without a burn, complemented by notes of coffee and dark bitter chocolate.
Reviewers have noted the similarity of this rum to Plantation Jamaica Clarendon MMW Vintage 2007, finding it fruity with a hint of tobacco and spices, making it delightfully easy to sip.

It has also been compared to a Scotch whisky by some due to its malty character, a testament to its unique profile. This rum is a rare gem from a historical distillery, making it a worthy addition to any connoisseur's collection.
