The Rum Cask 2008 Guyana MPM 12yo 60.3% 500ml is a unique bottling that combines a young Port Mourant with a Hampden finish. Distilled in 2008 at the historic Port Mourant distillery in Guyana and bottled in 2021, this rum showcases the best of both worlds—Guyana's rich heritage and Jamaica's funky character. On the nose, you'll find an intriguing blend of estery notes, tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, and a hint of citrus and spice. The palate is equally complex, featuring exotic fruits, vanilla, candied apples, and a touch of smokiness and saltiness. The finish lingers with spicy, fruity, and tropical notes, leaving a lasting impression. The Rum Cask is renowned for its innovative finishes, and this 12-year-old expression is no exception. The Hampden finish adds an additional layer of complexity, bringing forth the unmistakable Jamaican funk while allowing the Guyana genes to shine through. While some might find the Hampden finish dominant, it provides a unique twist that makes this rum a fascinating experience for aficionados and newcomers alike. Produced by the Demarara Distillers Limited (DDL) in Guyana, the last remaining distillery in the country, this rum is a testament to the rich history and diverse range of rum styles that DDL offers. Using traditional wooden stills, such as the Double Wood Vat Still at Port Mourant, adds to the unique profile of this exceptional rum.
