The Wild Parrot 1999 Guyana Collection New Vibrations is a 23-year-old rum that embodies a rich history and exceptional craftsmanship. This limited edition rum, with only 168 bottles produced, showcases the unique double maturation process that defines its character. Initially aged in the tropical climate of Guyana from 1999 to 2002, the rum was subsequently transferred to the United Kingdom, where it continued to mature in a cooler, continental climate until 2023. This careful aging process has cultivated a complex flavor profile, balancing empirical, exotic, and vegetal notes while preserving its youthful freshness.
The bouquet is intricate and well-developed, featuring tropical notes of banana and pineapple, fibery hints of sugarcane, and spicy accents of ginger and nutmeg. As the aroma unfolds, it reveals floral undertones of beeswax and white flowers, along with earthy and vetiver notes. On the palate, this rum is lively yet smooth, offering the zest of citrus fruits, grated ginger, and fresh sugarcane juice. The vegetal mid-palate transports you to the sugarcane harvest season, with fragrant reed flowers filling the air.
The finish is long and balanced, beginning with a pleasant saltiness that transitions to delicate flavors of vanilla, spice, and exotic fruits like ananas and kaffir lime. The conclusion reverts to woody and bitter notes, such as cinchona and gentian. This 1999 vintage promises an unforgettable sensory experience, merging empyreumatic, exotic, and youthful freshness, making it a must-try for any rum connoisseur.
The double maturation process involves aging the rum in two different climates - initially in the tropical climate of Guyana and then in the cooler continental climate of the UK. This process adds complexity and depth to the rum's flavor profile.
