Distilled in the heart of Guyana in May 2005, this exquisite rum from the Transcontinental Rum Line brand spent only a brief period aging locally before being transported to Europe in early 2006. The continental climate of Europe refined its character for almost 12 years until it was finally bottled in 2017. While very few bottles were produced, this rum stands out for its robust ABV of 58.1% and its unique profile developed over 12 years. Initially available only as samples due to its limited quantity, it presents a remarkable experience for rum enthusiasts.
On the nose, the rum opens with an initially strong alcoholic scent that mellows with time to reveal complex layers of honey, vanilla, and woody notes, accompanied by dried fruit and a spicy aroma. The flavor profile is equally intricate, boasting spicy, bitter, and sweet notes, alongside roasted and woody undertones. A hint of dried plum adds to its multifaceted character.
On the palate, the rum is quite spicy and pleasantly bitter, with subtle sweetness. Oak, nutmeg, and a touch of menthol and anise play a significant role, though some might find the alcohol slightly overpowering. The finish is marked by a lingering spice, anise, and nutmeg, leaving a memorable impression.
