The Velier Demerara 1983 Albion AN Guyana 25yo is a legendary rum, meticulously distilled at the Albion distillery in Guyana using molasses and a Wooden Continuous Coffey still. Carefully selected and bottled by Velier, this exquisite spirit was distilled in 1983 and aged for 25 years before being bottled in 2008 at 46.4% ABV. With only 313 bottles produced, this rare gem is a collector's item. The rum reveals a polished mahogany color with a thick, oily viscosity. It boasts a rich aroma of vanilla, creamy toffee, sugar, tobacco, and varnish. On the palate, flavors of vanilla, salty coconut, sugar, and medicinal notes come to life, while the finish is long and intense with spicy, woody, and creamy elements, leaving lingering notes of salt and oak. While some find it slightly thin, others appreciate its perfect balance and complexity. This rum is in high demand, offering an unforgettable taste experience and deemed worth every penny.
