The Velier Demerara 1996 Diamond and Versailles SVSG Guyana 18yo 57.9% 700ml is a rare gem in the world of rums, meticulously crafted in Guyana by the renowned Demerara Distillery. Selected and bottled by the esteemed Velier brand, this exceptional rum is a product of a limited release, with only 570 bottles available. The rum was distilled in 1996 from molasses using both pot and column stills and was aged for 18 years in a tropical climate, resulting in an ABV of 57.9%. This exquisite rum features an intricate blend of flavors and aromas that evolve as it rests in the glass. On the nose, you are greeted with bold notes of licorice, prunes, coffee, and a hint of polish, creating a complex and deep aroma. The palate follows suit with rich flavors of dark chocolate, barrel, full-bodied prunes, and licorice, all balanced beautifully. The finish is long and memorable, characterized by notes of minty coffee, vanilla, and a touch of herbal anise. The SVSG is highly regarded for its complexity and well-balanced profile, offering a luxurious drinking experience that stands out as a pinnacle of Demerara blends. The rum boasts a dark copper color, adding to its visual allure, and has been praised for its harmonious integration of alcohol, removing the need for additional water.
