Velier Demerara 1996 Diamond SVW Guyana 15yo 64.6% 700ml is a highly sought-after rum from the Diamond Distillery in Guyana. Distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2011, this particular bottling pays homage to Yesu Persaud, named after the Diamond plantation where the rum was born.

The nose unfurls with aromas of caramelized sugar, dried fruits like apricot and raisin, and a perfect blend of oak, vanilla, and subtle smoke. On the palate, the initial alcohol bite gives way to a harmonious blend of bold caramel, dark chocolate, exotic spices, and woody tones. The richness is complemented by notes of sweet cherry, tangerine, lychee, and faint medicinal undertones, creating an extraordinarily layered and balanced experience. The finish is powerfully long-lasting, with spicy and woody notes intermingling with chocolate, brown sugar, and hints of roasted anise and licorice.
