Amaica produces some of the heaviest character rums in the Caribbean, often with high ester content resulting in rich aromatics and full flavours. This fine pot still example epitomises the fuller style from the island Intense aromas of brown sugar sprinkled bruised bananas, a hint of pineapple and some nice honey notes display.

The palate gives sensational tarry richness as it swells with burnt treacle and smokiness. One to linger over.

This is definitely in the uplifting and refreshing domaine, having an exquisite balance of well defined spirit and beautifully integrated vanilla. The quality of the underlying rum gives structure and texture allowing the vanilla layers to fuse and play on the palate. Unique and enlightening!

During the 1650s the British introduced the art of distilling to Guyana’s sugar plantations spawning the country’s vibrant rum industry. Within two decades there were more than 300 stills in operation. Today only one survives, Diamond distillery on the banks of the Demerara river.

Deep fruity aromas evolve giving raisin and prune notes. A little vanilla softens the intensity. The palate has some toasted oak notes and balancing sweetness from the fruit. Bruised apples and pears come to mind.
