Alta Gama Extra-Sec (15 g/L sugar added), Fine Aged Rum, 41%

Introduction

Alta Gama Extra-Sec is an elegant expression of Guyana’s rich rum-making heritage, meticulously crafted by blending exceptional spirits from three of the country’s most revered historic distilleries.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium sugar cane derivatives sourced from the fertile lands of Guyana, known for their distinctive terroir and exceptional quality.
• Distillation process: A harmonious blend of rums from Port Mourant’s double wooden pot still, Enmore’s wooden coffey still, and Uitvlugt’s four-column French Savalle still, each contributing unique characteristics to the final spirit.
• Maturation: Carefully aged in oak casks that previously held bourbon, allowing the rum to develop complexity while absorbing subtle vanilla and woody notes from the wood.
• Special techniques: Precisely dosed with 15 g/L of sugar post-aging, creating the “Extra-Sec” profile that balances the rum’s natural robustness with refined sweetness.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Inviting aromas of tropical fruits, vanilla bean, and toasted oak with subtle notes of brown sugar and warm spices.
• Palate: Smooth and well-rounded mouthfeel delivering ripe banana, caramelized sugar, and baking spices, complemented by hints of dark chocolate and dried fruits.
• Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering notes of oak, gentle spice, and a pleasant sweetness that doesn’t overpower the rum’s natural character.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: 18-21°C (64-70°F) to fully appreciate its complex flavor profile.
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped snifter or Glencairn glass to concentrate the aromas.

• Food pairings: Dark chocolate desserts, crème brûlée, aged cheeses, or as an accompaniment to a fine cigar.
