Rum Nation British Guyana, 7 yo. Cask Strength, 59%

Introduction

Rum Nation British Guyana 7 Years represents the rich heritage of Demerara rum production, crafted with meticulous attention to traditional methods that have made Guyanese rum world-renowned for its distinctive character and depth.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium molasses sourced from Guyana’s rich sugar cane plantations, benefitting from the unique mineral-rich soil of the Demerara region
• Distillation process: Distilled in the historic Demerara Distillery using a combination of pot and column still techniques that preserve the rum’s robust character
• Maturation: Aged for 7 years in tropical conditions, where accelerated maturation creates depth beyond its years, using a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks
• Special techniques: Bottled at natural cask strength (59%) without chill-filtration to maintain all original flavor compounds and essential oils

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich molasses, dark chocolate, and dried tropical fruits with subtle notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of leather
• Palate: Intense waves of caramelized brown sugar, dark toffee, and stewed fruits balanced by warming spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper
• Finish: Long and warming with persistent notes of dark coffee, tobacco, oak tannins, and a lingering sweetness that slowly fades

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature or slightly cool (16-18°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped nosing glass or a Glencairn whisky glass to concentrate the aromas
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full complexity, though a drop of water can help open up additional flavors; alternatively, with a single large ice cube for slight dilution
• Food pairings: Dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, spiced nuts, or as a digestif after a hearty meal
