Tasting notes
Amber
The nose is elusive, sweet dried plums with tones of oregano, mint and resin.
The palate has fruity undertones followed by balsamic hints, then dark chocolate, coffee and nuts are harmoniously blended with Mediterranean herbal notes. This is the typical savoury rum character from the Guyana region.
The finish is long and satisfying with echoing notes of liquorice and wax.
Rum styles and distilleries are very difficult to group into macro-areas, since the historic character and methodology, from the type of still to the raw material used, is very varied and mixed. We could sum it up by saying that the tradition and conventions originated from a medley and succession of adventurers, pioneers, landowner and rich businessmen in various waves of colonization. Consequently, the only common factor might be the habit of producing distillates of a certain quality and prestige on the part of the colonizing European country.
