Guyana rum

Cask # 28
2nd fill Bourbon Hogshead
Distilled October 1999
24 years old
50.1% /70 cl
219 bottles

Colour: Warm honey
Nose: An expressive funkiness
that resonates with some people as
overripe, bruised pineapple but
with others as fresh bicycle tires
and Plimsoll shoes fresh from the
box. Note, too, acacia, lanolin,
and beeswax candles
Palate: The expressive funkiness
of the nose is much tempered on
the palate. The fruitiness (guava
paste and dried mango) is to the
front but there’s abundant rich,
black licorice and dark roasted
coffee beans to the rear
Finish: The licorice and coffee
bean notes from the rear of the
palate stick around right through
the finish as the palate quietly
dries
