The collection of stills housed at Guyana's Diamond distillery is the stuff of legend. When the country's rum production was consolidated to take place at Diamond, it inherited an array of stills from other producers, including the famed four-column metal French Savalle Still from the 18th-century Uitvlugt Estate. Boasting a hefty, molasses-rich character, packed with dates, and baking spices, and bottled at a bold cask strength of 57.4% ABV, this is a top find from That Boutique-y Rum Company.
Batch 2 is a release of 292 bottles.
Hefty, dark molasses, juicy honeyed dates, and bittersweet cacao are joined by a touch of nougat.
Superbly soft and oily, with plump raisins and runny caramel taking the lead while baking spices gather beneath.
Sweet spice, dark chocolate raisins, and hearty, tannic old oak.
