Diamond 2010, Berry's Cask #06003
Details
The Caribbean boasts a long history of rum distilling. Each country has its own unique style and, with maturity, the full, intense fruit, soice and, often, molasses flavours shine through.
This Guyana rum was re-racked into an ex-Williamson Islay whisky barrel for 12 months. They reversed this process so they also have a williamson finished in a rum barrel as part of their summer 2021 release. The nose is an unusual pairing of the high ester tropical fruits that Guyanan rum often displays, with a slight ashy note drifting in, as if carried on a sea breeze. The palate is complex giving tobacco leaf, some engine oil and plenty of overripe fruit, leading to more of the same delicate smoke on the finish. A very unusual rum.
