  Alta Gama Extra-sec Guyana Rum 70 cl 41%

  Item no.: 22227865395-8176

  Three distilleries, three still styles, one bottle – Alta Gama Extra-sec is a small lesson in just how differently Guyana can taste.

  Expert description

  Alta Gama Extra-sec is a Guyana Rum matured in oak casks and bottled at 41%.

  The rum is a blend from three historic distilleries in Guyana: Port Mourant with its double wooden pot still, Enmore with its wooden coffey still, and Uitvlugt with its four-column French Savalle still. The blend gives Alta Gama Extra-sec a character spanning from the heavy, molasses-driven Port Mourant style to the lighter, more elegant Uitvlugt style. The rum is distributed in Denmark by CRT Spirits.

  Tasting notes

  Burnt Demerara sugar, liquorice and orange peel with a hint of oak.

  Palate

  Round and lightly sweet with the same burnt sugar character plus a warm spiciness.

  Finish

  Long and satisfying with oak, a gentle spice tone and a pleasant sweetness.

  Finest Guyana Diamond 14 years Blackadder Raw Cask Rum 63%

  Item no.: 22227865443-2126

  Blackadder calls its series Raw Cask because it removes nothing from the barrel, neither chill-filtering nor the small particles otherwise sieved out. This Guyana Diamond is rum as it comes straight from the barrel.

  Expert Description

  Guyana Diamond 14 Year Blackadder Raw Cask is a Guyana Rum from the Diamond distillery, bottled unfiltered at cask strength of 63%.

  The rum is bottled by the Scottish independent bottler Blackadder, known in the whisky world for its Raw Cask series, where the spirit is filled straight from the barrel without chill-filtering or reduction with water. The base distillate comes from the Diamond distillery in Guyana, famous for its many different still types, including the historic wooden stills still in use there.

  Fourteen years of ageing without filtering gives a rum with a markedly mineral and earthy character, where the raw, unfiltered elements from the barrel provide an intensity rarely found in more commercial releases.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Mineral with grape skin and green olive that becomes more pronounced with time in the glass, complemented by burnt sugar and dried fruit.

  Palate

  Powerful and spiced with an earthy, lightly salty touch and a warm, intense alcoholic fullness.

  Finish

  Long with wood and spice, closing on a final hint of salt.

  El Dorado 25 years Guyana 1990 Rum 43%

  Item no.: 22227865395-7103

  There are rums you drink, and there are rums you sit still with. El Dorado 25 Year belongs to the latter category.

  Expert description

  El Dorado 25 Year Guyana 1990 is a Guyana Rum matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 43%.

  The rum was created to mark the turn of the millennium and comes from Demerara Distillers in Guyana, which distils on a collection of historic stills, including the Port Mourant pot still, the Enmore wooden coffey still and the Versailles pot still. After distillation, the rum is matured for at least 25 years in casks that previously held bourbon, giving it, over the years, a silky-smooth structure many compare to old cognac.

  Item no.: 22227865377-1305

  Expert Description

  Item no.: 22227865416-401

  Pussers Gunpowder Proof British Navy Rum 70 cl 54.5%

  Item no.: 22227865449-280

  Before modern hydrometers existed, the British Navy tested rum strength by pouring it over gunpowder and lighting it. If the powder still ignited with a steady blue flame, the strength was correct. Gunpowder Proof is Pusser's tribute to that exact strength.

  Expert Description

  Pusser's Gunpowder Proof is a Rum from Barbados and the British Virgin Islands, bottled at the original admiralty strength of 54.5%.

  The rum is built on the same historic recipe as the house's standard British Navy expression, but is bottled at the precise "gunpowder proof" strength the navy used for its gunpowder test, back when alcohol meters didn't yet exist. The blend follows the admiralty's original recipe, as used until the Royal Navy officially discontinued the daily rum tot on 31 July 1970.

  The higher strength gives a more concentrated flavour experience than the standard expression, with a deeper, more warming character that underscores the rum's roots as a spirit built to hold up on a ship for months at a time.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Pungent molasses, treacle, caramel, honey and vanilla, complemented by oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and robust with caramel, banana bread, spice cake and roasted nuts.

  Finish

  Long, warming and lightly smoky with lingering molasses and oak.

  The name Gunpowder Proof comes from the historic method sailors used to verify their rum tot hadn't been watered down by a dishonest quartermaster: mixed with gunpowder, the rum still had to be able to ignite the flame.

  El Dorado Port Morant 1999 Guyana Rum 61,4%

  Item no.: 22227865395-104

  The world's last surviving wooden double pot still of its kind still distils rum as though it were still the 1800s.

  Expert description

  El Dorado Port Morant 1999 is a Single Still Demerara Rum from Guyana, distilled on the Diamond distillery's famous Port Mourant wooden double pot still in 1999, matured for 16 years in former bourbon casks and bottled at 61.4% with no added sweetening.

  The Port Mourant still is the world's last surviving wooden double pot still of its type and produces a markedly heavier, smokier, more earthy rum than most other Demerara still styles. Being part of El Dorado's Rare Collection, the release is neither filtered nor sweetened, letting the still's raw, historic character come through undisturbed.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Smoky and earthy with intense spiced tones, a greedy fruitiness evoking cooked apple, vanilla and cinnamon, extended by liquorice, almond and walnuts, highlighted with candied orange, tar, aniseed, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg.

  Palate

  Woody notes explode on the tongue, transitioning into spiced aniseed and tar followed by a buttery, oily, nutty caramel, surprisingly citrus-forward with sweetness and dryness on the first sip.

  Finish

  Vibrant woody aromas, sweet spices and dried fruit blend harmoniously into a refined, delicate finish with a hint of citrus.

  El Dorado Versailles 2002 Guyana Rum 63%

  Item no.: 22227865395-103

  Only 3,000 bottles in the entire world from a single historic pot still – the kind of scarcity that makes rum collectors pay attention.

  Expert description

  El Dorado Versailles 2002 is a Single Still Demerara Rum from Guyana, distilled on the historic Versailles pot still in 2002 and bottled at 63% as part of El Dorado's Rare Collection.

  The Versailles still is one of the last surviving single-distillation stills of its type in the world and produces a markedly heavier, more robust rum style than the blended releases in El Dorado's core range. Because the release is unfiltered and has no added sugar, it comes across as raw and intense, its 63% strength underlining the still's characteristic power.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Light brown sugar with a touch of sourness, complemented by caramel, tobacco, tropical fruit and cinnamon.

  Palate

  Powerful with charred oak and pronounced tannins, where plum notes dominate and leave a light bitterness along with a hint of pepper.

  Finish

  Dry and spiced with liquorice tones and a persistent, intense close.

  El Dorado 5 years old Guyana Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865395-19

  The lightest of El Dorado's age statements is still full-bodied enough to belie its mere five years in cask.

  Expert description

  El Dorado 5 Year is a Demerara Rum from Guyana, matured for at least 5 years in oak casks and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is distilled by Demerara Distillers at the Diamond plant and represents the entry point to the house's age range. Although it is the youngest of the named El Dorado releases, it already carries the characteristic Demerara sweetness and richness that made the brand famous, making it a versatile rum that works just as well in a cocktail as sipped neat.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Lively with dried tropical fruit, caramel, butterscotch and molasses, led by caramel and vanilla, followed by banana and pineapple with a hint of cinnamon.

  Palate

  A vibrant, spicy entry evolving through fruit, caramel and toasted coconut, fading to a vanilla-tinted glow, with burnt sugar and dried fruit like raisins and prunes plus a touch of dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Short and dry, with a lingering toasted oak note and a subtle hint of liquorice and molasses.

  Expert description

  El Dorado 15 Year is a Demerara Rum from Guyana, matured for at least 15 years in oak casks and bottled at 43%.

  The 15 Year expression builds on the house's classic Demerara style, but with the extra depth and complexity that three additional years of cask ageing bring.
