  Only two original wooden distillation stills of this kind still exist in the world. One of them is called Port Mourant, and every year it produces becomes rarer.

  Expert description

  Demerara Port Mourant 13 Year is a Rum from Guyana, distilled on the iconic Port Mourant wooden double pot still in 2003, matured for 13 years and bottled at 51% from cask number 36.

  The rum is released by the Italian bottler Silver Seal, founded in 2000 by Massimo Righi, and is part of an extremely limited series of only 255 bottles. The Port Mourant still is one of the last two original wooden distillation stills left in the world and has for over 250 years produced the classic "Demerara Navy Rum," originally for the British Navy. The distillate is known for its deep, powerful aroma and is still used today as a cornerstone in many of the world's most respected rum blends.

  Sample 3 cl Long Pond Distillery 2000/2016 Silver Seal 16 years old Jamaica Rum 51%

  Item no.: 2222786539-1069-12

  Sixteen years in Scotland after distillation in Jamaica – a journey that gives the rum an entirely distinctive, funky character.

  Expert description

  Sample 3 cl Long Pond Distillery 2000/2016 Silver Seal 16 Year is a Jamaica Rum distilled at the Long Pond distillery in 2000, bottled by the Italian bottler Silver Seal in 2016 and released at 51% in a small 3 cl sample format.

  Because the rum spent all 16 years maturing in Scotland's temperate climate after being shipped from Jamaica, it develops a different, more restrained cask influence than rum matured entirely in the tropics. Long Pond is known for its "funky", ester-rich style, and the long maturation gives this particular release a complexity that draws on the best of both climates.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Banana, papaya and lemon with a tangy ester character and a syrupy sweetness.

  Palate

  Spiced with cumin, bacon, clove and ester, complemented by a touch of molasses.

  Finish

  Funky with nutmeg and a metallic undertone.
