Rum Nation British Guyana 7 Year Old 59% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

Opis

Out of curiosity and recklessness, we often go “straight from the cask”, to understand the raw intensity of the spirit and have a rough idea of how much water it will need.
And, guilty as charged, also because it is FUN: some rums are so enjoyable that dilution would somehow rob them of their natural power and vitality.
Briefly aged in the Tropics and then in a continental climate with the use of second fill sherry casks, this blend of fatter rums from a 250 years old wooden pot still and lighter ones from a double wooden column still retains all the richness of Demerara sugarcane: a nose of ripe dates, sweet tropical fruits, chocolate and cigar boxes.
Dry and clean in spite of its raisiny richness and estery intensity, it’s loaded with pepper and cinnamon: explosive and hot.
Tasting notes
Appearance: Amber.
Nose: Very intense, alcoholic, pungent, loaded with aromatic esters. Ripe dates, sweet tropical fruits, chocolate and cigar boxes.
Palate: Dry and clean, with a very restrained winey influence from the sherry casks. Sultana raisins, fermented fruits and again high estery intensity, but with a sharp and not sweetened profile, very spicy. Pepper and cinnamon galore.
Finish: Spicier and spicier, building up in heat and intensity.
Comment: Briefly aged in the Tropics and then in a continental climate with the use of second fill sherry casks, this blend of fatter rums from a 250 years old wooden pot still and lighter ones from a double wooden column still retains all the richness of Demerara sugarcane.
