The
Port Morant Estate in Guyana was established in 1732 and was one of
the earliest to produce the unique Demerara style of rum for which
the country became so famous. The
Demerara Vat Stills used at the estate were moved to Georgetown as
part of the reorganization of the industry some years ago.
These
very large pot stills, which are quite unique, are still producing
their special style of heavy rum, much sought after for blending in
the traditional style.
We
have selected this bottling from 1990 which has been matured for
most of its life in American oak, until we transferred it to old
Port Pipes for the last 2 years prior to bottling.
Dark
in colour with ruby tints the nose is full of fruit with tones of
toffee and soft wood. A good
weight of palate leads to sweetness and the classic Port Morant
touch of aniseed. Well
controlled wood enhances a long and lingering finish. Enjoy
over ice with a fine cigar.
