El Dorado 1998 The Last Casks Red Label Limited Edition Rum (70cl, 49.1%)

A limited edition dark rum from Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana. It is made from the last remaining casks of the caramel-coloured, light blend from the Tri-Canada Redistillation Still, later closed, blended with rum from the Diamond Coffey Still. The 24 years of ageing took place in ex-bourbon oak casks. On the nose it offers honey, almond, orange and banana; on the palate it shows liquorice, dark chocolate, green apple and dried fruit. It is bottled at cask strength, 49.1% vol, in a 70cl bottle.
