Signature Barrel Series
Multi-Vintage Single Pot & Column Still Rum
New Arrival
We have blended two rums produced in Guyana’s last working distillery, from contrasting stills. One was distilled in 2003 from a steel Coffey double-column still; the other in 2001 from a “Versailles” wooden pot still. Both have been aged in refill bourbon barrels.

“As Guyana’s sugar industry declined in the mid-1800s, and distilleries closed, a law was passed to preserve unique rum stills, till eventually the country’s production consolidated to one distillery with 13 different stills, so there is huge variety in styles to blend with. This is all depth, with sumptuous treacle, dark chocolate, prunes, fruit cake and spices.”
Tasting Notes
Nose
Immediately, the classic scents of wooden stills greet us on the nose - liquorice, dark chocolate, treacle, and molasses.
Palate
In the mouth we find layers of complexity - that slight bitterness of dark chocolate and toffee. There is fruit too - maybe some chocolate raisins, prunes and Christmas cake.
Finish
Lots of spice on the finish, cinnamon, nutmeg, toasted almonds, oatmeal cookies and rich, dark chocolate.
