2001 Guyana 15 Year Old Single Cask Rum

One of only 199 bottles!

Another fantastic single cask from first-class independent bottlers, Hunter Laing. This time it’s a cask strength, column distilled rum, straight from Diamond Distillery in the Caribbean! Bottled at 61%, this has spent time maturing in Guyana, before being shipped to Scotland to be bottled by Hunter Laing.

Although the Diamond Distillery is the last surviving rum distillery in Guyana, the history of rum production in Guyana stretches back as far as 1650, when the British introduced the art of distilling to the sugar plantations in Guyana. In the late nineteenth century the rum industry in Guyana began to close down. The Sugar Plantations began to close, and many of the distilleries ceased production. Diamond Distillery recognized that many unique styles of rum could be lost and began buying the old Stills and equipment at the last surviving estates. By 1999, Diamond Distillery was able to reproduce most of the original variations of rum distilled with the same original Stills as before, including wooden stills!!
