Berrys' Guyanan Rum 1998, 15-year-old, 46.0% graves-sauternes Vinous (May 2014)During the 1650s the British introduced the art of distilling to Guyanas sugar plantations spawning the countrys vibrant rum industry. Within two decades there were more than 300 stills in operation. Today only one survives, Diamond distillery on the banks of the Demerara river. Deep fruity aromas evolve giving raisin and prune notes. A little vanilla softens the intensity. The palate has some toasted oak notes and balancing sweetness from the fruit.
