We have the whiskey thread figured I would start a catch all for other drinks that people may enjoy!
I'll start this one off with one of my favorite rums of all time! I've been drinking the Blackadder 15 year Diamond Guyana rum distilled in 2003 from the Port Mourant still at Demerrara Distillers Limited in Guyana.
This is one of the most unique stills in the entire world. A double vat wooden pot still that was constructed almost entirely out of native greenheart wood in 1732, nearly 300 years ago!! The rum produced from this still has a distinct and unique flavor profile and has been used in English Navy style blends for centuries.
This particular example of aged Port Mourant is really fantastic. I am not great with tasting notes but at 96 proof, the aromas and flavors that are here really pack a punch. It doesn't burn whatsoever but just the amount of smells and flavors coming off this stuff you'd think it was at least 100 proof. Uniquely funky unlike Jamaican rum but probably just as polarizing. Not the best at describing as I had said but this one smells a bit like an old wooden box filled with nearly rotten berries and tropical fruits with a hint of motor oil drizzled all over them :lol: the taste is kind of like if a really nice highland scotch and the smells I described had a baby. You get the age at first it reminds you of whiskey then it just takes you for a left turn into (delicious) bizarro world. The finish goes on and on, tastes linger for a good minute after swallowing. Amazing rum to say the least!
