1999 El Dorado Rare Collection Port Mourant Cask Strength Demerara Rum (700ml)

Rum purists will be pleased to get their hands on a trio of limited edition rums from El Dorado's Rare Collection. Launched in 2016, each one features a rum from one of three renowned Guyanese stills. Demerara distillers actually operate nine different stills, capable of producing a range of rum styles. Of significance are the three heritage Wooden stills in the operation, relocated from their original estates: Enmore, with its wooden continuous Coffey Still. Port Mourant, with its wooden Double Pot Still and Versailles with its wooden single pot still.

On the surface, the Rare Collection mirrors El Dorado’s 12, 15 and 21 year old rums, though the packaging is more conservative with low key colours and an embossed ship on the shoulder of the bottle. The big difference is that these are all-natural, single still, cask strength, unblended and non-chill filtered rums. They're also limited to 3,000 bottles worldwide.

The Port Mourant still is the world's only operational Wooden Double pot still. Founded in 1732, the original estate is reckoned as one of the oldest in the region. Traditionally the PM rum was very popular with the British Royal Navy. Nowadays, it's a key component in El Dorado's 15 Year Old. This special release was matured in x Bourbon barrels and bottled at 61.4% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.
