2009 El Dorado Port Mourant Single Still 12 Year Old Cask Strength Demerara Rum (750ml)

El Dorado originally launched a 'Rare Single Still Series' in 2016 featuring rums from three renowned Guyanese stills. There are two variants with new releases offered at 40% and at cask strength. You pay more for the latter, but the flavours are much, much more intense.

Demerara Distillers actually operates nine different stills capable of producing a range of rum styles. Of particular significance are three heritage wooden stills 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. The aim of these bottlings is to reveal the individuality and diversity of flavours that each still contributes.

The Port Mourant still which is the only one of its kind in use today was constructed in 1732 on the Port Mourant Estate, and later moved to the Uitvlugt Estate, then to its present location at the Diamond Estate in 2000.
