Compagnie des Indes Guyana 8 Year Old Rum (700ml)

Tasting note: From DDL's Port Mourant still, this pale gold coloured rum opens with an intense grassy-caney aspect that reminds you of quality agricole. Brief air contact accents plantain, banana bread and hints of curry leaf, following with medium bodied, silky flavours of semi ripe banana, fruity dark chocolate and cola. Remains fresh and vibrant to the last. 387 bottles. Non chill filtered. 43% Alc./Vol.
