The S.B.S Guyana 17-Year-Old Rum, distilled by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits, showcases a vibrant herbal and spicy profile. Distilled in 2003 from molasses using a pot still, this rum has aged gracefully, offering complex notes of licorice, dried fruits, and woody spices.

“Herbal tea meets Guyana. Well, nose still exciting / complex (herbal, nutty, roasty, fruity) and makes you want more, but in the mouth then woody, dry, spicy, tart. Would have liked more roasted flavors, caramel and fruit. In the finish a lot of licorice, spices and dried fruit, which what does not quite meet my taste.”

“Guyana can be a little tricky in my taste. There are the ones that I love and the ones that I’m not the biggest fan of. Those are the herbal and vegetal ones. This one tastes a lot like a very herbal PM, in addition to some wood and spices a a touch of fruit. Interesting but not for me.”
