A 32 Year Old pot-distilled blend of Enmore and Uitvlugt from Decadent Drinks, dry and wood-driven with medicinal herbs, pencil shavings and salted liquorice over dried fruit and allspice, unsweetened at 53.1%.
Description
A pot-distilled Guyanese blend from Decadent Drinks, marrying Enmore and Uitvlugt spirit drawn from Guyana's heritage stills at Diamond. At 32 years and bottled at cask strength, it is a serious old-school Demerara built around dry wood and herbal intensity, the two estates lending their cedar-and-pencil and refined column characters to a single dense whole.
Maturated from molasses in ex-bourbon wood at 53.1%, it noses on dried fruit, oak, a medicinal edge and a floral lift, then delivers wood, dried fruit, allspice and tannin, the finish staying woody, salty and herbal with more allspice, pencil shavings and salted liquorice over a very long close. Unsweetened and full proof, it leans firmly into the medicinal, wood-driven extreme of long-aged Guyana rather than fruit or sweetness, the continental ageing keeping it focused. A demanding, contemplative pour for experienced palates.
