Meyer Baggers Demerara Rhum Ciguena Collection 1969

This Demerara rum dates to a 1969 vintage and was bottled in the Ciguena Collection of Meyer Baggers, a piece of old Guyanese rum from a different era of the great estates. Specifics of still, age and strength are not recorded, leaving the vintage and the Demerara heritage as the headline.

Guyanese rum is molasses-based and built around the country's heritage stills, ranging from the oily Port Mourant pot still to the cleaner Savalle and Diamond columns. Without a stated marque the wider Demerara character is the safe frame: dark sugar and dried fruit, wood and spice in varying weight. A vintage curiosity whose appeal rests on its age and origin rather than a documented cask profile.
