Albion AN 1983
This is a 2000 bottling of Albion marque rum from, produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL) at Uitvlugt distillery. An independent bottling, it is from Velier's second batch of Guyana rum releases, which also included an Enmore and a rare La Bonne Intention marque, also from Uitvlugt.
With the relationship between Velier and DDL strengthened after the original 1996 releases, DDL offered to bottle these for Velier despite the casks being located in Europe already, outsourcing the job to their Dutch subsidiary, Breitenstein Produkten. These bottles represent a true milestone on the journey to the first of the legendary collaborative bottlings produced by Velier and DDL between 2005 and 2014.
