Demerara Dark Rum 1994 Samaroli Single Cask

A 1994 vintage Demerara rum from an unnamed distillery. At this point in time there were two distilleries in operation in Guyana; Diamond and Uitvlugt (Enmore closed the year prior). The latter has since also closed, but its styles remain in production after the stills were transported to Diamond in 2000.

Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), he is regarded by many as a visionary. Many of his bottles now occupy deserved sports on the pantheon of whisky greats, and their rum output under the tenure of Antonio Bleve is increasingly revered as well.

Aged in Scotland since 1992, bottled in 2005 and as Samaroli repeatedly stated to the ire of the Scotch Whisky Association, "refined inside the bottle" ever since.

This is bottle number 7 of 346 drawn from cask #33.
