Demerara Rum 1990 Rum Nation 25 Year Old Sherry Wood Finish

Founded in 1999 by Fabio Rossi CEO of Rossi & Rossi and modelled after his highly successful whisky bottling company Wilson & Morgan. Since it's inception Rum Nation has earned a good reputation for producing some excellent quality and value drinking rums, especially at the premium end of the spectrum. 

A Demerara rum, this carries a 1990 vintage and was bottled after 25 years in cask, the final period of which was in sherry wood.

This rum was distilled by Demerara Distillers Ltd, the company formed by the government in Guyana in 1983 after it consolidated all of its nationalised rum distillers as a single entity. It operated three distilleries; Diamond, Enmore and Uitvlugt, and was in the process of warehousing ageing stock with a view to bottling its own rum brands, which it eventually did in 1992, launching its now iconic El Dorado 15 year old. In the meantime it continued distilling bulk rum for independent bottlers, resulting in a wealth of spectacular releases like this. These may contain single marque rums, or a blend of various marques from the country’s many historic stills, all of which are still in use today at Diamond, the sole remaining distillery. Known as the “heritage stills,” they are Uitvlugt’s historic four-column French Savalle stills, the Versailles and Port Mourant wooden pot stills, and the Enmore wooden coffey still, the oldest and last of its kind in the world.
