Holyrood Elizabeth Yard Diamond Port Mourant 2011 10yo Red Wine Octave Guyana Rum

Description

This Guyana based distillery has one massive claim to fame.  It is the only rum distillery that still owns and operates three types of wooden stills.  Yep! That’s right, wooden stills.  And for this bottling, it is the Port Mourant type, where one wooden still is connected to the another which is then connected to a condenser.  So, it’s almost a continuous post still.

It is interesting to see Elizabeth Yard employing red wine casks as an additional flavouring component to this aged rum.  And an octave is a small 80lt cask.

So, I would expect an fascinating combination of Diamond’s the big, fat, estery oily spirit with a touch of fresh berry fruits from the red wine cask.
