This 50th Anniversary Special Edition is a blend of specially selected rums aged in oak casks for up to half a century, imbuing each drop with rich complexity. Its flavours are augmented by almost equally old fine rums in the style of the historic Albion, Skeldon and La Bonne Intention Estates, a salute to the versatility of our vintage French Savelle Stills.

Finished with a soupcon of aged pot stills rums surviving from our heritage Double Wooden Pot and a since discontinued John Dore copper kettle. It’s special release marks Guyana’s Golden Anniversary – a toast to 50 years of independent nationhood.
