    How does this rum taste?

    The S.B.S Guyana 1988 rum, distilled at Enmore (Versailles) distillery and aged for 27 years, boasts a limited release with only 180 bottles available. Crafted from molasses with a single wooden pot still, this rum presents a complex mix of woody, raisin, chocolate, and coffee notes on the palate, complemented by an aroma rich in dried fruits, burnt sugar, and subtle chocolate undertones. This rum is esteemed for its depth and harmony, with a robust ABV of 51.8%. Multiple tasters appreciate its complexity, though some note a pronounced bitterness and a desire for fresher fruit aspects. Ideal for dedicated rum enthusiasts, particularly those interested in the uniqueness of major Guyanese rums.

    A warm, full nose. Very mature, smooth and balanced. Complex and spicy. Wood, burnt sugar and spices in the mouth. Not particularly powerful (but far from watered down). Nice finish. A nice, archetypal Demerara, quaffable and enjoyable. For higher consecrations but then lacks the special.

    Again a Versailles, which is not immediately apparent in view of the color. Lots of tart spiciness, toasted notes and slight bitterness from the wood as well as subtle tea aromas. To me, it lacks some fresh fruit to bring in more balance. Overall exciting, but not one of my Versailles favorites.

    This is a great Guyanese rum from S.B.S. With a lot of nose and flawours. A well balanced and complex 28 year rum that you should try if you're a rum nerd.

    Lovely Versailles just perfekt not that intense but easy drink and really integrated %
