How does this rum taste?
The Velier AN, from the historic Albion distillery in Guyana, is a limited 1989 release aged 19 years.

Albion meets Grande Arôme - the classic profile of vanilla, oak and toffee is complemented by a subtle note of fermented fruit and mint, which I associate directly with Savanna Grand Arômes. Unique combination at the highest level.
A bit rougher, but more complex than the Albion 2004.
Incredible experience. Nose 95 points, taste points. Very exciting combination of caramelized fruits, spices, dark chocolate and smoke. In direct comparison to the Albion from El dorado, which is of course a little younger, I didn't think it was worth 30 times as much...
I threw 1500 euro after this bottle last week and I don't regret it a single moment. Wow, what a rum!
