    The Pot Still Guyana PDW rum from Cadenhead's, distilled by Demerara Distillers Ltd in 1972, is a vintage molasses-based spirit. Aged for 29 years and bottled at a robust 60.9% ABV, this rum offers a complex aroma with predominant notes of vanilla, caramel, and coconut. Its flavor profile showcases intense caramel, licorice, and a hint of citrus followed by nougat and oak. Users praise its balance and richness, though some find it a bit too sweet and less complex compared to other Demerara rums. It holds a rare distinction, making it desirable for collectors at auctions.

     Slightly more complex than its 28-year-old sister bottling, very balanced, sweet vanilla and caramel notes from the oak, subtle spices and fruit...great cinema.

     Auch hier, ein wirklich toller und sehr leckerer Rum, aber bei der Range die uns Jakob zur Blindverkostung zur Verfügung gestellt hat, kann eine Grante, leider nicht mit den anderen Granaten nicht ganz mithalten.

     Erster Test des neuen Blindverkostungsfeatures. Hier hat mich Jakob aufs Glatteis geführt. Ich hätte eher auf Agricole getippt und nie einen PM vermutet. Vor allem an der Nase. Am Gaumen kam mir die Süße etwas stark vor aber ich habe nicht gezweifelt – und lag völlig falsch. danke Jakob
