2003 Diamond Distillery 16 Years Old Cask Strength Rum – Leith Stillroom (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 59.9%           Age: 15 Years Old          Country: Scotland

The Diamond Distillery is the last surviving rum distillery in Guyana and produces characterful distillates that cannot be reproduced elsewhere. This is because the distillery’s Port Mourant double wooden pot still, Versailles single wooden pot still, and Enmore Wooden Coffey stills are the only remaining wooden stills left in the entire world.

Distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2019 with no chill filtration or colouring and at a whopping 59.6% ABV. This cask strength rum has been bottled by Leith Stillroom.
