Distiller Notes
The 18th Century estate at Plantation Versailles, then owned by the French family L'Amirault, was situated on the West Bank of the Demerara River and was famous for its golden rum. Distilled on the Single Wooden Pot Still, the rum is coloured with caramel prior to ageing in oak barrels for 12 years.
This rum celebrates the smooth chocolatey palate of a fine aged rum.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
