Bristol Classic 1988 Finest Demerara 30yo 46.5% 700ml information

The Bristol Classic 1988 Finest Demerara 30yo 46.5% 700ml is a remarkable rum that has earned recognition due to its proud age and double maturation. Distilled in 1988 at the Enmore Distillery in Guyana, this rum was made using traditional pot still methods, which are no longer in use but whose equipment now resides with Demerara Distillers. This results in a high-quality, characterful rum from Guyana.

The rum was aged for three decades, which has given it a rich and complex flavor profile. It is not only dark in color but also has a lower alcohol content than typical cask strength rum, making it perfect for sipping and enjoying at your leisure.

The Bristol Classic 1988 Finest Demerara 30yo 46.5% 700ml underwent a unique aging process.

This double maturation process gives the rum a unique and fascinating flavor profile.

Aromatically, the Bristol Classic 1988 Finest Demerara 30yo 46.5% 700ml is complex and multifaceted. It features notes of raisins, vanilla, and baking spices, along with hints of licorice and wax. The palate is treated to flavors of dried fruit, toffee, and caramel, as well as notes of nuts, oak, and a touch of alcohol. The rum is bold and assertive, with a long finish that is sure to impress.

Overall, the Bristol Classic 1988 Finest Demerara 30yo 46.5% 700ml is a premium rum that is not to be missed. Its unique aging process and complex flavor profile make it a standout in the world of rum.
