A single-cask Guyanese rum from Ed Hamilton's Ministry of Rum Single Cask Strength Collection, distilled in April 2008 at Diamond Distillery in the legendary Port Mourant double wooden vat still (MPM) — the original still of British Navy rum, built in 1732 from dense greenheart wood. Aged 12 years (tropically in Guyana, then in the US) and bottled September 2021 at natural cask strength of 67.8% ABV, cask #76. Expect deep, oily Demerara character: dark caramel, burnt sugar, ripe tropical fruit, and warm spice with the unmistakable rustic depth that only a wooden still can deliver. A collector-grade pour for serious rum enthusiasts.
