Distilled in 1988 at Enmore Distillery on the legendary two-column coffey still, matured in sherry wood and bottled in 2008 by Moon Import.
THE BRAND
Enmore Sugar Estate was founded by Edward Henry Potter in the early 19th century after inheriting and converting his father’s cotton plantation. Situated on the east bank of the Demerara river, the mark EHP was originally used to identify rums from the distillery annexed to the factory. His orginal still, the two-column wooden coffey still, dates back to 1880. After the Guyana’s government decision to close most of the distilleries and nationalise the rum production in 1974, it was one of only four still active, receiving also the single wooden pot still from the Versailles distillery after his closure in 1978.
Enmore was shutterd in 1994 and its stills transferred to Diamond Distillery.
THE BOTTLER
Moon import, founded in 1980 by Pepi Mongiardino, is one of the most important Italian importer and distributor of fine spirits and wines. Its selections are world acclaimed and some of his rum bottlings are among the most sought-after bottles. Also famous for designing the packaging himself, inspired by illustrations founded in old books, Pepi’s selections are getting more and more a place in spirits history.
