One of the standout features of this rum is its impressive strength, boasting a robust 63% alcohol by volume (ABV).

This expression has undergone continental aging, which imparts a different character compared to tropical aging, often resulting in a more balanced and refined profile. The base of this sumptuous spirit is molasses, maintaining the rich, sweet undertones that are characteristic of traditional rum from the Guyana region.

In terms of exclusivity, the Diamond 2003 14 Years Old 63% Raw Cask is a limited release, with only 274 bottles available worldwide. Each bottle offers a unique snapshot of time, reflecting the meticulous care taken in its production from molasses to its final bottling.

Bottled in a standard 70cl format, this exceptional rum not only delivers in flavor and potency but also stands as a testament to the elegant heritage of the Diamond Distillery and the discerning selection by Blackadder.

Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the nuanced intricacies of aged rum, this 2003 vintage is not just a drink but a solid piece of rum history, encapsulating the spirit of Guyana and the artisan dedication of Blackadder.
