The Guyana (Port Mourant) 1998, aged for 24 years, is a remarkable rum bottled by the renowned La Maison & Velier to celebrate their 5th Anniversary. Distilled at the historic Port Mourant rum distillery, this exceptional spirit was crafted in 1998 and bottled in 2022, making it a true testament to the art of rum aging.
This rare rum hails from Guyana, famous for its rich rum heritage. The distillery utilizes a Double Wooden Pot Still, a traditional and rare production method that imparts a unique character and depth to the rum.

The rum matures in ex-Bourbon and ex-Porto casks, which contribute rich, layered tones and enhance its sophisticated profile.
