Compagnie des Indes Guyana Rum 13 years old 57,2% – bottled for Denmark

Here’s a rum experience that goes straight to the heart of Guyana: dark, intense and full of depth. Compagnie des Indes has bottled this rare single cask rum specifically for Denmark – a release for connoisseurs, collectors and those who want rum with serious character in their glass.

The rum originates from Guyana and is distilled at Diamond Distillery – one of the most legendary distilleries in the rum world, known for its heavy, aromatic and classic “Demerara”-inspired style. After 13 years of maturation, it’s given a long and luxurious finish of a full 48 months in sherry casks, elevating the rum with extra layers of fruit, spice and warm sweetness. It’s a rum that really opens up when you give it time – and it rewards you with complexity from the first whiff to the long finish.

At 57.2% strength, it delivers plenty of power and intensity, but also a great balance, with the cask finish bringing it all together for a rounded, deep and almost velvety feel. It’s a rum that cleans up beautifully – and can also stand a few drops of water if you want to coax out even more nuances.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Dense and deep with dark caramel, molasses, raisins and dried fruit, followed by sherry notes, nuts, orange peel and spicy oak notes.

Taste: Rich and powerful with layers of brown sugar, dark chocolate, prunes, candied fruit and spices. The sherry cask adds vinous depth, slightly nutty sweetness and an elegant, fruity lift.

Finish: Long, warm and persistent with dark fruit, spice, oak and a rounded sherry-like finish.
