Enmore MEA 1988 Velier 20 Year Old

One of a series of legendary bottlings from the brief but beautiful period (2004-2015) when Velier owned a small stake in Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL), which afforded Luca Gargano privileged access the warehouses and his pick of casks to bottle. Sadly "The Age of Velier Demerara" has passed but the memory of it lives on in these spectacular releases. 

A fantastic 20 year old, full proof, Demerara rum. This is bottled from 2 barrels distilled at Enmore in 1988, before it closed. The rum was produced on their single wooden pot still, which had started life at Versailles on the banks of the Demerara river, where this style of Rum derives its name. Enmore closed soon after, in 1993 and the stills and stock were transferred to Uitvlugt which, in turn, closed in 2000.

Bottled in March 2008
