Lot presentation

Demerara 28 years 1974 Silver Seal Whisky Company Wildlife Series n° 1 One of 470 - bottled 2003

The wine

A 28 year old Demerara rum (Guyana) distilled in 1974 and bottled at cask strength in 2003 by Silver Seal for the Wildlife range. It is not known which distillery the rum is from, nor which still was used to produce it. Silver Seal was founded in 2000 by Ernesto Mainardi—also the founder of Sestante—and bought in 2010 by Massimo Righi, the owner of Whisky Antique. A limited edition of 470 bottles featuring a label designed by Sarah Adams.

About the Producer Demerara

Demerara named after the Demerara River in Guyana produces exceptional rums. This region was renowned for supplying many countries, notably the British crown, with sugar and rum. Distilleries were established around each sugar mill. Their purpose was to use the molasses to create rum, which was then given to slaves or sailors in the Royal Navy. More than ten years after Guyana’s independence in 1975, all the distilleries were closed down and are now operating as a single organisation called Diamond Distillery. To this day, Diamond Distillery continues to produce powerful, aromatic rums bearing the emblematic name of their former distillery. The vast majority of the spirits they produce are used to make blends, as they display a heavy, complex character as a result of being distilled in very old stills.
