Demerara Millenium 12Y Guyana 40%

XM 12yo is a very special dark golden Guyanese sipping rum from Banks DIH, originally introduced for the Millenium.

Tasting Notes :

Appearance : dark gold

Nose: Full and intense: immediately obvious that this is quite serious stuff.  Big, creamy oak vanilla, some toasty notes, honeycomb, raisins, gingersnaps and dry wood.

Palate: Big hit of varnished oak, like church pews.  Then aged orange liqueur, treacle tart, cheesecake base, hints of tinned mango, pecan pie, dark chocolate shavings and milky coffee.

Finish: Very, very long, with the oak persisting amid pecan pie, vanilla ice cream, candied orange peel, chocolate liqueur, mocha and raisins.

Land: Guyana

Distillery : Banks DIH

Alcohol by volume : 40%
