D'Aguiar's XM VXO Extra Old Aged 5 Year Demerera Rum

D'Aguiar's XM VXO Extra Old Aged 5 Year is a classic Demerara rum that embodies the rich, heritage-driven distilling tradition of Guyana. Produced by Banks DIH, this spirit is crafted from local molasses and aged for a minimum of five years in bourbon oak casks within the tropical climate of Georgetown. The "VXO" designation highlights its "Extra Old" status within its age category, emphasizing a profile that is notably smooth and refined. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of dried fruits, honey, and toasted oak, with the signature earthy sweetness characteristic of the Demerara River region. The palate is medium-bodied and velvety, showcasing flavours of vanilla, spice, and dark caramel, leading to a warm, balanced finish with a hint of toasted nuts.
