This is one of the world's first luxury rum blends. It is a blend of aged rums, some as old as 25 years old using spirit from two column stills, a wooden Enmore two-column and a French Savalle four-column still, blended with spirit from two unique wooden pot stills.

Launched in 1992 (originally at 43%) and presented in a flagon bottle held in a gold embossed presentation box illustrated with a maritime design, underlying Demerara Distillers' association with ancient maritime.
