DOUBLE WOODEN POT STILL
DESCRIPTION

Distilled in 1985 at Uitvlugt Distillery on the legendary double wooden pot still transferred from Port Mourant upon its closure and bottled by Moon Import.

 

THE BRAND

Port Mourant Sugar Estate was born as a cotton plantation and no precise news has arrived to us. According to Demerara Distillers Ltd it was founded in 1732 on the banks of Demerara River, even though no source mentions this name before 1813.

Its over 250 years old legendary Double Wooden Pot Still, is one of only two original wooden pot stills in the world. 

Due to missing information, there is no precise closing date. Port Mourant distillery operated till the 1950s and its precious still brought to Albion. After its closure in the late 1960s, they were transferred at Uitvlugt where they operated till 2000. Uitvlugt was closed as well and the stills moved to Diamond, the last distillery in the country and property of the Government of Guyana.

Its precious stills are still operating and are part of the legendary ‘Heritage Stills’, jealously guarded at Demerara Distillers Ltd.

 

THE BOTTLER

Moon import, founded in 1980 by Pepi Mongiardino, is one of the most important Italian importer and distributor of fine spirits and wines. Its selections are world acclaimed and some of his rum bottlings are among the most sought-after bottles. Also famous for designing the packaging himself, inspired by illustrations founded in old books, Pepi’s selections are getting more and more a place in spirits history.



Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
