The Ester Hunter Catch 3 The Whisky Jury

The third edition of The Ester Hunter delivers yet another gem. This 10-year-old Guyanese rum from the iconic Diamond Distillery carries a high ester Port Mourant mark – rare and deeply characterful. Despite its youth, its dark colour suggests a few years of tropical aging. The result is a rum that feels like a blend of old-school Uitvlugt with a Jamaican twist. Bold, funky, and refined – this one’s a true catch.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Intense and vivid with notes of varnish, overripe fruit and leather. Beneath that, fresh layers of grapefruit, orange zest and a hint of briny olives. A nose full of promise.

Palate

Explosive and layered, with a thrilling mix of estery funk, tropical fruits and bitter citrus. Flavours of green banana, lime juice, old wood and leathery depth. Creamy yet dry, with classic Port Mourant character.

Finish

Long and tingling with lingering citrus oils, salty minerality, a touch of menthol and a slightly medicinal echo. Dry, powerful and satisfying to the very end.
