Bottling info:

The story behind Guyana Cats is a tale of two distinct styles of Demerara rums presented by Precious Liquors. First, we have White Cat, which represents the lighter style of Guyana rums. This rum is known for its pleasant and soft character, with a higher alcohol by volume. It offers a delightful drinking experience for those who prefer a lighter and smoother rum. On the other hand, we have Black Cat, a rum that showcases the heavy style of Demerara rums. This particular rum is distilled in the last year of Enmore operation and is made using the Versailles still rev marque.
