Day trip Dortmund August 2025. Uncle Tom's pub. Followed by an overproof of Lemon Hart, which I don't know. Dried fruit and dark chocolate on the nose. Then barrel, cocoa and roasted on the palate.

Liquid demerara DNA, especially for mixing old Tiki recipes certainly a bank. On the nose for 75.5% surprisingly mild, taste but then somewhat alcoholic but not burning or particularly unpleasant. Very intense after dark, spicy molasses in pure form! Personally, it is just a bit too burnt, smoky and bitter. But in drinks as I said just the right profile that call for an authentic overproof demerara rum. Especially in corn'n'oil he makes himself fantastic. You can hardly get more spice in a drink with one ingredient.

Difficult to get past the alcohol, but mostly caramel and brown sugar notes. On the palate it’s actually better then I expected: dark sweet molasses and heat from the alcohol. Glad I found a bottle to use for mixing and tiki drinks (a lot of recipes call for it), but had to try it neat first.

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 1,600 Rums

Guyana is the last home of the wooden still, and the only rum country where the place on the label is almost never the place the rum was made. Its rum, called Demerara after the river, went from 109 distilleries to one, and the estates that closed live on as marks: codes for a recipe, not for a machine. Reading them is the whole skill.
