8.2/10

8,2:On the nose, notes of pure, thick molasses, roasted wood with caramel and nuts, dark chocolate, spicy, coppery and dried fruits, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, pastry and baked apples are out, roasted nuts, allspice, as the molasses becomes vegetal. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is sweet with roasted wood notes like caramel, later pastry, gingerbread and coffee, buttery, spicy with pepper and baking spices, fruity with apple, dried fruits and on oxidation, berries, as the molasses is vegetal, when aired well, floral and minty, slight metallic patina crawls in. 8:The finish is medium long, medicinal, dry and tannic, sweet with roasted wood notes, spicy and fruity with green fruits, the molasses participates pencil shavings. Edit:14.12.2025, oxidation helps, 0,1 up

8.1/10

Beautiful Plantation in my opinion. The nose is mainly fruity, tropical and dried fruits are recognizable, but also some peach. On the palate, the fruitiness is then limited to apple, tasting very herbal here.

Demerara Distillers Ltd 

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 250 Rums

Demerara Distillers is the company that ended up holding everything. As Guyana's only surviving rum maker, its Diamond plant runs the world's last wooden pot stills and the last wooden Coffey still alongside modern columns, draws 24 different marks from them, and blends them into El Dorado. It is also the reason most Demerara on the shelf comes from one address.
