8.6/10

Unusually fresh-floral notes, initially really fresh and floral on the nose. The sample might also have oxidized a bit longer, at least that would explain the unusual floral notes for me. Either way, this bottling remains exciting. The classic old Demerara profile appears here in a new guise.

Classic Demerara from the 1970s on the nose. Extremely floral and flowery on the palate. Spring meadow meets dark Demerara note. Very exciting!

Thank you Johannes for the samples. Rx3886 Berry Bros & Rudd Port Mourant Demerara 1975, 32y, 46% Dried plums, licorice, old rotten wood, molasses, cola, bitter chocolate, coffee, brown sugar Licorice, dried fruit, spiciness, bitter chocolate and overall sweet-bitter taste. Very rich, complex and full at 46%, very warm nose and taste. Rx6635 Rum Nation Demerara 1975, 25y, 45% Immediately after pouring very fruity fresh and floral. After inhaling the profile darkens into licorice, dried plums, spiciness and wood. The taste is noticeably more diluted, fruity flavors prevail complemented again by licorice, spiciness and wood. Not as heavy and full because freshness of tropical and continental fruit remains. Rx5335 Rum Nation Demerara 1975, 31y, 43% On the nose vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, brown sugar, sweet pastries, dried fruit, wood. The same tones appear in the taste. Overall quite diluted and therefore rather unremarkable, light and sweeter. Rx11728 Samaroli Demerara 1975, 31y, 45% Initially continental fruit, especially red apple, after a while dark notes of licorice, dried plums, wet wood, light cola, but also sweeter notes of chocolate, vanilla and caramel become more pronounced. In taste again first light fruit, which quickly shifts to licorice, wood and spicy and coffee bitterness. It's a mix of the second and third sample, besides typical dark traits it's fresh and fruity, but also sweeter.

Perfect profile, low ABV = too watery
