Demerara fans who want to see an unusual side of Guyana will find this one worth a look. The AW mark reads young and continental here: green apple, pear, herbs and a chalky, metallic edge, with unexpected toffee and chocolate underneath. Several tasters clock it as a "young PM" more than a classic Albion. At 62.5% the alcohol runs hot and a bit unintegrated, so go in curious, not chasing tropical Albion sweetness.
The community says- Herbal apple nose
- Surprising toffee note
- But: Hot alcohol

How does Albion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams Guyana AW 2012 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Young, herbal Demerara with a metallic bite Interesting and clearly young — apple, herbs and metal with a surprising sweet toffee core. Most agree the hot, edgy alcohol keeps it from matching the more famous Albions.

Nose is reminiscent of other young PMs with wood and some continental fruits. Starts off with intense burnt notes. Some herbs with anis. A hint of chocolate appears over time. On the palate I get some acidity which I attribute to the high proof. However, the taste is surprisingly sweet with toffee and raisins which show up unexpectedly. Don’t take this wrong, this is very powerful and demanding stuff, far off from crowd pleasing sweetness of course. While this is the first AW I had in the glas I’m somewhat intrigued by the profile. Happy to explore some more bottlings. On the first go, SBS and the Nectar feel pretty similar. The latter maybe a little less sweet with more chocolate rather than toffee. Alcohol noticeable in both bottlings

Unfortunately, the nose doesn't appeal to me at all. Very grassy, almost going towards Agricole, with licorice and the alcohol is a bit too present for me. Similar on the palate as the nose. Doesn't suit my taste.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was the last one of the batch and compared to the price tag I think you get pretty much. Nicely fruity and natural sweet and I like the nuttiness in the glass once empty.
Review by Righrum
Pretty strange profile. Not my cup of cake for sure, but really interesting to nose, grassy, plus leather and a sweet side dominate the scebe. Drink side, too much boozy, and some acid note not helping, while roasted and grassy notes are the most relevant I find drinking. Overall, interesting dram, reminds me a lot of a few Fiji rum I tried
Review by Thunderbird
Today the two Albion of S.B.S and the Nectar tasted against each other!On the nose, both are almost identical..on the palate then reveal differences! The Nectar is creamier softer and rounder, although the alcohol is not as well integrated as the SBS. The mixture of fruit. Spice and plantiness I find here clearly more pleasing, also in the finish he convinces me with the better intensity.for me the clear winner!
Review by Johannes
I like this one much better. Reminds me of a young PM97. Beautiful fruit notes, anise, caramel. Overall, it could still use a longer maturation. Of course, not to be compared with the tropically matured Albions.
Review by Frank
A young Guyana, without question. Albion DNA is not discernible for me.Nose: spicy, fruity, an herbal impact and slightly toasty. The first thing I got was apple with fig and floral honey. There are also herbs, some chili and a hint of caraway. The caraway gets even stronger with time. Still seems quite fresh, which is certainly also due to the 62%. Reminds me of a young PM.Palate: dry, bitter and slightly spicy. Spicy-woody-slightly toasty. Again, more of a young PM. Lime zest and green apple are prominent, nutmeg and caraway come behind. Seems metallic, copper with iodine. Overall, it is too edgy and immature for me.
Review by Andi
Doesn't reach other Albions, but still quite exciting. If you don't approach it with the expectation of an Albion! Apple, wood, herbs, and dried fruits with some sweetness. Something different.
Review by Oliver
Rather unusual for Guyana. The nose is dominated by herbal notes. Quite sharp and edgy on the palate. Not the Albion profile I love so much.
Review by Serge
Tasted with the SBS 2012 Albion with which this can not quite keep up. The SBS is slightly "fatter", spicier and has wine nicer sweetness. The mouthfeel is also nicer on the SBS. This one is fresher, more peppery and drier.
Review by Rare Akuma
The nose is tangy, herbal, and very vegetal. There’s sparse fruitiness from grapes, maybe even leaning to light raisins, but foremost there’s rhubarb (in all its glory!). Earthiness and spices encompass the profile only adding fuel to the aged agricole idea. The wood is somehow subdued and more closely resembles soaked cardboard boxes. Very different experience on the palate. Much more woody than expected and barely any fruits left to be found. We continue with chamomile tea, followed by an olive brine saltiness. It’s still quite sweet, but definitely guided by strong medicinality. There’s isobutanol and lots of metal. This is a challenging rum. The finish is short with more grapes, wood and tea. The metal lingers for quite a bit.
Review by Christoph
Granny Smith with some herbs on the nose. In the mouth it becomes more metallic and sour with a somewhat too distinct alcohol note.
Review by Buddudharma
Very close to the PM profile. In my eyes superior to the 2012 SBS.
Review by Sebastian.W
I've had this bottle for a while now and the profile hasn't changed much over time. I Prefer the nose to the taste. The nose if fruity, buttery, spicy and vegetal. The taste on the other hand is more dry and bitter. Here I get some burnt and musty notes. The alcohol integration could have been better.
Review by Roman Lelek
I originally guessed Jamaica, but now I smell Guyana
Review by Filip Heimerle
Great guyana lechce technique cream. And the smell. Beautifully complex
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Good Guyana well integrated but too woody and spicy for me.
Review by Jackie Flannery
A new boring tasting session with young pot still single cask Guyanese rums. Kill Devil 12y, 61,1% Barikenn 8y, 63,3% The Nectar 10y, 62,5% SBS 10y, 64,6% C: W wine N: 5min in and this is oily, buttery and salty. Do I also get vanilla ice cream? After a few moments, celery and granny apple peel and brine. For me The Nectar has the best nose, and it all has to do with the fact that I’m a sucker for sweet oiliness in rums. M: Almost elegant taking into consideration that this is a rather young pot still rum. Probably aged in Europa also. Red apples command the taste. It is also smoky and floral. A bit acetonic and with rubber bands. F: Short but sweet. B: Yes. Why boring? Every rum brings something slightly different, but I like them all.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Big name, small age, taste? Mediocre. A classic, slightly woody aroma, as you know from many young Demeraras. For me, especially disturbing is a bitter alcohol sharpness that overshadows the otherwise quite exciting taste.
Review by Rum man
This is an interesting rum. The Albion mark is of course a famous one, which sets expectations. However, it is not fair to judge this solely against the other Albions. Let’s judge this on it’s own merits. The color makes us believe it was aged continental. Interestingly enough the fruits on the nose suggest the same: apple and pear run the show for me. It tastes more sweet than fruity, think caramel and milk chocolate. It is quite boozy though. This is an intense rum in terms of flavour, don’t let the color misguide you. It just does not feel quite balanced. It is very interesting to taste this other side of Albion. It does not make it as far as its cousins but it is not a bad rum at all. That being said, for me there is no need to have a full bottle of this stuff.
Review by Jacques etdom
Makes me think of a dying port (which I don't like). Quite spicy on the palate. Alcohol not well integrated. It's okay but nothing special.
Review by ElReyTristan
On the nose it reminds me of a Jamaican from Hampden, rather high in esters with a Dunder fermentation. On the nose, the roasted pineapple stands out but especially the funky Jamaican side. A bit of almond, even marzipan. On the palate, it's too aggressive, the aromas are a bit muffled. I find the markers from the nose but more burning and spicy. It's quite long on the palate like many high esters but I'm a bit disappointed by the overall lack of complexity of this rum.
