DDL Big Mama Full Proof Private Stock
Here's the twist: for a Demerara, this leans surprisingly technical and medicinal rather than dark and sugary. Expect tropical fruit up front, then tar, peat and a chemical, almost glue-like edge, drying into wood and spice. A few tasters even swear there's Caroni-like character hiding inside. Light in color, bone-dry, and hot at cask strength — this one rewards patience.

Dry, technical Demerara with medicinal funk Most tasters like the fruity-meets-medicinal mix and the dry, well-integrated proof. One member summed it up: "the taste is just there." Its funky, tarry side won't be for everyone.

Review by Roman Lelek
I am not big fan of Guayana rum, but I have to admit that this one is really good- I like the mixture of fruity and medicinal or chemical tones. The nose is quite light - almonds, wood, ground or peat…i don’t feel fruits at all. The color is also quite light yellow.. The taste is developing from fresh fruity notes to woody and medical.

Big mama? No, this is Big daddy! :D From the scent I was sceptical… but the taste is just there. Exactly what I like - masculine - he is technical, he has the personality. He just my type.
Review by Michal S
Pěkná Guyana s tropickým ovocem a syntetickými/medicinskými tóny. Celou láhev bych asi nedal, ale v pohodě pití.
Review by Vinsdorf
Same feeling like LeGust Demerara 2002. Guyana on the label but inside is Caroni. Definitely. It tastes like very good continent Caroni with short sherry finish. Well it reminds me Rum Nation Caroni 1998. Pretty good.
Review by Ondra RumRunner
"Demerara Distillers Ltd - Big Mama - Full Proof" je výrazný rum s vysokým obsahem alkoholu, který slibuje intenzivní zážitek z ochutnávky. Vůně je bohatá na tóny kůže, vanilky a tropického ovoce, doplněná dřevitostí a kořením s jemným náznakem rašeliny. Chuť je komplexní a výrazná, s příměsí tropického ovoce, koření a dřevitých podtónů. Delikátní medicinální tóny a dehtová hloubka přidávají rumu na originalitě, což ho činí vhodným zejména pro zkušené degustátory. --- English: The "Demerara Distillers Ltd - Big Mama - Full Proof" is a robust high-proof rum that offers an intense tasting experience. The nose is rich with leather, vanilla, and tropical fruit notes, accompanied by woody and spicy nuances, with a subtle hint of peat. The flavor is complex and bold, featuring tropical fruit, spices, and woody undertones. Delicate medicinal notes and a tar-like depth enhance its originality, making it particularly appealing for seasoned connoisseurs. --- Deutsch: Der "Demerara Distillers Ltd - Big Mama - Full Proof" ist ein kraftvoller Rum mit hohem Alkoholgehalt, der ein intensives Geschmackserlebnis bietet. Das Aroma ist reich an Noten von Leder, Vanille und tropischen Früchten, ergänzt durch holzige und würzige Nuancen sowie einem Hauch von Torf. Der Geschmack ist komplex und intensiv, mit Anklängen von tropischen Früchten, Gewürzen und holzigen Untertönen. Zarte medizinische Noten und eine teerartige Tiefe verleihen dem Rum Originalität und machen ihn besonders für erfahrene Kenner interessant.
