Coffee-lovers and Guyanese-rum newcomers are the natural fit here. Expect strong mocha, cocoa, dark chocolate and caramel with a burnt-wood edge — like a caramel candy spiked with coffee beans, as one taster put it. Several find it a touch too sweet and a bit one-dimensional; a few enjoy dried plum and a faint sherry note. Light body, easy to drink.
The community says- Rich coffee-cocoa nose
- Easy to drink

How does Rum Nation DDL Demerara Rum Solera No. 14 2015 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Sweet, coffee-forward Demerara, a bit one-dimensional Most agree it's a pleasant, coffee-and-cocoa Demerara that leans sweet and a little flat. Fine as an entry sipper or mixer, but experienced drinkers find it one-sided and short.

This one is very nice. Price / quality 👌 Very fruity flavors. Sweet with a slight bitterness to it. A bit oaky as well.

Slightly hot. Diluted, quite nothing.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Well. The rum offers cocoa and coffee. Nothing more though. One-dimensional and flat. No need to spend money on that.

Review by Rumpalumpa
This rum is not necessarily complex, especially on the nose, but the profile is just very pleasing. You feel like you're eating a caramel candy pimped with coffee beans, cocoa, and malt beer.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Probably lots of SV mark in this Demerara. Initial smell: yes coffee. Caramel. Burnt sugar. Cocoa. Leather. Not too heavy. Taste: although light still pretty big flavours. Lots of coffee. Dark chocolate. Wood. Bitters. Caramac candy bars. Not bad. A bit onesided for all the stuff Diamond can make but a nice gateway for the more thick woody Guyanese stuff (with probably some e150 aged with the cask).
Review by Chrischi78
Very unbalanced and way too sweet. On the nose: coffee, caramel, burnt sugar, cocoa, and leather. On the palate light but aromatic: lots of coffee, dark chocolate, wood, some bitterness. Solid, though one-sided entry.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasting during a Rum Nation Masterclass. 👃 The work on the barrel charring gives good aromas. Burnt wood, coffee and cocoa roasting, cappuccino, chocolate/banana/vanilla combo, concentrated caramel, it's still a bit sweet, Demerara sugar, candied prunes and a bit of leather. 😋 We find the same markers as on the nose accompanied by hot licorice, a big syrupy side, molasses, caramel. Light dried fruits from the sherry. ⛳ The finish is rather short, quite sweet and syrupy nonetheless, on burnt wood, barrel, sherry, tannins, quite a lot of cooking spices and chocolate. 💡 The ambassador informs us that after aging in a Bourbon barrel, a second Bourbon barrel was sprayed with pure cane juice inside the staves then burned. Then, the rum aged 2 more years in a Sherry barrel. An interesting process work.

A little too sweet but still very tasty and round.
Review by Huubvh
This is a nice rum. It drinks nicely. The taste and smell remind me a bit of an anise/licorice liqueur. I found the taste comparable to candies like Wybert or Potters. I will definitely order this more often.
Review by Tim
Actually a solid nose with lots of cask, roasted aromas, smoke, malt, caramel, burnt sugar, coffee, chocolate, leather, and rubber. Relatively dirty. Plus some fruit in the form of banana and plum. Tasty and balanced on the palate, even if a bit thin, but definitely not overly sweet, which is not a given in this segment.

Rhum Tour 2025 Nothing special wouldnt recommend
Review by Michal S
I didn't expect much and didn't get much either. Coffee clearly dominates in taste and aroma, besides that a bit of caramel and gently toasted notes. There are better rums and not a few of them.
Review by Rumbaron
Notes of dark chocolate, coffee, dried raisins and a background dominated by roasted aromas that hint at herbal notes (black tea and gentian root).
Review by Kieron Wood
Nosing Demerara sugar, chocolate deep taste This truly tatses like a dialled down woods rum . Proper Demerara sugar that's deep in dark chocolate , raisens and woody ... Nice umdosed tatse of Demerara.. blantent from DDL distillery , sometimes ddl get bad representative from dosed sugar this feels without ... Very clean on the after taste
Review by High Ester Maitai
Nose Barrel and coffee. Stong with hint of dried plum It has syropy mouthfeel, but it is not syropy in taste. Heavy rum. Melases, barrel, cacao, some coffee like mocha. At the end is very pleasent sherry. I would love that rum to have more of this sherry notes, but it is only some aftertaste. Finish is short with sherry and mocha coming out more and quickly fading away Good heavy rum. Pleasent and not overwhelming, but it is quick and shallow expirence. I'm suprise that rum don't have really robust taste with at least medium finish
Review by Rummiamo
A good valle for money rum, i loved it when i was a beginner, maybe non it would let me not completely satisfied
Review by Jan Sajbrt
Very interesting coffee-woody rum, gently bitter. I can't stand coffee, but this is quite drinkable.
Review by Necron
Incredible fragrance for the nose. Honestly impressive smell and then the surprise with the taste. Very spicy and at the same time not harsh. Would recommend it for mixers but if you are used to rums, give it a go!
