Rum Nation DDL Demerara Rum Solera No.14 2019

Here's the twist: it's a Solera-style Demerara from Rum Nation, so the dark, roasted Guyana character comes wrapped in a lot of sweetness. Expect coffee, cocoa, caramel and dark dried fruit, with vanilla and burnt-cask notes. Bottled at 40%, the wood and alcohol sit together nicely, but several tasters flag a very short finish and a bit of pepper on the back end.

The community says
  • Coffee and cocoa
  • Easy daily sipper
  • But: Very short finish

A strange idea to apply the Solera method to a Demerara rum, followed by a sherry cask finish. The nose is very sweet and caramelized, with an influence of red fruits, sweet spices and tobacco. The palate is rather oily, the 40% reduction having impacted the rum's aromatic profile. Licorice, anise, cinnamon, chocolate, caramel and vanilla wood dominate, with a hint of tobacco and tea. The finish is very short, the profile darker and roasted like Demerara rums. Far from a benchmark rum, but affordable for the price.

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.
