Most tasters land in the low 8s on this Demerara, and the recurring word is chocolate — dark chocolate, pralines, caramel and roasted nuts, with vanilla and spice on the long, warm finish. It reads a touch sweet despite no added sugar. The one real sticking point: at 65.7% the heat is big, and a few wished for a hair less punch.
The community says- Dark chocolate depth
- Long warm finish
- But: Very high ABV

How does DDL S.B.S Guyana (Bourbon Cask) 2016 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Chocolatey, roasted Demerara at big cask strength Loved for its dense chocolate, caramel and roasted-wood character, this Guyana runs hot at cask strength — several tasters wanted it a notch gentler, but almost all say it's worth trying.

8,4:On the nose, citrus fruits and dried apricots, raisins, roasted wood with caramel, nuts, praline and coffee, slightly sweet, spicy with vanilla, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, menthol and solvents are obvious, dark chocolate and roasted nuts, the wood is a bit resinous, the molasses herbaceous and berries pop out. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is quite spicy, the wood is roasted with chocolate, roasted nuts, espresso, crème brûlée, as the molasses is caramelized, candied, while the fruits are dried with raisins and apricots, citrus and yellow, later berries.On oxidation, menthol and metallic patina arise, some salted confectionery. 8,5:The finish is long, dry, warm, but balanced, as dried fruits intermingle with roasted, spicy wood notes and tobacco...

It's distinctly strong thanks to 65.7% ABV, naturally has decent strength. Aroma of caramel and spices, taste very similar, surprisingly quite integrated alcohol... but for me unnecessarily strong.. After opening, quite pleasantly drinkable...
Review by Timo Groeger
So it’s getting better and better until the lights go out ;-). Nice Guyana, at least roasted and dark without end, chocolate, vanilla and caramel, all clearly recognizable here. Delicious rum anyway.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Ohh just tasty 👍🏼🙏🏼pokud there will be another bottle so I'll definitely take it to the stock. ------------------- Tasted it and I have to point out that it is just a great rum, the beginning of a nice sweet aroma with orrisy chocolate caramel, the taste of wood, spices, a strong percentage of alcohol and it warms up nicely, in the mouth you absolutely explode. The finish is long and warming, chocolate and vanilla.
Review by Matej
Thanks to my friend I had opportunity try this exclusive bottling for Rum CZ/SK group. I have to say right from the start that the rum smells wonderful, but it needs to chill for a while (otherwise you will get hit with strong, strong aroma). I noticed very nice sweet scents of vanilla, chocolate and caramel which is complemented by the aroma of spices and wood. Taste is very strong and heavy, from the start I noticed sweet flavors (chocolate, molasses), then comes wood and some spices. I really do like finish where I noticed vanilla flavor and nice warm feeling. Overall very good, but very strong rum, at least for me I would rather have this rum with lower ABV (just a little bit). It is worth to try? Absolutely YES!
Review by Jiří Chmelíček
Great treat, chocolatey, woody to nutty delight. A bit sweeter, very pronounced taste, warming finish.
