8.3/10

Since I basically liked the flavor profile of the sweetened version very much, I was very curious. A great Demerara profile. Very spicy, barrel aging just right. Nice tar notes, dried fruits and caramel. Surprisingly long, beautiful finish. A complex, skillful blend. I recently had the Rare Collection Skeldon, the DNA is absolutely comparable. The only downside is strength and concentration, of course, it can't keep up with the Full Proofs. I paid 34€ for the bottle!!!😀😀😀

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.
