CDI DDL Guyana 2013 70cl bottle
Aged rum · 11 years · 63,1%

CDI DDL Guyana 2013

One taster nailed it: dark chocolate, roasted nuts and a "toasted wood" edge, with dried fruit and caramel underneath. This is a classic Port Mourant Demerara — full-bodied, smoky, a touch buttery, with a long dry finish. At 63.1% the alcohol is present but folds in well. People who spent time with it comparing bottles found it a bit less exciting than some other CDI Port Mourants, but still a good pour.

The community says
  • Dark chocolate & nuts
  • Long dry finish
  • But: High-proof heat

Schöher Start während das Bergzeitfahren bei der Tur de France läuft. In der Nase vor allem getrocknete Früchte, außerdem ist etwas Karamell erkennbar. Am Gaumen eine leichte Süße (dunkle Schokolade), außerdem geröstee Nüsse und rauchig.

Kräftiger Demerara mit typischem Profil aus dunkler Melasse, Gewürz, und reifer Frucht. In der Nase zeigen sich Noten von Karamell, Tabak und leichtem Holzrauch. Am Gaumen vollmundig mit Toffee, getrockneten Früchten und einer würzig-herben Struktur zusätzlich eine interessante Butterigkeit. Der Alkohol ist präsent, aber gut integriert und bringt Tiefe. Der Abgang ist lang, leicht trocken und angenehm warm.

Heute mal random ein paar Port Mourants wahllos gegeneinander probiert. RX 24445, RX23926 und RX3534. Alle sind auf einem guten Niveau, wobei mir die Abfüllungen von Spirit Gallery und der CDI aus 2005 besser gefallen haben als der CDI aus 2014. Aber alle durchwegs solide.

8,4:On the nose, copper, toasted wood notes like butterscotch, burnt sugar, thick, dark chocolate, leather, nuts, spicy, citrus and yellow fruits, plums, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, it becomes medicinal with iodine, dried fruits arise, molasses with herbaceous, flowery touch, black tea and some anise. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is intense, slightly alcoholic, coppery with smoky, toasted wood notes like caramelized burnt sugar, leather, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, spicy, salty, fruity with dried, yellow and citrus fruits, coconut, syrupy, buttery, molasses is herbaceous, earthy with tobacco. 8,2:The finish is medium long, dry, buttery with toasted oak notes like caramel, cocoa, spicy, fruity with dried fruits and dark molasses with black tea, earthy with tobacco.

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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
