Samaroli Demerara Dark Rum 1991
Most tasters land in the same happy place here: a Demerara with dirty, tarry notes that more than one member says reminds them of a Caroni. Wood, leather, licorice, a whiff of rubber and dried plum, all carried by an oily body that punches above its 45%. A couple found it bitter or a touch sweet, but the roasted-and-dirty crowd clearly loves this one.
The community says- Caroni-like dirt
- Oily long body
- Keep in mind: Can read bitter

Tasted at German Rum Festival Flavor profile seemed off. Did not expect this taste sensation, disappointed.
Review by Basti
In addition to the roasted aromas, the nose also has some dirtiness that is slightly reminiscent of a Caroni. There is a lot going on on the palate for the low ABV. Wood, leather, licorice, some tar and rubber. I like it very much.
Review by zabo
The first thing I noticed after pouring was the beautiful dark color. As for the taste itself, the typical KFM markers are recognizable. But what I really liked was that Caroni-like dirty notes developed, I'm always open to that kind of thing.
Review by Michael Schou
#1810 18-07-2026 - Rate 8.4 The first Guyana in our summer Guyana tasting. We start out slow in concerns to ABV at least. Here we have 17 years and 45% ABV. Had no expectations to this one being so low in ABV, but what a smooth palate of Guyana thickness and olieness
Review by Jakob
Trade fair impressions from the 14th GRF in Berlin 2025. Very nice KFM with typical markers and successful reduction.
Review by Carlitooo
Unfortunately too bitter
