DDL Rum Club Switzerland No.2 SWR 2021

Punches way above its five years — that's the recurring surprise here. One taster blind-guessed a 20-year-old Diamond before learning the truth. Expect the full Guyana signature: dried fruit, caramel, wood, herbs and licorice, with a vanilla sweetness and buttery pastry note that softens the cask-strength heat. Nobody calls it groundbreaking, but the barrel influence sits nicely for the age.

Rich young Demerara, tastes older than 5 years Members keep landing on the same verdict: remarkably rich and integrated for only five years. A few find it almost too sweet, but the cask influence wins them over.

A glass of this rum was handed to me by Sven, the founder of the Swiss Spirits Museum, at the 4th GAF 2026 in Stuttgart for a blind tasting – so not only a fair but also a blind rating (photo was provided to me later by Sven). Hardly any alcohol detectable on the nose, but I was immediately on the Guyana trip, which deepened after tasting. So I was already right there. I then guessed about a 20-year-old Diamond because the rum seemed dark, heavy and long-aged. Ha, I was way off – only 5 years of aging, amazing! Anyway, very drinkable and almost a bit too sweet, although certainly not sweetened afterwards. More than a solid thing!

Thanks to Switzerland, very nice that Sven let me taste at the 4th GAF in Stuttgart. For his young age, he can already do quite a bit. The barrel influence harmonizes very well here. Thanks for setting aside a bottle for a split.

Das man einen Guyana im Glas hat wird einem beim Einschenken schon klar. Getrocknete Früchte, Karamell, Holz, Kräuter und Gewürze prägen das Aromenprofil von Anfang bis Ende. Nicht besonderes, aber für nur 5 Jahre Reifung kein schlechter Rum

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.
