Rum Nation DDL Demerara Rum Solera No. 14 2016

7.8/10
Rated by Michael Janek & 24 more

Sip it neat and the first hit is dark: coffee, dark chocolate, mocha and espresso, with prunes, licorice and a leathery, tobacco edge underneath. The catch is the sweetness — several tasters call it very sugary, all kandied fruit and candy. One member describes it as "very sweet with coffee and chocolate," which sums it up. Better suited to a rum sour than a tasting glass.

  • Dark chocolate, coffee
  • Long finish
  • Good in cocktails

Subtly bitter was announced. Unfortunately, this is not a background aroma; the rum comes to the fore with a strong bitterness. Not a rum for beginners. The chocolate aroma is slightly enhanced by the sweetness of prunes.

Here is a Rum Nation rum. I can drink it well, but there are definitely better ones from this brand. It tastes very sweet and like candy and candied fruit. Also very sweet on the nose. Still quite tasty

Nose: bright! Dark olive, chocolate, camphor, rubber, coffee, woody, prunes, old leather, brown sugar, licorice, herbs. First mind - to simple, but then, so deep & so many sides of aromas. Really good. Taste: Oh, sweet again ( cough medicine. Lot of dark chocolate, thyme, licorice, prunes, molasses, herbs, dark honey, little bit of eucalyptus & camphor. Aftertaste: Medium-long, bittersweet, with ethereal herbs, licorice, prunes & coffee. Conclusion: First mind - typical, simple dark rum. But then - so deep & multifaceted. Still sweet, still column & molasses, but it's really good sample for this type of rum. Very good.

Very nice stuff. A bit more leathery and tobako-burny-thingy

6.7/10

Tasted shortly before the end of the bottle, not drinkable on its own, quite pleasant in Rum Sour, in combination with a strong shot of Smith&Cross. Otherwise far too sweet, too much caramelized sugar, the alleged finish in PX and Oloroso is not really noticeable. Does not pass the tincture test 😀
