8.6/10

14.04.2012 First visit to the Whisky.dk event after returning to Denmark after first living 3 years in Upplands Väsby, Sweden and then 7 years in Shanghai, China. Got back together with old friends to have a nice weekend. Notes. Dark in colour. Nose: wood, smoke, medicinal, herbs, plum, licorice. Palate: balanced, oily, wood, smoke, licorice, raisin. Finish: medium to long, wood, smoke, raisin, licorice.

7.8/10

Versailles style comes through, but there remains a somewhat own "green" note that wanders between kitchen herbs and tea. Has a somewhat difficult time compared to other 85s.

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 1,600 Rums

Guyana is the last home of the wooden still, and the only rum country where the place on the label is almost never the place the rum was made. Its rum, called Demerara after the river, went from 109 distilleries to one, and the estates that closed live on as marks: codes for a recipe, not for a machine. Reading them is the whole skill.
