Po dlohé době vzorek staré demerary. Barva tmavá mahagonová. Hned na první přivonění je cítit spálený cukr, tmavý karamel, kávu ďrevo. V chuti se přidávají rozinky včetně štopek, které přidávaji hořkost v závěru. Krásně jemné, alkohol vůbec necítím, parádní kousek.

This is a tasting from 10.05.2019 where I went out with a few colleagues for a nice tasting. Notes i have. Very dark and kind of light rum. ABV could have been higher but very well balanced. Slight medicibal touch like cough sirup to it.

Wow, despite the 43%, the nose is amazingly intense with a beautiful plum compote. Fantastic! The intensity continues on the palate, with roasted aromas, wood and a slight bitterness dominating alongside the plum.

Country

Guyana 

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.
