"Impressive rum, very complex despite ABV," as one taster put it — and that captures this old Guyanese Demerara well. Prune and dark dried fruit lead into leather, tobacco, roasted wood and fresh rubber, with burnt sugar underneath. Several think it's a Port Mourant or Enmore from the 1960s. At 46% the nose is huge; a few wish the palate hit as hard.

How does Moon Import Demerara Rhum Aged 21 Years 1985 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Woody, prune-and-leather vintage Demerara sipper Deep, woody old Demerara most tasters love for its prune-leather-rubber complexity. The recurring catch: for its intensity the 46% palate reads slightly thin next to the enormous nose.

Review by Johannes
The nose is a dream. Should be a 64 Port Mourant in terms of taste. Great profile, unfortunately a little thin after the cadenhead64. More on the woody side, not a fruit bomb.
Review by Jakob
Complex profile with a wonderful balance of dark fruit notes, dried plum, tart woodiness and heavy sweetness. This is probably a 1964 vintage, which is also true in terms of taste. Outstanding Demerara!
Review by SaibotZtar
For the low alcohol content very intense nose dark dried fruits, leather, rubber, coffee chocolate lots of wood and Demerara syrup. Palate I find a lot weaker (on a high level). But very similar to the nose ... Finish with a great combination of sweetness and bitterness.

#6516 20.03.2026 Part three of todays evening tasting with a few friends. And now were going for the great non spitting rums. Today the music is a bit different because not all like my Trance and Psy Trance, so we have settled on some EDM and hits from the 80s. Thank you Silas for supplying the samples. This is a very good Demerara and it has very good balance and ABV integration. The nose has roasted wood, medicinal notes, smoke and plum with a hint og flowers. The palate is ily with anise, roasted wood, chocolate and dried fruit as well as light plum. The finish is medum long and light spicy with roasted wood, smoke, prunes and chocolate.
Review by Holle525
According to my information, this bottling was bottled in 1985. Would therefore have to be a 1964 or younger PM. And that also fits the flavor profile of Cadenhead's 1964 PM only in diluted form
Review by zabo
I poured this dram for my wife Zabo for her birthday. A really fine drop, we were both very enthusiastic, but as it often happens on a special day, it was forgotten in the corner after the first sips. So I have to deduct a bit. The longer it stood, the faster it deteriorated and in the end tasted a bit thin and watered down. Nevertheless, an excellent drop. We should have just drunk it faster.
Review by Serge
Oh wow. That's quite a nose. Despite the low ABV, the aromas jump out at you as soon as you pour it. Dried fruit with prominent plum compete with tobacco, leather, barrel, rubber, burnt sugar and a little liquorice. More tobacco, wood and leather in the foreground on the palate, but very fine. I would have liked a few % more, but it's very good as it is.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
For 46% unbelievably intense and heavy and dense. Super nice vintage Enmore with an intense sherry aroma. No wonder after 21 years in "Sherry wood". Very successful bottling from Moon Import.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Probably the oldest Demerara I've had the pleasure to try. A heavy profile despite low ABV. A bit closed presentation revolving around wood and caramel, a great rum to slowly taste and appreciate.
Review by Adrianv
Impressive rum, very complex despite ABV, fruit, bitter, woody, balanced, excellent and unique
Review by Pavel Spacek
Amazing profile. And yes, molases/caramel is there. Unfortunately is ir just 46%, so the molases/caramel taste overhelms the rum taste, that is just minority in taste.

This really has the vibe of the small skeldon brother. burned sugar, maritime notes and a lot of fresh rubber. on the palate it continues, although the rubber turned into talkum. a very warm and spice filled finish. great
