Review by Martin Ekrt
Jemná karamelová vůně se sušeným ovocem, vanilkou a trochou ořechů. Je znát i víno. V chuti velká, ale chuťově vyvážená porce karamelu. Nádech kávy a spáleného dřeva. V závěru karamel, sušené datle a káva. Fajn kousek.
Review by rum_sk
Very nice guyana, typical Demerara rum which is a little bit on a sweet side but on a very good way as you get the milk chocolate, fudge, caramel, coffee and roasted almonds all in one sample. Nose is typical demerara with heavy tones of coffee, cocoa and leather. I like this one a lot despite it is only 40% abv.

Demerara Distillers Ltd - Rum Nation je rum z oblasti Guyany, známý svou bohatou chutí a komplexním aroma. Tento rum vyniká svou rovnováhou mezi sladkými a pikantními tóny. Aroma přináší výrazné tóny vanilky, tropického ovoce, švestek a mandlové pasty (marcipánu) s květinovými náznaky. Chuť je intenzivní, kombinující karamel, kávu, koření a pepřovité tóny, doplněné o jemný nádech spáleného dřeva. Závěr je kulatý, s přetrvávající kořeněnou sladkostí. --- English Demerara Distillers Ltd - Rum Nation is a rum from Guyana, celebrated for its rich flavor and complex aroma.

J’ai adoré son nez, avec un coter porto, boisé et fleuri. Je n’ai pas apprécié son goût.
