8.5/10

I have recently started buying Samaroli because I like what the whisky barrels do to their rums. This one is no exception as their eis a clearly defined whisky and malt note to it. Slightly dry and lightly bitter with vanilla. I'd say this one is for a serious rum drinker like me :-)

8.9/10

Old wood, drawer bottoms, grandma's coffee grinder - that's the first impression. It's an immediate trip back in time! White pepper, herbs, vinegar and a hint of dried fruit (perhaps apricot) come through with a little aeration. Once again, insane complexity. On the palate, it's a complete meal: volcanic rock minerality, oregano, spices, pear and pepper. Are we around the barbecue cooking pizza? Surely. It's a little confusing, but very cool. Very long, very complex finish, mixtures of oregano and pepper, on a background of old wood. Enormous.

Nice sipper with dark fruits, vanilla & brown sugar. Hardly any wood influence. A bit thin and short finish.

Demerara Distillers Ltd 

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 250 Rums

Demerara Distillers is the company that ended up holding everything. As Guyana's only surviving rum maker, its Diamond plant runs the world's last wooden pot stills and the last wooden Coffey still alongside modern columns, draws 24 different marks from them, and blends them into El Dorado. It is also the reason most Demerara on the shelf comes from one address.
