31.01.2026 Killing my last sample of this release and I still love it 🥰 ---------- This is one of the best demerara rums I have had. Heavy, intense and balanced at the same time. Fruits and spices in a perfect dnace with some chocolate and a hint of rubber. The finish is medium to long with wonderful wood spices and dried fruit. I still remember that the day after the empty glass had the most wonderful aromas.

Old Guyana meets smoke - this also happens in other releases, but none of the releases convinces me as much as this one. I will continue not to be a fan of this earthy-smoky profile in the finish, but that is purely subjective - I equally recognize the excellent complexity and balance as well as the high quality of the release and consequently cannot help but give a rating in the top range, even if my absolute Demerara favorites are found elsewhere.

Beautiful 1971 Enmore. But the one with 71.8% is even a bit more awesome.

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.
