Approachable cask strength Demerara For curious explorers ready for higher proof, this unsweetened 12-year Savalle Still Demerara brings plum, raisin, ginger spice and light chocolate at 57.8% ABV. RumX members call it an easy yet characterful sipper and strong value entry into cask strength Guyana rums.
Demerara fans and bourbon drinkers who want an approachable, affordable step into cask strength Guyana rum with plum, raisin and gentle chocolate rather than heavy wood or funk.
Those sensitive to higher ABV or looking for very dark, heavy, ultra-complex Guyana profiles; also not ideal if you prefer sweetened dessert-style rums.

29.03.2022 Sampling a bit at home. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, light, light floral, plum, light orange, faint leather, spice. Palate Light oily, fresh, round, light wood, faint smoke, plum, faint cherry, spice, medium spicy. Finish Long and warm, light wood, spicy, dried fruit, faint chocolate.
Review by Nathaniel Bloch
Good to let it seat for a little bit. On the nose: ginger and also sweetness as candyfloss, cream with peach or melon The mouth is clearly ginger with it spiceness, and has en evolution toward caramel custard and raisins The final is in the same continuity as the mouth, but with the ginger becoming more pepper and the sweetness of caramel evolving to a light wood dryness. Not the rum of the year, but still a very nice and interesting that I think will make an excellent daily rum, especially value wise, given the affordable price
Review by DomM
Really needs some time to breath to get past alcoholic notes on the nose. You will be rewarded with a pleasant nose along the lines of sweetness/sugar, raisins and milk chocolate.
Review by Werni
Anfangs in der Nase recht verhalten, er brauch seine Zeit sich zu entfalten, doch dann kommt er sehr lecker. Für den Ausgabepreis echt top. Ein leichter Rum der sich nicht verstecken muss. Guyana ist halt meins. 😋
Review by Rodolphe
Un bon demerara que je trouve assez typique de cette Colonne avec son coté Pruneau/raisin bien marqué. Mais il lui manque un peu de complexité et un le coté "sombre" qui me plait tellement dans certains rums du Guyana.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This ICBU Mark has similarities to the SWR, similar chocolate nougat caramel notes but without the dark bitterness of the colored SWR. Along with that, fruitier, wineier notes come through more clearly. You can tell this is a relatively young Demerara and the alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Not much else happens on the finish either, unfortunately.This Savalle is a very relaxed easy sipper for me. Accessible and round, somewhat one dimensional and a very good value for money. I like him very much, but he is a rather simple rum.
Review by passlemix
Au nez l'alcool est un peu présent mais pas trop agressif. C'est un nez doux sur les zestes d'agrumes (mandarine, kumquat) et le chocolat au lait. Un léger fumé en bouche avec un côté très légèrement salin. On est plus sur le raisin. Un sucre bien présent aussi. Pointe d'amertume en fin de bouche sans que ça soit dérangeant. La finale est plaisante et un peu piquante. Je n'ai pas une grande expérience des demerara mais ça donne envie de poursuivre.
