Tasting at the festival Lemon Hart 151 proof, as I understand it should be old Demerara. Quality. The kind sailors would drink, so to speak :) Well! With all the love for Demerara. This was a bit too much. Full of impressions of licorice and burnt sugar. In my opinion, unpleasant. Maybe those around me knew the bottle and were really excited about it. A piece of history. But I wasn't that impressed. It felt sweetened and many laughed at that statement. There are some ripe fruits. Chocolate. But the alcohol is felt here. Hard to overcome the burnt sugar/licorice. Thanks for the privilege, but less so.

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.
