    Liquid demerara DNA, especially for mixing old Tiki recipes certainly a bank. On the nose for 75.5% surprisingly mild, taste but then somewhat alcoholic but not burning or particularly unpleasant. Very intense after dark, spicy molasses in pure form! Personally, it is just a bit too burnt, smoky and bitter. But in drinks as I said just the right profile that call for an authentic overproof demerara rum. Especially in corn'n'oil he makes himself fantastic. You can hardly get more spice in a drink with one ingredient.

    Difficult to get past the alcohol, but mostly caramel and brown sugar notes. On the palate it’s actually better then I expected: dark sweet molasses and heat from the alcohol. Glad I found a bottle to use for mixing and tiki drinks (a lot of recipes call for it), but had to try it neat first.

    This was quite a hassle to get my hands on. Nose predominately consists of dried and bitter notes. Dark demerara sugar followed by orange peel, baking spice mixture and a pinch of allspice. Some intricate tannins and nutty malt. It’s not very woody and doesn’t smell hot at all. Coconut and more dried fruits on the palate. Very forward on burnt and roasted notes: blackened sugar, charcoal and malt. It’s very dry and bitter, making it almost dirty. Finishes in burnt sugar and roasted notes. This is not really suited for sipping as it lacks true complexity and alcohol integration, but obviously this has great application in mixology.

    The "holy grail" for tiki drinks.
