How does this rum taste?
The Hamilton 151 Ministry of Rum Collection Overproof Demerara River is a robust spirit from Guyana, distilled from molasses and flaunting a hefty 75.5% ABV. It is renowned for its intense nose of molasses, chocolate, and coffee with a palate dominated by woody and spicy notes. Ideal for Tiki cocktails, this rum is celebrated for its distinctive Demerara profile, delivering a punchy, sweet experience with a noticeable alcoholic kick. While praised for its powerful flavors and cocktail versatility, some find it lacks depth. RumX users especially appreciate its ability to enhance mixed drinks with its bold presence.

Chocolate hits the nape straight away and that demera delight ... Typical notes of demera on the nose ... Heaven scents of butterscotch... Taste is that typical oak smokiness that is divine wow such a delight to drink.. I only had a small dram so didn't cocktail this but man the UK needs to import this ...
Really cool dirty overproof Demerara Rum. Pure molasses taste, certainly makes a top figure in tiki cocktails. Must buy me sometime. Horny device!
Punchy and hot. The nose brings coffee, tobacco, leather, orange peel. On the palate the heat hits first but there is sweetness and depth - leather, tobacco, earthy, licorice. Not one that I could imagine casually sipping neat, but it is nice experience to sip in a small quantity and has a really clearly defined profile. It also goes great with Pepsi and in cocktails, bring lots of flavour.
Molto potente, con un retrogusto di dolcezza…caramello aggiunto?
