    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.

    "A woody nose with notes of coffee and dark chocolate, but also a herbaceous side with tobacco and tea and fruits such as bitter cherry. I don't find this complexity on the palate, which is a shame! The palate is dominated by woody, bitter notes of cedarwood and tobacco. A little molasses too. The finish is rather short, still on bitterness and cedar wood, with a hint of licorice and prune. An interesting, easy-drinking rum with fine flavors, but a little simple and lacking in depth."

    "Certainly not a sipper but for me an essential bottle when mixing (TIKI) cocktails. The OFTD is really no substitute here. Already because he is not a pure Demerara like this. No gourmet rum but a tropically matured Demerara with a little rough taste but horny (and cheap) for cocktails. Unfortunately, with us not to have."

    "Really cool dirty overproof Demerara Rum. Pure molasses taste, certainly makes a top figure in tiki cocktails. Must buy me sometime. Horny device!"

    "Baking spices and wood with a hint of citrus on the nose. Certainly not coffee I would drink, but a certain 2nd wave coffee expression. Punchy and sweet on the palate with a hint of salt. Long, pleasant dark chocolate finish."
