How does Corman Collins & The Auld Alliance Versailles Demerara Rum V VSG 1988 taste?
Elegant, dry Versailles slow-burner
If you like elegant, dry Demeraras that open slowly in the glass, this is a smart pick—Versailles character, long aging and moderate strength without aggressive alcohol.
Those wanting rich sweetness, big estery funk, or a very intense cask-strength experience; beginners may also find it a bit too dry and tannic.
Very nice 1988 AWM, refined and well balanced. Slightly too monolithic to hit the top

No rum for the sober palate. The Versailles profiles need with me 3-4cl until they arrive. First impression was not great with all. Later, however, they unfold some complexity. This one still seems slightly watered down.
Auto-translatedNot a loudmouth, rather a fine spirit. But I really like the nose, green apple, tic tac orange (if anyone still knows it), herbs, vanilla crescents, baking mix. (Slightly spicy) spice on the palate and plenty of barrel/tannins on the finish.
Auto-translatedA typical Versailles, yet very astringent and dry on the palate, in contrast to the nose.
