How does this rum taste?
The Demerara Rum Wildlife Series No. 1, distilled in Guyana in 1974 and bottled by Silver Seal, boasts 28 years of aging. At an ABV of 68.5%, this limited-edition rum, with only 470 bottles, is celebrated for its complex aroma featuring tobacco and leather with smoky undertones.

Un rhum très fonçé d’aspect. Un nez avec un alcool très bien intégré, avec du boisé et du fumé, du Porto, des agrumes. Un nez à la fois monolithique et complexe. Une bouche avec des tannins, très boisée, fumée, amère avec du végétal qui amène de la fraîcheur. Un net goût de réglisse (bois doux). En finale toujours des agrumes, de la fumée et de la réglisse. Cette amertume et ce boisé me font penser au Caroni Velier 1994 Guyana Stock. Le verre vide est magnifique avec des parfums de vieille maison en bois patinée et encaustiquée. Merci Dr Django pour le sample.
Heavy and dark Guyana flavors, wood, licorice with a toch of maggi. An intoxicating perfume. A touch of bitterness. No astringency. Perfect balance. Perfect rum to celebrate our engagement. What a moment in life 😍 @Dr.Django thanks for the tasting opportunity 💍❤️🥃
A wonderful rum and I'm happy to have a backup bottle on my shelf. Wonderfully balanced and full bodied, if you get the chance give it a go.
Amazing nose with a perfect balance between round and bitter notes. Unfortunately, palate is way more bitterish and feels a bit unbalanced. A pitty for such legendary rum. Not a bad one though and I'm still very happy I tasted such legend.
