Rum Nation Versailles Demerara 1990 25yr 45%

RX1435 Very good Pot Still Rum 850 bottles Under 250€
“Rich, dark fruit and spice; nice complexity, slightly over-diluted.”

Introducing the Demerara, a limited release rum from Guyana's Versailles distillery, selected and bottled by Rum Nation. This rare treasure, distilled in 1990 from molasses in a Single Wooden Pot Still and aged for 25 years, features a 45% ABV and only 850 bottles in circulation. With a woody and fruity aroma of prunes, sherry, dried fruit, and herbs, its flavors encompass herbal notes with anise, cherry, and a dry, woody finish. The community found this rum to have a beautiful nose, rich with dark and fruity notes, yet slightly lacking in complexity and intensity due to the dilution to 45%. Nevertheless, with its unique blend of Guyana aromas and flavors, the Demerara remains an enjoyable and well-crafted rum experience.

“A pretty OK rum but I know they can do far better. Not the best one by far from Rum Nation. The nose is nice and fruity with vanilla and oak. There is a hint of sherry in there as well. The palate is also fruity, a bit dry and slightly bitter with spices and oak. The finish is medium to long, dry and lightly bitter with raisins and vanilla/oak.”

“Sherry barrel aging complements the Versailles profile well. Nice nose with prune, wood, herbs and vanilla. I like the spicy palate as well. Not a complexity wonder, and lacks some power, but solidly made.”
