How does this rum taste?
Demerara Rum from Guyana’s Versailles Distillery, bottled by Rum Nation, is aged for 25 years, distilled in 1990, presenting a rare, vintage offering with only 850 bottles available. It features a 45% ABV, highlighting rich, woody aromas complemented by prunes and herbal tones. The distinct sherry finish is evident, adding complexity to its dry, herbal profile. Users appreciate its warm, dark character and diverse spice and fruit flavors, although some note its diluted palate due to lower ABV. This rum is distinguished by an intricate balance of wood, herbs, and undercurrent of anise and cherry, offering a medium-to-long, slightly bitter finish. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a unique tasting experience.

Tolle Nase! Am Gaumen fehlen ihm leider ein paar Prozente. Ich mag aber den dunklen, dreckigen Charakter!
A nice dark spicy nose with the fruitiness of raisins, prune And dried sulfured apricot. This then adds a pleasant acidity of currant. Slightly leathery and dry wood brings in some more vanilla and nutmeg.The palate has a concentrated, salty-bitter-spicy attack. Malty, woody, again with nutmeg and some vanilla transitioning to anise. Flattened but unfortunately also quickly, which is certainly due to the dilution to 45%. In the finish spicy with anise, slightly bitter and some tea.nice nose, but unfortunately a little short...
Delicious. Unfortunately, I notice the dilution. Otherwise there would certainly have been more in it.
A delicious drop. I have dark fruit with this one. Prunes marinated in chestnut honey. On the palate it shows a lot of spices in addition to the sweetness, the wood comes through and the finish is accompanied by candied sugar, even if it is of medium length, probably due to the alcohol. A few % more would have done it good. But all in all a great rum
