How does this rum taste?
The Demerara Single Cask Rum SVC, crafted at Guyana's Diamond Distillery and bottled by The Taste of Rum, is a masterful display of rich flavors and complexity. Distilled in 1996, this molasses-based rum aged for over 26 years in a single cask, yielding just 190 bottles at cask strength with an ABV of 47.3%. Tasting notes reveal an intense blend of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and coffee with undertones of varnish. On the palate, expect burnt sugar, rich espresso, and woody nuances, balanced with surprising intensity despite its relatively low ABV. It offers a versatile profile praised for its depth and unique aging character.

Orange peel on the nose, a hint of essential oils, cola, herbal notes, floor wax, old barrel. Caramel, malt, dark chocolate on the palate. Very intense despite the low ABV. Only the finish is not super long. I quite like this one!
Christmas Meeting 2023 Secret Santa Sample Thank you mto75 I also liked this one very much. The longer it was in the glass, the better it got. I feel honored to be able to taste it. A completely different Guyana league. Thank you very much
Great, very dark color. Tobacco on the nose, plenty of espresso, chocolate and a hint of powdered plum and liquorice. I like it very much. It continues in a similar way on the palate. A great, continental matured Demerara. Warm, tart, powerful and yet very balanced. I haven't had many old Demeraras from the 70s, but this one reminds me strongly of them. Thanks to Bonn for this great sample 😀😀😀
Wow, very cool Savalle profile with heavy coffee, chocolate, dark sugar and dried fruit notes with varnish and licorice. The ABV is surprisingly sufficient and well integrated. Even as a great advocate of tropical maturation, I have to pay tribute to this continental rum. Very good.
