How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the evocative Demerara nose: dried fruit and prunes, caramel, toasted notes and old wood with a hint of spice. The palate brings caramel, vanilla and molasses over gentle barrel toast. Several reviewers find it lighter or a bit diluted, yet the finish leans medium-long with woody, leathery touches. With 10 reviews and growing interest, it’s a fascinating historic Guyanese pour to explore.

Wow, was wieder für ein schöner alter Rum. Bringt eigentlich alles mit und sogar ein bisschen mehr was man erwartet. Wenn er nicht so dünn und verwässert dann doch geschmeckt hätte, wäre einiges an Punkten noch mehr drin gewesen, aber die typischen Marker sind vorhanden.
Sample bei RhumAuction auf dem GRF eingepackt. An der Nase vielversprechend: Viele Trockenfruchte, tolle Grundfruchtigkeit mit dunklen Beeren, Karamell, Holz, Vanille. Am Gaumen dann leider doch etwas zu dünn und verwässert. Die schöne Nase zieht ih aber für mich gerade noch über die 8
Un nez de Demerara avec beaucoup de vieux bois verni, de la mélasse, du pruneau et du cuir. On ne sent pas l’âge de ce ce vénérable rhum embouteillé dans les années 30. En bouche un côté très fumé, de la douceur (mélasse) du vieux bois verni. La finale est plutôt longue, avec une amertume boisée marquée. Une certaine émotion en buvant ce rhum d’une centaine d’années. J’imagine un vieux château avec un feu de cheminée.
