     Lots of glue on the nose - almost like a Long Pond TECA. Demerara notes paired with ester and sherry on the palate. Wow, this is really fun. A real experience!

     The spiciness kills everything. Even after 1 hour of "breathing". That is a pity. I still wonder why alcoholic cask strength produces such a pungency. This is much better integrated in whisky. Not a delicacy. If you like glue, you should drink glue. Of course, you can't blame Demerara Distillers for bad spirit. Too many aldehydes! Methanol? Formaldehyde? Preliminary explanation: maturing conditions at high temperatures. Water evaporates more than alcohol.

     unglaublich guter und schöner enmore! neue Fassstärke Referenz für mich! krass intensive Oloroso Sherry Noten, dazu nach 2-3 Tropfen Wasser eine schöne Menthol Minz frische, dazu Honig-Banane, maoam Cola kracher, salzige Oloroso Sherry Nuss-Rosinen Noten, und unglaublich smooth und fruchtig, dick und ölig. Nicht zu viel Holz wie sonst bei enmore und einfach extrem harmonisch! Fett! Zur Abwechslung Mal ein gelungenes finish von rum nation, was nicht den Rum komplett dominiert.

     Blind tasting, therefore unfortunately only so not at all meaningful photo. [Update, see note below] And unfortunately also the disappointment of the evening. The rum simply doesn't taste at all, and certainly not like a time-honored Guyana rum. How do the many outstanding ratings come about? A real shame. Update 2024-03-09: Tasted again, this time at the Catawiki stand at the "Pueblo del ron" - and, I'm sorry, failed again. But now I know that I tasted exactly this rum in the blind tasting at the time. It's simply too sour for me. I really wonder what kind of Guyana marque this is supposed to be.
