RX2897Excellent
“Potent rum with bold flavors and mellow ABV.”

Cadenhead's 'REV' is a distinctive rum crafted in Guyana's Versailles Distillery, distilled in 1994 using a Single Wooden Pot Still. Aged for 11 years, it merges rich molasses and oak with earthy notes of prunes, leather, and plum. The 70% ABV is surprisingly well-integrated, delivering a powerful yet harmonious spirit. Blending complex flavors of smoky wood, fruit, and spices, this rum is celebrated for its balance and depth, characteristic of the renowned Guyana profile. Despite its intense alcohol presence, it’s highly appreciated for its rich aroma and taste synergy. Best enjoyed with a splash of water to fully explore its nuances, this exemplary rum captivates seasoned palates with its bold character and velvety finish.

“REV in brute - the fruitiness recedes somewhat into the background, but the powerful presence comes to the fore a little more strongly. The alcohol is well integrated, the profile is great fun - excellent.”

“Impressive Guyana profile with impressively deep plum fruit and leather en masse. The alcohol is very present, unfortunately a bit too present; apart from that, absolute top class.”
