Silver Seal Demerara Rum Wildlife Series No. 1

RumX drinkers agree this is an intense, mature Demerara loaded with woody, chocolate, and port-like layers. One to try if you enjoy truly complex, dark rums.

9.5  / 10  (15 reviews)

Chocolate, oak, and port—richly complex, warm, perfectly balanced.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Extremely complex but smooth
    • Very woody but so fantastically balanced
    • Alcohol is very well integrated

    Demerara Rum Wildlife Series No. 1 is a heavyweight Guyanese spirit aged 32 years, drawing frequent praise on RumX for its deep chocolate, pronounced oak, and port wine character. Fans highlight notes of candied walnut, nutty chocolate, rich caramel, and an oily texture. Mopar Rules calls it "a symphony of flavors" while Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰 describes it as "wonderful yet kind of light, setting off with fruits and some varnish." The ABV is high but surprisingly integrated—DutchRumPirate notes a “very warm glow through my mouth.”

    "Having this one on my upper shelf, where all the yummy stuff is always makes me happy. I have retasted it and compared to my old notes. This time it got a few more points. This is a very heavy rum that needs a frop of water and a rest before you give it a go. The nose is wonderful yet kind of light, setting off with fruits and some varnish before serving nuts, chocolate and spices before ending it with oak. The palate is, now hold on, a well balanced and complex experience. Bitter and dry at the same time and it draws nice oily curtains. Lots of fruit topped with caramel, spices and smoky oak."

    "Extrem hohe Qualität, allerdings mit einer mir zu wenig zusagenden rauchigen Note."
