"Love the 151 and this is my favorite Guyanese I’ve had. More versatile than its older brother."

"Reminds me of Appleton. Would think if a recipe calls for separate Demerara and another Jamaican rum to maybe skip this one."

"Demerara rum gets a lot of hype, but it really isn't very exciting. This rum is just fine. I can sip it neat, but I prefer something with more flavor. I only buy this for mixing at parties because of it's low price."

"Not bad; I kind of want it stronger, but I guess that's what the 151 is for."
