This rum is currently being offered by one of our verified auction house partners. RumX helps you discover and bid on rare rums.
How does this rum taste?
Most love its huge, dark Demerara profile, balance and intensity. A few find metallic/medicinal edges and a slightly weaker finish. Overall consensus: a world‑class, characterful Diamond release.
If you already enjoy classic Velier Demeraras or heavy Enmore/Port Mourant styles, this pushes those dark licorice, chocolate and leather notes further in a concentrated, collector-worthy way.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to 53% ABV or medicinal/metallic tones, and drinkers seeking light, easygoing sweetness rather than dense, dry, oak-driven intensity.

Tasted at German Rum Festival 13 For me, this is the best rum i have tasted so far. Absolutely perfectly balanced in terms of taste and alcohol. Fantastic
Incredibly cool device! Dried fig, prune, aged balsamic vinegar, subtle mint and thyme, acacia honey, a little dark chocolate and some rum raisins... Epic! Probably one of the best Guyana rums I've ever tasted to date...
Wow this is a wonderful rum! I don't want to let the fact that this is a unicorn rum make me over rate it but it really is stunning! The smell just leaped out of the glass at me, very intense. On the palate it is just lovely, this is how it all should be! A lovely dark sweetness, licorice, dark chocolate, fruits, leather, lovely oak without being bitter, this is close to perfection for me! Oh and the colour! Beautiful dark mahogany. Long and spicy finish. Well, for my first Velier Demerara I am impressed I hope it keeps up. This is the highest score I have awarded a rum to date, I think it's deserving😊
The best Demerara rum I have tried. The nose is sublime, the finish is long and the complexity is like nothing I have drunk before.
