How does this rum taste?
O.V.D. Old Vatted Demerara, crafted by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana, is a 7-year-old rum distilled from molasses with an ABV of 40%. It's characterized by prominent leather, oak, and caramel aromas, complemented by woody and currant undertones. On the palate, it delivers a strong caramel and woody flavor with notable oak and barrel notes. Users describe the rum as having a solid flavor profile with dominant wooden and caramel notes, though some find it lacking in punch due to its modest alcohol content and softer finish. Perfect for mixing in cocktails, this Guyanese rum embodies the typical regional flavors, though some may find it slightly flat compared to other Demerara offerings.

1980 better this slightly more watery and less woody. Vanilla and molasses. But also nothing special
Solid price-performance ratio. Very strong wood tones. Just typical of guyana in my opinion. Too little percent
Decent taste with wodden notes a bit burned. Unfortunately quite soft finishing
