    6.8/10 16 reviews

    This one has neither the abrasive burnt tones of Skipper demerara nor the smoothness and roundness of the El Dorado expressions. It’s a good cocktail rum for a relatively neutral demerara taste (but do you really want that?) but kind of hard to recommend given the options.

    Farba mahagón Vôňa karamel, káva, drevo vlažské orechy, sladkosť vanilka, Chuť karamel, drevo, horkosť, káva, vlašáky, mierne vodový alkohol nie je silne cítiť ale integrácia by mohla byť lepšia Záver stredne dlhý karamel, drevo, horkosť

    Bought is as a mixer when I was trying to find a 151 Demerara (but that’s close to impossible over here) Neat it’s very straight forward, but has no depth or complexity in the flavor. Useable mixer, but not convincing.

    Has of course something of Demerara... strong memories of the engine room in the ship - diesel and heavy oil... who likes it... theoretically good replacement to the Pusser's in Painkiller... but does not fit at all ...
