    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this dark, classic Demerara profile: prunes, leather and varnished wood lifted by allspice. On the palate, prunes, vanilla and oak lead to a dry, balanced finish with a gentle vegetal bitterness. Selected by Samaroli from Demerara Distillers (1994, 11 years, 45%; 346 bottles), it shows surprising nose intensity; many suggest letting it rest in the glass. With 21 reviews and rising trust, it's a confident pick.

    little dark, steady with slightly dull. good low-abv Demerara, although it could be higher. I prefer those stronger because the features come out better, but it's still worth sipping and appreciating.

    This is a lovely Samaroli once it has rested for 15-20 minutes. I would have loved a higher ABV because I think it would have blown it out there. The nose is fruity with molasses, leather, licorice and wood. The palate is warm and dry with fruits and lovely earthy notes as well as spices, licorice and oak. The finish is medium to long and dry with wood, dried fruit and spices.
