How does this rum taste?
Produced in Guyana at the renowned Diamond distillery, "Savalle Still ICBU" rum is a limited release with only 406 bottles. Aged for 12 years, this Demerara rum is distilled from molasses and bottled at cask strength (57.8% ABV). Users note its distinct flavors of ginger, raisin, and Demerara sugar, with a nose of young wood, dried fruit, and milk chocolate. While some find its complexity slightly lacking, many appreciate its balance and value. Hints of wood and smoke add a subtle dimension, making it a desirable choice for both seasoned and new rum enthusiasts. Perfect as a daily sipper, it delivers a surprisingly smooth experience for a high-proof spirit.

29.03.2022 Sampling a bit at home. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, light, light floral, plum, light orange, faint leather, spice. Palate Light oily, fresh, round, light wood, faint smoke, plum, faint cherry, spice, medium spicy. Finish Long and warm, light wood, spicy, dried fruit, faint chocolate.
Flat nose, but all the more complex on the palate. Very nicely balanced with a great finish. The alcohol is also well integrated. Wood and smoke notes are clearly in the background. For just under 50 € very worthwhile to start in the world of Demarara rums in cask strength.
This ICBU Mark has similarities to the SWR, similar chocolate nougat caramel notes but without the dark bitterness of the colored SWR. Along with that, fruitier, wineier notes come through more clearly. You can tell this is a relatively young Demerara and the alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Not much else happens on the finish either, unfortunately.This Savalle is a very relaxed easy sipper for me. Accessible and round, somewhat one dimensional and a very good value for money. I like him very much, but he is a rather simple rum.
Really needs some time to breath to get past alcoholic notes on the nose. You will be rewarded with a pleasant nose along the lines of sweetness/sugar, raisins and milk chocolate.
