    How does this rum taste?

    Denizen Merchant’s Reserve is a versatile rum crafted from sugar cane juice and distilled using a pot still, offering a unique blend ideal for tiki cocktails. Aged for 8 years, it boasts an ABV of 43%. The aroma is rich with notes of parfum, banana, and tropical fruits, followed by hints of dried fruit and demerara sugar. The taste is characterized by buttery tones and tropical fruit flavors, with underlying funk and coconut elements. While some find it "hot" neat, it's often praised for enhancing Mai Tai cocktails, making it a valuable addition to a bar. Users appreciate its complexity and affordability, though not everyone recommends it as a sipping rum.

    Way too reduced for my taste. I’m very happy to have been able to sample this rum thoug. Many thanks Adrian 🙂

    Scored as a sipper, not as a mixer. Makes a great mai-tai.

    To me this is good neat but mixed it makes the greatest mai tai possible for under $500 lol
