Old Sam Rhum Demerara

The best Demerara I've found but sadly not available where I live (Saskatchewan). Any time I travel Young's Old Sam comes back with me. The only Demerara the local government liquor stores stock is Lemon Hart so that's my substitute and the occssional Caribbean.

I don't know what the others are saying this is great stuff.

I have drunk this rum for the last 10 years and it seems to be getting quite scarce here in BC......making me quite nervous.

a newfoundland favorite. great with coke or on the rocks

The label and twist cap make this look ghetto. I was so surprised to taste something this nice.

This is a really sweet rum. It’s like drinking boozy molasses- which sounds delicious to me.

It’s really more like a 7, but I’m giving it a +1 bump for a great price. Here in BC it is about as cheap as they come, but it’s better than many of the more expensive rums.

This stuff is GOOD! A nutty flavor, along with the usual molasses and caramel and brown-sugar characteristics - mix this stuff with Coke and it kinda tastes like root beer. (need vanilla ice-cream and have floats!) Pretty darn sweet-tasting and not much spice but that's okay, once in a while, too. Just need lots of ice!

Step1: find rum section in local liquor store.
Step2: look at bottom shelf, for cheap looking label and screw on cap.
Step3: have your mind blown.

It's dark, sweet, delicious, and I passed it by so many times! I'm glad I found this site, because I would have missed out on this amazing rum.

The packaging actually do a great injustice to this product, making it look like a low quality hooch rather than a delicious mixer and sipper. This one is enjoyable on rocks or not, mixed or straight. Its sweet, oh Lord yes, but such a great flavour and nose.

Notes of molasses, spice, leather, and wood, and a pleasant and smooth bit of burn.

I tried this in a dark and stormy, and preferred it over Goslings. This is definitely going to stay in stock at my home.

A minimalist label belies the quality of this excellent Demerara. This rum has a unique reddish colour. A very bold molasses flavour stands out on the first taste and then mellows out with subsequent sips. The assertive flavours and sweet after taste make this rum enjoyable for sipping yet it will come through anything its gets mixed with.

Rich Carmel and coffee, toffee tones, it reminded me of a candy your grandparents kept in an metal tin.

Those who like it like it a lot. One of my friends has the logo tattooed on his leg. Good but not tattoo worthy. Nice sipper. Like how it sticks to the glass.
