Old Sam Rhum Demerara

a newfoundland favorite. great with coke or on the rocks

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.

If you don't like sweet dark rum, then this one isn't for you. It has a brown sugary taste with earthy notes. One of my favorite coke mixers. I've yet to try another like it.

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!

Not my usual drink but a decent drink with cola. Sometimes a little thick on the glass edge and stomach.

Love the bottle and old fashioned label but it's bit in your face.

And Richard, it is in Saskatoon now. I bought my bottle at the Co-op Liquor Store on the westside.

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.

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.
