Old Vatted Demerara (OVD) Dark

Wonderful scent of Demerara when opening the bottle. Deep dark colour with initial sweetness then alcohol and back to Demerara. Really like this drink straight and for a 40% this has a strong nature to it.

The rum one drinks in Scotland in the pub with a splash of Coke.

I have been drinking Rum ( neat ) for just over a year now and my taste and appreciation keeps changing. I initially disliked this dark Rum very much, but........................... I have had it a few times now ( it is the main Rum that Pubs in my town stock) and have grown to really enjoy it as a sipper. Perfectly sweet, no a great diversity of flavours, but just a really honest, good value for money, Dark Rum.

Lehká, kávově kakaová vůně. Chuť opět jasná kávová stopa. Neštípe a celkově to není špatné.

Very rich chocolate flavours, OK to have one but would get sickly after that

Great rum for the money. Clean taste that doesnt excite you, nor bores you.

My first rum 30 odd years ago .classic rum great in coke guaranteed to get in most pubs.nothing fancy , old favourite

Not as rich as Wood's but I'd prefere it to the Skipper's. As mentioned by Eigon, it could be a bit stronger which maybe would give it some more profile. But it is a good smoky Demerara with molasses and full aroma. Very good in cocktails, medium sipper...

This is a very dark rum, and has a nice smooth taste it. You can get a real Demerara taste. I found this on Amazon only £15, so an excellent bargain.
Would recommend

Probably could be a 4, but as it is easy and soft, it is OK at best. Too treacly, too unsophisticated, too expensive for what it is, too short (flavour).I don't particularly like rum mixed, but am sure that this would make a good mixer. But it is soft and easy and inoffensive (damning with faint praise).
