Rum Nation Demerara Solera No 14

Til en pris under kr. 300 havde jeg ikke så store forventninger, men synes det er en virkelig lækker rom. Dufter lidt af jamaica! Smager af farin og nødder, lidt lakrids og abrikos. Et fint "burn" af alkohol afslutter smagen, på grænsen til at blive sprittet, men uden at overtræde helt!

A dark reddish amber fills the glass. The potent aroma gives of notes of candied apples, tobacco, sweet english liquorice, cocoa, burnt brow sugar and perhaps a hint of citrus. Nice.
The taste is medium bodied and way sweeter than what the nose led me to expect. There's notes of cocoa, coffee, liquorice roots, lemon zest and slightly spicy tingles at the end. Can't help thinking what a shame it is to overpower an otherwise interesting rum, with added sugar.

Just another one for the collection. Found this very cheap in a danish store, so what not to like?

I do belive this one got a new bottle, so i have include a new picture :)

Sød krydret/pebret smag. Eftersmag af kaffe og lakrids. 40%

Oh Lord thank you for this great Demerara rum. I really loved this one. The first sip I took was meeting with some sweet caramel taste. I let it rest for a while and got some citrus, more caramel and definitely some oak. I find it better than the El Dorado 12 and to my opinion it is well worth comparing with the El Dorado 15 and even better because the oak isn't as dominant as the El Dorado 15. It works very well with some chocolate. Tasty!!!

Great Rum!! Give it a try is my recommendation!!

Sattes Kupferfarbenes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase elegant und ausgewogen. Frisch gebackene Vanille Brötchen aus dem Holzofen mit frischen Früchten, ein wenig Karamell und Gewürzkräuter gefüllt. Im Hintergrund spielt eine Holzfass Band sanfte Melodien.
Am Gaumen warm und weich, ein weicher Teppich voller Aromen wird auf der Zunge ausgerollt. Vanillecreme mit frisch geschnittenen Früchten, Mango, Banane und Melone wird mit einem karamellisiertem Holzlöffel genüsslich verspiesen.
Im Abgang sind Holz und Karamell ein wenig länger auf der Zunge.
Ein unspektakulärer Solera Rum der dennoch schmeckt. Für Einsteiger und Solera Liebhaber.

Rich copper amber in the glass.
Elegant and balanced on the nose. Freshly baked vanilla buns from the wood oven filled with fresh fruit, a little caramel and spicy herbs. A wooden barrel band plays gentle melodies in the background.
Warm and soft on the palate, a gentle carpet of flavors is rolled out on the tongue. Vanilla cream with fresh cut fruit, mango, banana and melon is savored with a caramelized wooden spoon.
On the finish, the wood and caramel linger a bit longer on the tongue.
An unspectacular Solera rum that nevertheless tastes good. For beginners and Solera lovers.

Haven't tried other Demerara rums except for El Dorado, but this really gives me an idea of what that style can bring to the table. Very earthy and powerful but still with a very grape-like sweetness to it, with notes of chocolate and liqorice. A bit difficult, but once you get used to it it feels just right

The Rum appears having some more body to it. Even do it has a long nice aftertaste of plums and raisin. Rum is different as you now base on have to store it. This on old sherry burrels and gives the taste.

The nose is terrible.. But the taste is fair.. The finish leaves me with a whole barrel stuck in my mouth.. Which drag the points down.. Great value for the buck though..

Dva prv skúšané rumy tejto značky (10-ročná Panama a 8-ročný Barbados) ma príliš neoslovili, boli dosť sladké a málo komplexné (vanilka, karamel), s krátkym zakončením. Dotretice skúšam Demeraru Solera No 14. Fľaša identická, len s krajšou etiketou, farba je tentoraz veľmi tmavá, gaštanovohnedá. Vôňa je intenzívna, cítiť silný závan sherry, korenie a tiež ťažké prezreté, resp. kandizované ovocie, hlavne slivky. V chuti je oproti skôr spomenutým už oveľa viac cítiť dubové tóny, je zrejmé, že ide o blend starších rumov. Na pozadí dominuje "slivovicový" základ, no v atraktívnej, nerušivej miere. Trochu mi to pripomína El Dorado 12Y, je to všetko namiešané tak akurát, vo veľmi prijateľnej forme. Záver je vcelku dlhý, na konci trochu vystúpi etanolový štípanec. Subjektívne niečo medzi 7 a 8, napokon volím nižšiu hodnotu kvôli citeľnému dochucovaniu (viac cukru) a aktuálne vyššej cene.
