Tento výrazný rum zrál v dubových sudech 12 let a mícháním dosáhl jemné síly a bohatosti, s nádhernou barvou a plnou kořeněnou vůní s náznaky svěžího jižního ovoce a opečených toastů, s kulatým, měkkým, plným tělem opět se sílou ovoce, tabáku a pomerančové kůry, s příchutí dubu.
I enjoy this rum, but it is far too sweet. It's a shame there is so much sugar added because it really throws off the taste

Un petit a priori sur ce rum guyannais mais c'est une très belle découverte. très bien équilibré
Perfect rum! My favorite rum now. Absolutely balanced. Not sweet but sweetness is barely caught. The taste of the barrel is hardly noticeable in the smell, too. Fabulous. Must drink to all -)))
Its my best rum till now. Nice fruity citrus smell and taste.

I enjoyed this rum, its just that I was shocked at how much sugar was added to this. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Seale, but for something like Guyana rum, I want that strong navy punch with rich syrup flavour, and although there is a smooth sugary taste, I'm not sure if its the rum or the dosage. All in all, good price for a 12 year old, but there are better Demerara Rums out there, and worth the extra dollars for less dosage and more ABV.

Surprisingly sweet taste, not so complex, beautiful color, great rum for beginners.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.
Would have given it an 8 a couple years back but having tried stuff that really blew me away in the meantime, I just can't. Don't get me wrong however, this is a real nice sipper. One of the cornerstones of rum drinking, so to speak. So it's a mandatory experience.

So, I finally purchased this instead of my go to 15yr old seeing quite few reviews rave about this. After trying several glasses of this in my opinion it just isn't quite there. It needs the extra 3yrs of aging that makes the 15yr old stand out. The price was right at $30 but I will be back to the 15yr old immediately for the extra $15. You get what you pay for!
This rum is a pleasure for the taste buds.
I highly recommend it.

This is NOT a great example of Demerara. Too much sweetening done - It covers flavours badly. The age statement is hard to believe from taste, no oak present. Just burned molasses, and sugars.
