Rum Nation Demerara Solera No 14

Næse af kakao og kaffe. Smag af mørk chokolade og et strejf af kaffe. Jeg er ikke til kaffe og mørk chokolade, så derfor er den ikke noget for mig, men måske for andre med den smag. (15. December 2018 i MacY)

Smagt igen to gange i 2020: duft af rød frugt, karamel og mørk sukker. Lakrids i smag og mørk karamel. Tør finish, men også lakrids/peber. Bedre ved første smagning i 2020. 6 med pil op, mem anden gang meget kedelig og intetsigende så pil ned igen (14. December 2019 i MacY og 20. December 2020 i 1423) opdateret 2022: smager lidt som figenpålæg. Lakrids og lidt brændt. Nu igen med pil op.

App.
Brown to orange light.
Nose:
Sirop burnt caramel.
Taste:
This rhum is brown sugar and melasse.
Oaky and with a nice afterburn anf not being too sweet.
Very nice.

Doesn’t have the biggest smell, but it explode in your mouth with full of taste - a bit too sweet. Very nice rum!

Good tasting rum. Not overly strong and no aftertaste. A good sipping rum.

Krydret ikke så go eftersmag.
Næsten ingen sødme..

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.

Lovely brown/red in the glass.
Nice aroma, caramel, brown sugar, oak, maybe some tobacco.
Sift sipper. Again, the caramel, slightly oaky. Mild bite at the end. Taste fades away rather quickly.
Nice glass of rum.

Deep sweet and smokey flavours. But it is strong, not made for woman...

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
