Old Vatted Demerara (OVD) Dark

Its very nice but when revisited the "cold coffee" tastes becomes a bit cloying

A nice mixer, or on the rocks, but a little harsh and indistinct neat. I think as a demerara rum, it works well in cocktails too. A good one to have on the shelf!

Wiederum ein sehr schöner Rum um bei der Cocktailrunde mal einen anderen Rum aus dem Hut zu ziehen.

being Scottish I had to try o.v.d it does have a strong smokey taste but is nice to drink.

A bit thin and volatile when drunk straight up or on ice. Best served with cola. About as good as Bacardi is to white rums.

Lovely stuff. What I usually go for. Smoky taste full of molasses, brown sugar and treacle. Lovely neat but best with cola.

This is another good dark rum that wont break the bank. Very rich in treacle and caramel with a rich burnt sugar thickness to it. Great with cola, ginger, and with cream soda it tastes like a creme caramel desert. Of the dark rums I prefer however, this isn't one I would drink straight as it can be a little too bitter. overall not a bad dark rum.

Nothing special for the price of it... Lacks in flavour and any quality

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).

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
