Old Vatted Demerara (OVD) Dark

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

Lovely smooth buttery molasses laden rum.Great on a winter evening with friends

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.

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

love the label its simple
the rum is strong and powerful and u will enjoy around a fire on a stormy night
Get into it :)

If you're on a night out in Scotland then this will be the standard dark rum you'll be served. It's got notes of molasses and a small amount of sweetness, but these are limited. Taken neat then it's a bit fiery, most people take this with a mixer; it serviceable but nothing special.

I can't help but feel it's overpriced. Locally I can get this for £20, but if you like Demerara rum then Watson's Demerara is available at £17.50 and, in my opinion, is a far better rum. To be honest I find it has less taste than Co-op Navy Rum which is available at £14. Budget taste, but mid-range price.

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).

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

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.

Great for rum and coke but can't say I've ever drink it straight. May try it some day.
