“The best rum in this world” proclaims the 30′s style label. Finest Old Demerara from Guyana. This is a blend of 7 dark rums aged in Guyana for at least 3 years. According to the bottle this is a naval style rum. This rum (and seemingly the bottle) has been produced since 1930.
I bought this rum on a trip to Sainsburys. It had couple of quid off so was £18 rather than £20. To be honest the bottle is a little uninspiring, which is why I had previously overlooked it. It’s a standard entry-level metallic screw top bar bottle. The labelling is a little kitsch but I don’t really think it will be doing its sales much good.
At the time of buying this I hadn’t tried much in the way of Demerara Rum other than the supermarket “Navy” style rum’s. So I thought I would give this a try. It was very highly regarded on The Whisky Exchange (I get a lot of rum online due to the lack of variety and specialist shops up here in the North East).
