Velier DDL Guyana (High Proof Old Demerara Rum) 2004
Highly praised Guyana Velier: balanced wood, dried fruits and gentle herbs, easy to drink yet flavorful, seen as a tasty, gourmand Demerara even if not the most mind-blowing for its age.
Really nice elegant nose, pure Demerara. Blind, I would guess a mix of Port Mourant and Albion/Skeldon tip because on one hand it comes across very herbal and spicy, on the other hand it brings great sweet, rather heavy notes like cinnamon and coconut. Also very round in taste, alcohol content perfectly chosen—not too thin, not too strong. A lot of fun and has a nice elegance. Not high-end in terms of material but still better than expected!Read more
Demerara fans wanting a well-aged, full-tropical Velier that’s flavorful but not aggressive, with lots of wood, dried fruits and tobacco at a manageable 50% ABV.

Auto-translated#5711 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty OK DDL actually with a medium heavy profile. Wood is balanced really well with the anise, tobacco and light herbal notes. In the back there is some dried fruit, spices, light cherry and some caramel.
Rich and deep Guyana nose with the defferent stills (marks) contributing nicely. Spices and sweet tea alongside dried fruits, cocoa and wood. Tasty! A complex Guyana profile on the palate as well. Freud fruits and chocolate take center stage, with herbs more in the background.
Extrem runderer Demerara-Blend. Toller Rum!
