“Robust Guyanese-Caroni blend; intense rubbery character.”

Marrons de la Liberté is a distinctive rum, distilled in 2002 at Guyana's Demerara Distillers Ltd and matured for 16 years. Bottled at cask strength, this limited edition of 192 bottles presents an ABV of 65.7%. Recognized for its Caroni-like character, users highlight its aromas of rubber, wood, and caramel. On the palate, roasted and rubber notes align with rich caramel and spice, creating a complex and engaging taste experience. Despite its potent alcohol level, it remains well-integrated, providing a deep, oily texture reminiscent of Caroni profiles, yet with a unique Guyanese edge, often surprising drinkers expecting strictly Guyanese flavors. Ideal for adventurous rum enthusiasts seeking intensity and complexity.

“#1st dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Rubber, Bicylce tube, woody, toasted, varnish, leather Palate: rubber, caramel, dried fruits, roasted, woody, barrel notes, oily, licorice Finish: long, rubber, licoric, woody, barrel notes, espresso. The alcohol is integrated very well. This one is crazy, on one side it has a bit of a caroni like rubber/bicyle tube taste, but the full body is missing here, it’s … softer. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, but more accessible😏 My Prediction: T.D.L but an old one without those lovely minty notes Approx. 55% Approx. 25 years of aging”

“Blind, Day 1 24DaysOfRum 2022 I had my mind set on Caroni and I was pretty sure too - that's how you can be wrong! The nose is quite closed. I perceive dried fruit and vanilla. Then on the palate very bulky with lots of notes that I would assign to Caroni. Heavy and oily. The finish is long and nicely reflects the impressions from the palate. A very good rum.If the alcohol was better integrated, I would rate 90+.”
