Rum Nation Demerara Solera N.14, 40%

Introduction

Rum Nation Demerara Solera N.14 embodies the rich historical rum-making traditions of Guyana, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and respect for the unique character that defines authentic Demerara rum.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium sugar cane derivatives from Guyana’s fertile Demerara region, known for its mineral-rich soil that imparts distinctive characteristics to the rum
• Distillation process: Produced at the historic Diamond Distillery, utilizing both traditional wooden pot stills and column stills to create a balanced distillate with remarkable depth
• Maturation: Aged through the sophisticated Solera system (batch N.14) where older rums are gradually blended with younger spirits in a cascade of barrels, allowing for consistency and complexity
• Special techniques: The tropical Guyanese climate accelerates the aging process, creating an intensely matured spirit in less time than would be required in cooler regions

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich aromas of ripe banana, caramelized sugar, vanilla custard, and subtle notes of tropical hardwood
• Palate: Smooth entry with layers of toffee, dried tropical fruits, baking spices, and a touch of dark chocolate, all balanced by subtle oak influence
• Finish: Warm, pleasantly lingering finish with notes of toasted nuts, brown sugar, and gentle spice that gradually fades with remarkable smoothness

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature or slightly cooled (16-18°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped nosing glass or a traditional rum snifter to concentrate the aromas
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its complexity, though it also excels with a single large ice cube or in premium cocktails like an Old Fashioned
• Food pairings: Dark chocolate desserts, crème brûlée, apple tarts, or aged cheeses complement the rum’s rich profile perfectly

Product Specifications
