Demerara Solera N° 14 Rum Nation
Rum Nation Demerara Solera No. 14 is an exquisite expression born from the rich sugarcane molasses cultivated in the picturesque British Guiana. This distillation represents a meticulous blend of rums of various ages, obtained through distillations in both pot stills, renowned for imparting richness and body, and column stills, bringing lightness and ease of drinkability.
The heart of this extraordinary rum takes shape during its primary aging period in ex-Bourbon American barrels, where it acquires a creamy sweetness and enveloping complexity. Subsequently, it undergoes a 12-month refinement in fresh sherry casks, Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso varieties, imparting a distinct spicy characteristic to its aromatic profile.
To add an additional layer of refinement, a small percentage of aged Enmore rum is introduced, contributing further complexity to the blend. On the nose, dark, musky notes rich in esters emerge, with hints of fermented fruit, cola, myrtle, and the subtle fragrance of bergamot tea.
The palate unfolds with a viscous consistency, enriched by the richness of sugarcane molasses. Nuances of dark chocolate, coffee, sultanas develop, all accompanied by a subtle toasty and bitter touch, embellished with herbal hints of black tea and gentian.
The finish is an endlessly persistent experience, where contrasting notes of bitter herbs and sugary sweetness alternate. Ultimately, sweetness prevails, enveloping the palate in an almost syrupy and slightly vinous sensation, reminiscent of the complexity of a high-quality vermouth. Rum Nation Demerara Solera No. 14 is a captivating and refined gustatory journey, an artisanal masterpiece that celebrates tradition and exceptional craftsmanship.
