The Samaroli 2002 Demerara 16yo Rum is a premium expression from the renowned Samaroli brand, distilled in the lush region of Guyana. Aged for 16 years and bottled in 2018, this rum is limited to only 407 bottles, making it a rare and sought-after addition to any collection. With an ABV of 45%, this rum reveals a beautiful amber color with mahogany reflections upon visual examination. On the nose, it boasts an elegant and vibrant bouquet with balsamic hints, enriched by notes of vanilla, lavender, and exotic fruits. The palate is rich and generous, confirming the olfactory aromas and introducing additional layers of cocoa and dried fruit flavors. This rum is crafted by distilling a fermented sugar infusion derived from molasses using small copper pot stills that require a minimum of two distillations. It matures in oak barrels that have previously contained whisky, allowing it to absorb tannins and develop a darker hue. The aging process takes place in Scotland, known for its ideal climate conditions that promote a more regular maturation of alcohol, benefiting from the Scots' renowned expertise in the art of whisky aging. Despite the initial impression that it might resemble a whisky more than a rum due to its Scottish influences, the Samaroli 2002 Demerara surprises with its tropical river aroma and monsoon rain palate, dominated by powdered notes, vanilla, tropical fruits, and lavender. The finish is sumptuous, highlighted by cocoa and dried fruits, and a wonderful smoky warmth.
The Samaroli 2002 Demerara rum is unique due to its combination of Guyanese heritage and Scottish aging techniques, resulting in a complex flavor profile with influences from both rum and whisky traditions.
Only 407 bottles of the Samaroli 2002 Demerara rum were produced, making it a rare and collectible item.
The primary flavors include caramel, tropical fruits, vanilla, cocoa, dried fruits, and spices, with a warm and smoky undertone.
The Samaroli 2002 Demerara 16yo is a stunning rum that beautifully balances its rich heritage with contemporary craftsmanship. The nose is an intriguing mix of wood, caramel, and dried fruit, while the palate offers a delightful combination of warmth, smokiness, and sweetness. The finish is long and satisfying, making each sip a memorable experience. A must-have for rum aficionados who appreciate the intersection of tradition and innovation.
