Skipper Demerara Rum is a historic brand that has been produced in Guyana for many years and remains a testament to the rich heritage of Demerara rum. Crafted using molasses, this rum is characterized by its dense, dark color and robust flavor profile. The rum is aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks, during which time it develops complex flavors of caramel, grilled pineapple, vanilla, oak, and banana.
The Demerara designation on the bottle signifies that the rum is produced in the region along the Demerara River in Guyana, where the sugarcane for the molasses is cultivated. One of the unique aspects of Demerara rum production is the use of traditional pot stills, some of which are over a hundred years old and constructed entirely from wood—a rare practice in the rum industry.
Demerara Distillers, the only remaining rum distillery in Guyana, employs a combination of six continuous column stills and two wooden pot stills to create nine different types of rum. These rums are subsequently aged in former whiskey casks, with the distillery's warehouses boasting the capacity to store over 60,000 such casks.
Skipper Demerara Rum has garnered numerous accolades, including a Gold Medal at the 2012 Rum Masters in the Dark Rum Aged Up to 7 Years category. Renowned not only for its high quality and distinctive flavor profile but also for its exceptional value, this rum is a favorite among connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
