Diamond Reserve Overproof Rum 151 Proof

Diamond Reserve 151 is real Demerara rum at 151 proof — which matters, because most overproofs are neutral firewater. Demerara Distillers Limited runs the last distillery in Guyana, at Plantation Diamond on the east bank of the Demerara River, where it consolidated all the country's historic stills and the marques that go with them; this is the same house that makes El Dorado. The 151 Demerara is a blend from three of those heritage stills — the French Savalle four-column, the EHP Enmore wooden Coffey still, and the Port Mourant double wooden pot still, the oldest working still in the world — distilled from molasses, aged one to two years in used bourbon casks, and bottled at 75.5% ABV under the Demerara Rum geographical indication. Tastings.com scored it 92. Got Rum?'s Paul Senft found the flavors well balanced and squarely in line with what he considers a Demerara rum — a good value in the 151 category, and a natural fit for the 1944 Mai Tai, the Zombie, and any tiki drink calling for a 151 float. Skurnik: dried apple, apricot, date, smoky leather, and butterscotch, then dark baking spice, cocoa, and vanilla. Honest note: Rum Ratings' drinkers are clear it's not for sipping neat — it burns like 151 should — and one preferred Wray & Nephew for character. For a Zombie, a flaming garnish, a Demerara Dry Float, a rum punch, or a Mai Tai float with actual Port Mourant in it, it's the overproof with pedigree.
