Skipper Demerara brings the unmistakable depth of Guyanese rum to the dark category. Produced by Demerara Distillers — the custodians of the world's most diverse collection of heritage stills, including the legendary wooden Coffey still and the double wooden pot still — Skipper offers a taste of Guyanese tradition at an everyday price.

On the nose, expect burnt caramel, dark chocolate, coffee grounds, dried fig, and demerara sugar. The palate is rich and warming with treacle, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, baking spice, and a chewy mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming with molasses and dried fruit.

A superb rum for hot toddies, rum punch, and as a cooking rum. The Demerara sugar character gives it a distinctive richness that sets it apart from Jamaican dark rums.
