Moon Import Demerara Rhum Aged 21 Years 1985
"Impressive rum, very complex despite ABV," as one taster put it — and that captures this old Guyanese Demerara well. Prune and dark dried fruit lead into leather, tobacco, roasted wood and fresh rubber, with burnt sugar underneath. Several think it's a Port Mourant or Enmore from the 1960s. At 46% the nose is huge; a few wish the palate hit as hard.

- Huge dried-fruit nose
- Leather and tobacco depth

How does Moon Import Demerara Rhum Aged 21 Years 1985 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Woody, prune-and-leather vintage Demerara sipper Deep, woody old Demerara most tasters love for its prune-leather-rubber complexity. The recurring catch: for its intensity the 46% palate reads slightly thin next to the enormous nose.

Review by Holle525
According to my information, this bottling was bottled in 1985. Would therefore have to be a 1964 or younger PM. And that also fits the flavor profile of Cadenhead's 1964 PM only in diluted form
Review by Jakob
Complex profile with a wonderful balance of dark fruit notes, dried plum, tart woodiness and heavy sweetness. This is probably a 1964 vintage, which is also true in terms of taste. Outstanding Demerara!
Review by Johannes
The nose is a dream. Should be a 64 Port Mourant in terms of taste. Great profile, unfortunately a little thin after the cadenhead64. More on the woody side, not a fruit bomb.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This really has the vibe of the small skeldon brother. burned sugar, maritime notes and a lot of fresh rubber. on the palate it continues, although the rubber turned into talkum. a very warm and spice filled finish. great
