OVD Demerara Dark Rum Review
O.V.D. (Old Vatted Demerara) is a very dark rum made with a blend of the finest demerara rums in the world and matured in oak casks for around 7 years. This was imported by George Morton from Guyana in 1838 and blended especially for the Scottish market.
First impressions are good. Suprisingly sweet with an hint of treacle toffee which settles comfortably on the tongue. Very enjoyable as a long mixed drink over ice, this will appeal to fans of all dark rums. O.V.D. sits somewhere between Alnwick Rum and English Harbour. Drank straight it reminds me a little of brandy, especially the aroma. Certainly one to add to the collection.
