Crowdsourcing Guyana Rum Marks

The King Kai release from Raising Glasses bears the ELWR marque which apparently stands for Extra Light White Rum.

Thanks for the update. That’s an interesting mark. For me it seems to be a Mark made up by the bottler.

That could well be indeed. There is also similarity with the ELCR marque from the overview.

Hello, I have confirmation from Main Rum Company. That MDR stands for Main Diamond REV. It was distilled on the Versailles single pot still. It is not from the French Savalle Still or from the MPRS as some have suggested.

Thanks for this confirmation!

The Perola 2012 is a REV for 60€ RX12164 :exploding_head:

fand den schon seinerzeit extrem gut fĂźr den Preis. Kaum zu glauben, dass der immer noch fĂźr 60 EUR zu haben ist.

Edit: nochmal eine Flasche Ăźber die App geholt :wink: (mit leichtem Aufschlag bei dem anderen Shop)

Volle Zustimmung! Und extrem leicht zu trinken, was ihn sehr gefährlich macht. Die Flasche ist zu schnell leer :innocent:

Hi, joining the bandwagon of nerdy discussion years after! While it’s arguable that E150 has any flavor impact, when it comes to DDL I got that info:

they do not use E150 in order to color their REV mark, instead they use their own caramel coloring from local cane, which is 1/3 less concentrated than regular caramel coloring, and they use it right after the distillation.

That said, I did compare a VSG and a REV side by side (El dorado rare collection Versailles and SBS REV 2006), and while being noticeably different, I’m not sure I could tell that the coloring had any impact on the taste.
