Substitute for Demerara Rum?? - Tiki Drinks and Food

The soil is different and certainly there is no equivalent to the distillate coming off of the coffey still, but Guyana and Trinidad rum production techniques are both an amalgam of Spanish and British traditions so I think there is some shared historic DNA that might show in the product. Angoustura 7 year is showing up on more and more shop shelves and it has a good price point compared to the more aged Angoustura expressions. I would give that one a try.
