I don't think it's spiced. This is from Grolier's Encyclopedia (via a web site): The darker, heavier Jamaican rums--made for the most part in Jamaica, Barbados, and Guyana -- are produced from a combination of molasses and skimmings from the sugar boiling vats; the darkest, Guyana's Demarara, is produced by very rapid fermentation and is not particularly heavy bodied. The fermentation of other substances in the molasses enhances the liquid's flavor and aroma. marcoslive - Did you look for rum from Guayana? All Demararas are from Guyana, but not all Guyanan rums are Demararan (only the ones made in Demarara region). So, you may want to ask around for Guyanan rum.
