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 fĂŒr den Preis. Kaum zu glauben, dass der immer noch fĂŒr 60 EUR zu haben ist.

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

Volle Zustimmung! Und extrem leicht zu trinken, was ihn sehr gefÀhrlich 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.

This is very interesting. I think they mean Diamond Coffey rather than Savalle, but gives some insight on SV vs SVW.

powerful Wood‘s Old Navy Rum. The Rum consists of a blend of three different Guyanese Rums distilled from Blackstrap molasses at the Diamond Distillery. Blackstrap molasses has the lowest sugar content after the sugarcane juice has been boiled three times already.

The first part of the rum is the “SVW” marque a rum distilled to 92,9 % ABV on the French Savalle column still. It makes up the largest part of the Wood’s Rum. The second one, the “SV” marque is distilled to 82,4 % ABV on the same still.

The last marque “REV” accounts for the smallest amount of the three in the blend, but actually contributes the most flavour. It is rum distilled to 69,7 % ABV on the wooden Versailles pot still. The „Navy Rum“ tag reffers to the wooden pot stills used for the production of the Wood‘s Rum.

The rums which are up to three-years-old are blended together before the dilution to 57 % ABV. In addition to the distillery already coating their barrels with molasses, the colour of the rum also is not natural. There may even be some molasses in the finished rum.
