The Demon’s Share La Reserva Del Diablo

The Demon's Share La Reserva Del Diablo is a Panamanian rum made by Bodegas de América in the smooth, column-distilled Spanish style, and it is openly a sweet, dessert-leaning bottle. Distilled light from molasses and aged around six years, it puts presentation and easy drinking ahead of dryness or restraint.

The profile is dominated by candied orange, vanilla and caramel, with marzipan and baked-sugar notes and a soft, sweet finish that invites comparisons to the most popular dessert rums on the shelf. The copy will be straight about it: this is a sweetened, flavour-forward rum, gentle and almost confectionery in character, made for sipping over ice or mixing into sweet cocktails. Drinkers who prefer classic, dry rum will likely find it too sweet, while anyone who enjoys the orange-and-vanilla candy style will find plenty to like at an undemanding 40%.
