This combination, with the Guyanese portion including some rum aged in ex-bourbon barrels alongside unaged expressions from rare wooden pot stills, creates a remarkably balanced and flavorful spirit perfect for classic cocktails or simply enjoying its depth on its own.

Anders' Take on Denizen Vatted Dark Rum
"Denizen Vatted Dark has a perfect balance of funk and molasses without being overpowering. It works well in everything from a Daiquiri to a complex tiki drink."
Let's Answer Your Questions About Denizen Vatted Dark Rum
Where is Denizen Vatted Dark Rum from?
```html
Denizen Vatted Dark Rum is a newer offering that honors historical rum-making traditions. It's a blend of dark rum produced in Guyana, crafted in the old vatted style originally made for the British Navy in the mid-18th century, and fresh unaged rhum agricole from Martinique. [1, 2] The brand, Denizen, is known for sourcing and blending rums from various Caribbean distillers in collaboration with E&A Scheer in the Netherlands, a company with a 300-year history in rum. [8, 3] Notably, this particular rum pays homage to the slaves who rebelled against British colonists in Guyana in 1823, embodying a "liberated spirit". [2, 6] Most of the blend is produced in Guyana using antique stills, with the addition of Martinique rhum agricole to provide bright vegetal aromas. [1, 6]
