Aging at ambient temperature under tropical climatic conditions contributes crucially to the mellow smoothness of the final spirit, with its complex flavors and rich aromas that make Demerara Rums so unique. The aging process is significantly sped up by the high humidity and steady temperature–resulting in a Demerara 8 Year Old Rum, for instance, having a maturity equal to that of a 16 year old spirit aged in more temperate climates.
