[...] In the 20s the Swedish punsch was exported to Europe, but the golden days of the punsch were over. Today there´s a renaissance of the punsch as a cocktail ingredient and there are many good recipes for making your own punsch on the internet. I also especially like this one, the Underhill punsch.

That is a very good point. I believe the LH is a bit more caramel flavored though than Banks 12 which also is less caramel flavored than (the oh so yummy..i`m drooling now) Banks 10.

the only thing i’ve noticed about some of the demerara rums is that a dominant caramel taste can spoil your complexity… that has been my experience a couple times with lemonheart…

The Banks 12 is a delicious rum, quite flavorful, and also quite a bargain. Martiki will concur! A bit more flavor intensive than the El Dorado 5, but should work quite fine for an Arrack Rum Punsch.

Hi Tiare!

I wish I have tried more Demarara rums to give you an educated opinion about the Banks 12!

The El Dorado 5 was kind of a serendipitous purchase for me.

My normal choice for these sorts of punch things is the Appleton V/X. For some reason all the places in town I knew to call were sold out of the Appleton. Some friends had recommended the El Dorado White as a good rum, so the 5 seemed like a safe choice when I found it at around $20 per 750ml.

I was actually really impressed with the El Dorado 5 as a rum, not just as a punch rum, and want to get more to experiment with.

I just have to make this one..i cannot live where i live without doing it.
Its just that i don`t have the El D 5year, how do you think Banks XM 12 years would do? its at least a Demerara..

Cheers!
