Diamond Plantation Guyana 1999
Sipped neat, this drinks soft and velvety for a 56% Guyana pot-still — the usual Demerara hardness is gone. Expect coffee, vanilla, raisins, cinnamon and a woody, molasses depth, with plenty of "Christmas notes" and a long finish. Several tasters compare it to El Dorado 15, just denser. The catch most agree on: it tastes noticeably sweetened, which some feel muddies an otherwise fine profile.
The community says- Velvety, well balanced
- Coffee and raisin depth
- Added sugar

An absolute favorite rum! From the taste profile it reminds very much of the El Dorado 15 Years. Only denser, more complex. Unfortunately, also a lot of sugar, that's the flaw.Distilled on the Port Mourant column, 15 years equatorial glow and 2 years in a cognac barrel.The perfect rum for a cold winter evening! Still it is cold outside...

Basically nice profile - the nose is still dominated by the classic Demerara notes. Unfortunately, everything is somewhat marred on the palate by the subsequent sweetening (suspected from the flavor profile), as the sugary notes become too dominant.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
A pleasant sweetness full and bold taste, which is characterized by cinnamon, cloves and Christmas notes 🎅🏻 - Taste of plums and raisins. The aftertaste is very long - A pleasant glass of rum.

A new bottle at the time of tasting, at my favorite metal-bar in Copenhagen. A deep scent of vanilla and sweetness, and hints of wood. Notes of raisins, cinnamon, molasses, spicyness and a sweet, woody aftertaste

08.03.2024 Tasting with Romhatten. Retasting and I stick to my score. ---------------- 17.11.2023 Retasting this and stick to my initial score. Incredibly well balanced and velvety. ---------- Had a great Plantation tasting experience yesterday and here is the fifth of the six we had a go at. This was a nice surprise because the usual hardness in the taste from Guyana is actually missing here. A very nicely balanced rum that is kind of soft. This rum has been created from molasses that has undergone extra long fermentation and maybe that's what makes it almost perfect. A hard bottle to get your hands on so if you get a chance, give it a sip.
Review by zabo
Solide Abfüllung von Plantation. Erinnert doch auch sehr an die ElDorados aus der Standard Range. Vermute das auch hier ein wenig nach gezuckert wurde. Würde diesen eher in der Kategorie easy Sipper einordnen. Aber im Grunde wirklich gut gemacht.
Review by Serge
Nette, Demerara typische Nase, leider etwas zu süß am Gaumen. Aber schönes Profil mit viel Vanille, Rosinen, etwas Zimt, Schokolade und Holz. Sehr süffig wie er ist … ich denke dennoch, dass er weniger süß deutlich besser sein könnte.
Review by DomM
Not bad. I think a sweet wine cask of some sorts and a bit of added sugar have a role in this one. Overall not bad and quite enjoyable. I‘m very much not sure which distill this hails from tbh. I would expect a column/savalle rum rather than pot still m, but this may be distorted by the (assumed) „measures“.
