Rum Runner Diamond SV 2011
Well-liked but not worshipped — most tasters land on "solid Diamond you can't go wrong with" rather than a stunner. The nose runs deep and spicy: cocoa, coffee, toasted oak, caramelised tropical fruit and a floral lift. The palate turns dark and nutty with a caramel edge. At 63.7% the alcohol sits surprisingly well-integrated, but several note the finish fades faster than the proof promises.

How does Rum Runner Diamond SV 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Dark, roasted Diamond that plays it classic A textbook Demerara Diamond — dark, roasted, cleanly made — that most enjoy but few remember. The recurring gripe is a short finish and a lack of complexity for the ABV.

Ein sehr tiefes Profil in der Nase. Viel Würze, Kakao, Kaffee, Schokolade. Am Gaumen sticht besonders eine karamellige süße hervor. Insgesamt sind wir hier noch stärker auf der würzigen Seite. Im Finish dann etwas zu schnell verschwunden. Aber insgesamt durchaus ansprechende Abfüllung die wieder mal zeigt das Rum aus Guyana schlicht oberste Liga ist.

A pretty good Diamond, with a pleasant interplay of flavors. Not really outstanding, but definitely good to sip! The alcohol is well integrated, but I personally feel it lacks a bit of complexity, which prevents it from reaching higher heights
Review by TheRhumhoe
A nice surprise among Rum Runner's releases. The nose is very fragrant, with beautiful spicy, woody and roasted flavors that combine for a good dose of gourmandise. Exotic fruits and floral notes play spoilsport and add freshness. A very aromatic and pleasant profile. The palate is very unctuous. The fruitiness of coconut, papaya and dried fruit returns, while the darker side gradually takes over with notes of tobacco, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg and toast. The oak is well blended and the alcohol very well integrated. The profile remains tasty throughout. The finish is a little drier and more tannic, but lingers on with the greediness of Demerara rums, both expressive and full-bodied. A very good modern-day Diamond.

Nun ja, ist nicht die absolute Mega Abfüllung aus Guyana, hatte schon ein wenig mehr erwartet. Für mich persönlich eine solide Abfüllung mehr aber auch leider nicht. Nichts, das jetzt wirklich in Erinnerung bleibt.
