TBRC Diamond Collection New Vibrations ICBU 2023
Vanilla, cocoa and a little wood over a light, almost delicate body — this is a continental-aged Diamond, and it tastes like it. Several members found the nose more interesting than the palate, with a short finish that keeps letting it down. One taster reckoned it would shine with tropical ageing instead. Pleasant and easy, but low on depth.

Light, easy Guyana sipper lacking depth Most find it fresh, light and easy to drink, with vanilla and gentle wood — but thin, not very complex, and a short finish that stops it going higher.

Review by TheRhumhoe
An ICBU-marked, continental-climate-aged rum from Guyana, with a wide range of fragrances, especially on the nose. There's floral and herbaceous freshness, a good pinch of spice (chili, pepper, vanilla), toasty woodiness, candied fruit and hints of almond and caramel. An aromatic yet airy nose. The attack on the palate is less complex. Sweet flavors of brown sugar, candied fruit, caramel and fruit (dried, tropical, nuts, cake) reveal themselves one by one, before the equally gourmand spices coat the palate with notes of spice, umami and vanilla. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is a step back from the rest. More direct, spicier, drier and less abundant, it's less convincing, though not shoddy either. A well-crafted rum, pleasant to drink and offering good value for money.

Dégusté au stand du copain ! Fin & léger; beurre; vanille, chocolat Principalement. À mon sens trop peu aromatique et avec une finale trop coiffure pour ce prix la. ça passe tout seul, mais ça manque de profondeur.

Review by Thunderbird
A relatively thin and light continental ICBU. The aromas are not particularly pronounced, but present. It almost passes for a sipper. If the finish had been a little longer, it could definitely have achieved a "very good" rating.
Review by Serge
Nose light and with some wood, vanilla, spices, dried fruit and some liquorice. Then on the palate with pepper and a few candied fruits and salt. Not bad at all, but not a winner either. I'd like to try it with tropical storage ... I think that would suit it much better.
Review by Godspeed
Not terrible but not great. Light and almost easy drinking. Screams continental ageing. Nose is better than palate. Not very complex at all.
Review by DeMaddin
Schöner leichter Rum aus Guyana.In der Nase liegen als erstes die Noten von Klebstoff, Ester, Limetten, Birne an. Das Holz ist hier nicht so im Mittelpunkt .Man merkt auch eine unterschwellige Süße, gepaart mit floralen und ganz leichten Vanillenoten. Der Alkohol ist hier dezent wahrnehmbar. Im Mund wirkt er schön weich, leicht sirupartig und ölig.Vom Geschmack her, kommen die fruchtigen Töne durch, Birne und Äpfel, medizinischen Noten, auch das Fass klopft endlich an, dazu kommen Noten von Walnüssen und leicht pfeffrig/kräuterigen Tönen. Der ABV ist hier gut integriert, trotz 53,9% kommt er mir überhaupt nicht so vor. Der Abgang ist kurz, mit sirupartigen, fruchtig, walnussartigen und medizinischen Nuancen. Alles in Allem einer der leichteren Sorten aus Guyana, der sich aber wunderbar trinken lässt.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Retour sur une doublette de samples généreusement partagés par le poto Thomas TBRC - Diamond 12Y Savalle Still - 53.9% Bien que l'ancienne distillerie Uitvlugt ait fermé ses portes en 1999, sa célèbre colonne Savalle continue de fonctionner au sein de Demerara Distillers Limited, la dernière distillerie encore active au Guyana, fondée la même année. Sur le plan aromatique et gustatif, il déroute, allant même jusqu’à évoquer, en toute fin de bouche, un single malt écossais. Un ICBU continental relativement fin et léger. Les arômes, bien que subtils, sont bien présents. La finale, cependant, manque un peu de longueur.
Review by DomM
Rather bitey on the nose. Some wood and vanilla and a „creamy“ sensation - vanilla creme I‘d say. A hint of smoke. Not very exciting tbh. Surprisingly sweet and enjoyable on the palate. Vanilla confectionery. While enjoyable there isn’t a lot to discover with limited comlexity. I prefer the palate over the nose and while not bad it’s just to straight forwards to be exciting.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Interessante Abfüllung, da Nase und Gaumen sich durchaus unterscheiden. Die Nase ist frisch und alles ist etwas filigran. Am Gaumen würziger mit mehr Holz, aber auch deutlichen Alkohol Aromen. Hier verliert der Rum ordentlich Punkte.
Review by Eric Frechin
Les guyana c est soit un coup de cœur, soit une déception. Là je dirais une déception. Le nez est très léger, je mets du temps à capter des arômes défini. La bouche démarre sur un pimenté/amer qui passe assez vite pour évoluer vers du doux. Finale peu persistante. J ai pris une plus grosse gorgée, ma bouche était anesthésiée.
Review by zabo
Die erste Nase fand ich trotz des niedrigen ABV sehr alkoholisch und stechenden. Mit der Zeit legt es sich etwas. Die Farbe ist sehr hell und geschmacklich für mich definitiv erkennbar das er wohl kaum bis gar keine tropische Reifung erhalten hat. Als Fazit nicht wirklich schlecht, aber auch kein Bringer. Insgesamt wirkt er etwas dünn. Ein Sipper für einen lauen Sommerabend.
Review by Schnubbii
In der Nase finde ich verhalten Kakao und eine leichte Frische. Am Gaumen dann etwas alkoholisch, wieder Kakao und eine ganz leichte Bitterkeit, dazu leichte Toast-Aromen. Der Abgang ist kurz. Puh, also der ist für meinen Geschmack gar nix, da trinke ich lieber einen Compagnero. Den Rest aus dem Glas habe ich in meiner Cola versenkt.
