Und dann einen wirklich netten Guyana, tut gut nach dem Nicaragua :) Ist natürlich auch ein wirklich röstiges Teil, überwiegend Kaffee und Mokka am Gaumen, außerdem etwas Fass, aber eher dezent im Hintergrund.

Ein junger und ziemlich wilden Guyana Diamond.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#7011 08.07.2026 What a day today. On the way home from work my car died and had to be towed. That calls for some samples, just to have an excuse. Listening to my Trance Playlist on Spotify. Pretty OK rum that is hard to get unless you're a member or know somebody who is. Medium intense profile with fruits, leather spice. Herbs, caramel, tobacco and roasted wood.
Review by Thunderbird
A young and classic Diamond in which the alcohol is unfortunately a little too impetuous. It needs a relatively long time in the glass. This allows you to enjoy the aromas, but unfortunately the alcohol bite remains.
Review by Johannes
Typisches Diamond Profil mit Lakritz, hellen Früchten, etwas jung, dieser mit leichten Whisky-Fasseinfluss.
