Aroma visualization from community tastings
Mezan DDL Guyana 2007
Opinion lands around good-but-not-great here. It's a dark, chocolate-and-prune Demerara — one taster calls it "sweet without being sweet," with dried fruit, cocoa, leather and old wood. The common gripe: at 58% the alcohol pokes through, and a few find it a touch young or one-note. Give it air or a drop of water and it opens up.
The community says- Dark chocolate & cocoa
- Prune and raisin
- ABV not integrated

The look inside the bottle
How does Mezan DDL Guyana 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Dark, chocolatey Demerara, needs air and water Most enjoy the dark chocolate, prune and old-wood profile, but the 58% ABV feels loose to several tasters and a few call it a bit young or one-dimensional. Rest it or add water.

Review by RumTaTa
Ein sehr guter Rum mit kräftiger Schlagseite zu Trockenpflaumen und Rosinen - lecker!. Karamelltöne und Vanille harmonieren gut. Ausgeprägte Konsistenz zwischen Geruch und Geschmack. Im Anhang kommen Tannine dazu. Einziger Nachteil: der Alkohol ist sehr präsent - mit ein paar Tropfen Wasser gewinnt der Rum nochmals an Komplexität.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, ein klasse Demerara. In der Nase überwiegend Schokolade, aber auch Malz und Fass sind zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls überwiegend Schokolade (dunkle), aber auch Kakao und Holz sind zu erkennen. Alkohol super eingebunden, gefällt.

Fair warning, you have to rest this rum or the ABV will bite your nose and palate. Once rested it is a pretty good especially considering the price tag. The nose is fruity with vanilla, leather and light smoky wood. I also find a very light metallic kind of smell. The palate is fruity with chocolate, vanilla, leather and lightly roasted wood notes. The finish is very long and woody with dried fruit, vanilla and wet tobacco.
Review by Mathieu C.
Premier Guyana, distillerie Diamond Premier nez "rustique", vieux bois Bouche concentré, rugueux et imposant, vieux bois prédominant, vanille, "orangette" avec côté chocolat noir légèrement amer et orange en fond, enrobé par touche de noisette grillée Côté intense et "sombre", comme le montre d'emblée de jeu la couleur Longueur moyenne Intéressant, inhabituel, en impose, mais trop peu d'arômes au nez
Review by Basti
Alkohol leider nicht so gut eingebunden. Auch bei der 2. Verkostung konnte er mich nicht wirklich überzeugen.
Review by Rum man
Red fruit dominated demerara. Sweet without being sweet. Perfect double cask aging performance.
Review by w00tAN
Schönes Guyana Profil, mir allerdings ein bisschen zu einseitig und wenig komplex.
Review by Johannes
Vielleicht etwas jung, unausgewogen.
