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
- But: ABV not integrated

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.

Wow, a great Demerara. The nose is predominantly chocolate, but malt and cask are also recognizable. The palate is also predominantly chocolate (dark), but cocoa and wood are also recognizable. Alcohol super integrated, pleasing.

Nice Guyana profile, but a bit too one-sided and not very complex for me.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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 Johannes
Perhaps a little young, unbalanced.
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 passlemix
Nez très café qui tend sur le tiramisu, cerise aussi et avec une petit côté orange Chamonix. Alcool un peu trop precetible dommage vu l'âge et le taro. Bouche sur la cerise bien marquée par le fût. C'est ce que je retiendrais de ce rhum, finish pour moi bien trop marqué qui emporte tout et amène le jus sur un côté presque écoeurant pas arrangé par le sucre trop présent. Pas ma came. +0.2 avec 3 gouttes d'eau
Review by RumTaTa
A very good rum with a strong punch to prunes and raisins - delicious! Caramel tones and vanilla harmonize well. Distinct consistency between smell and taste. Tannins are added on the finish. The only drawback: the alcohol is very present - with a few drops of water, the rum gains even more complexity.
Review by Basti
Unfortunately, the alcohol is not so well integrated. It didn't really convince me at the second tasting either.
Review by Rum man
Red fruit dominated demerara. Sweet without being sweet. Perfect double cask aging performance.
