Silver Seal Diamond Demerara 2002
"Lives more off the name and label than the contents," one taster shrugged — and a few others land near the same spot. Give it time in the glass and it turns surprisingly fruity: peach, green apple, a whiff of glue, then dark chocolate and a salty, roasted, woody palate. The nose wins most people over more than the mouth, which several call thin. Alcohol's nicely tucked in at 50%.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">Divides the room: some find it thin and unremarkable for a limited Demerara, others rate the fruity nose and clean dried-fruit finish. Rewards patience in the glass.

Review by Skyfly
Sehr leckerer Rum. Sehr fruchtig in der Nase, etwas Pfirsich und grüner Apfel, aber auch Ester/ Klebstoff. Im Mund dann eher ein Übergang zu Trockenfrüchten, jetzt auch mit stärkeren Holz-, Würz- und Röstaromen; etwas salzig. Im Abgang sehr angenehme Trockenfrüchte, keine Bitterkeit. Alkohol erstklassig eingebunden.
Review by Johannes
Ich finde ihn sehr spannend! Geschmacklich ziemlich sicher ein Port Mourant mit einem fruchtigen, kräutrigen, eher adstringierendem Profil. Gefällt mir gut!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
17.10.2015 Meeting up with friends at this waterfront hotel. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint tar, fruity, cinnamon, raisin, faint caramel. Palate Light, wood, spice, light caramel, light roasted, light chocolate, faint salt, dried fruit. Finish Medium long, naturally sweet, wood, light caramel, raisin.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wirklich ein abnehmbarer Rum. In der Nase sehr fruchtig. Wir haben hier überwiegend Pfirsich. Am Gaumen dann fast nur dunkle Schokolade und schmeckt sehr salzig dieser Rum. Kein must have, aber doch okay.
Review by Jarek
This rum needs time in the glass. Only after quite a while does it develop its surprisingly fruity aromas. There are also notes of chocolate and cocoa. Somehow weak and thin on the palate. Not really bad, but not really good either. I can't finish the bottle...
Review by Serge
Thanks to Jarek for the sample. Hmmm ... yes, it's more about the name and the label than the content. Not bad, but nothing special either. I like it a little better on the nose than on the palate and a little time in the glass will do it good.
