Aroma visualization from community tastings
TRC Diamond Guyana Black MDXC 2004
One reviewer called it a "Sherry-Bombe," and that fits: raisin, prune and licorice piled on roasted, coffee-and-mocha wood, with a honey-sweet, oily palate that melts like chocolate. Several found the 61.7% cask strength a touch too hot or slightly unbalanced, and a couple felt the wood eventually takes over — but the dried-fruit-and-sherry density has real fans.
The community says- Dense sherry aromas
- Licorice and dried fruit

The 88 points I awarded it years ago are now impressively confirmed when I taste it again. A true explosion of flavor! Liquid licorice. It's amazing that this rum only cost around EUR 60 when it was released. For me, this rum from my early days is and remains an icon.

Wow, what a density of aromas - great nose! A real sherry bomb. Really drinkable, but for me personally almost a little too sweet at the end.

04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. Very nice and well balanced Diamond. Medium fruity with nice roasted wood notes and a spicy palate. The finish is long with some chocolate. Love the menthol in the profile.
Review by cigares
Premier community meeting RumX à Acht. Beaucoup de bois ici, le vieux bois verni domine les autres flaveurs. Des fruits secs aussi et un côté acétone, un peu écœurant. La première bouche est ample, avec de beaux fruits secs. Mais le bois rattrape très vite son retard et finit par dominer complètement. La finale est plutôt longue et bizarrement plutôt sur les fruits secs que le bois. Un beau rhum mais pas tout à fait équilibré.
Review by Frank
In der Nase kommt er schön würzig rüber mit einer sehr deutlichen Sherry-Note. Geschwefelte und getrocknete Aprikose und Honig-Süße. Der Alkohol ist am Anfang etwas schneidend, gibt sich danach aber gut eingebunden. Lakritz und ein Hauch Minze kommen hinzu sowie Leder und und etwas Tabak. Intensiv und komplex am Gaumen. Auch hier wieder deutlich dass Sherry-Fass. An Frucht dominiert nun Pflaume, Dörrpflaume. Leicht pfeffrig und doch karamellig-süß. Leicht bitter-salzig hinten raus mit einem Hauch Minze. Bin zwar nicht mehr so der Freund von Sherry-Ausbau, aber der hier ist ein guter!
Review by Basti
That was a pleasant surprise. The rum is more on the dark/roasty side with licorice, malt, wood, leather, spices and some prunes. Alcohol perfectly integrated and excellent PLV.
Review by Alex Kunath
Generell ein eher spezieller aber kein schlechter Rum. Nur ist der Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden.
Review by Galli33
Thanks to Thomas for sharing this excellent sample. The first impression reveals a beautiful, deep color. Nose: Very dominant notes of licorice, complemented by herbal accents, roasted nuts, and dried fruits. Palate: Intense and balanced, showcasing pleasant sherry nuances, licorice, and distinct barrel character. Finish: Quite long and velvety, with layers of leather, black tea, and licorice. The aftertaste brings to mind some classic REV bottlings.
Review by Gregor
Sehr intensiver und schwerer diamond. Mit starken tönen von sherry und Rosine. Mir ein klein wenig zu stark vom Alkohol.
Review by Christoph H.
I love this rum! Admittedly, especially in the nose are missing big surprises. Mainly woody and spicy and rather unround, but by no means unpleasant. As it lingers longer, it becomes more pleasant and warmerIn the mouth, this is top notch for me. A very honeyed, oily and powerful attack. Very round compared to the nose. Melts on the tongue like melted chocolate. Absolutely recommended to buy. Several bottles spiked 🤙
Review by Jakob
Das Finish tut dem Rum gut, die schwere Süsse balanciert die herb-würzigen Noten und alkoholische Schärfe recht gelungen aus. Solider Diamond, der dank dem Süsswein-Einfluss zusätzlichen Reiz erhält.
Review by Christina L.
#keinprofi Starke Töne von Rosine und Backpflaume in der Nase und am Gaumen, später auch holzige Töne und die deutliche Unterschrift des Sherryfasses. Der Alkoholgehalt dieses Rums ist für meinen Geschmack zu hoch, bzw. nicht harmonisch eingebunden.
Review by woisit
In der Nase eher zurückhaltend, nasses Holz, angebranntes Karamell. Leicht süßer karameliger Antritt, der aber schnell von bitterem und adstringentem Holz abgelöst wird. Kein schöner Abgang, ziemlich unharmonischer Rum.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ein für mich sehr typisches dunkles Guyana Profil. Viel Röstaromen, Mokka, Kaffe und Rosine. Dazu Leder und gebrannter Zucker. Das ist alles Recht intensiv und erinnert an den SBS 2012. Der war mir auch zu intensiv. Ähnlich geht es mir hier. Leider nicht so mein Geschmack.
