TBRC Diamond Versailles Still SXG
"So far from your average caramel and baking spice," is how one taster sums up this Versailles pot-still Demerara. Expect dry wood, black tea, leather and a pepper-forward bite, with occasional funk and tropical fruit if you let it breathe. Most people find it interesting rather than easy — the alcohol runs a little hot and not fully tucked in.

Review by Nick Gerrard
Bloody hell! This is an exceptional rum. One for the true taste explorers - so much going on and so far from your average, run of the mill caramel and baking spice notes. Punches you in the face with tropical fruit and white pepper notes.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
On the nose it's pleasant. Lots of tobacco, like a good cigar has been lit nearby. Some tea too, with a little vanilla and a good amount of oak. The palate has lots of leather. This puts me in mind of a cheaper blended whisky. The teas is also still present from the nose. The finish is rather long and does get some more pleasant notes of caramel. I feel bad but for me this was indistinguishable from Bells. Way too much leather on the palate. Batch 3 - Bottle 786 of 2207
Review by steffen
After 1 year, I can feel that my taste buds have changed and I think it has become somewhat better, not least because I have started to love that a lot happens in the mouth and all the different shades that come out after leather and lacquer. But it won't be a super glass in my mouth 😊
Review by MarcT
First Tasting of this bottle (will update this review later with more details) in the new home, surrounded by boxes and the general disarray after moving in. 60 percent approval only? This is not the best Demerara I've tasted, but it does not deserve a rating this low... The first Impression had been mixed, onwards to session three. This rum really needs to breathe in order to bring its flavors, and then does something surprising: besides strong woody notes, being very dry and herbal impressions one gets also some funk and esters, that are quite unexpected. Unfortunately the alcohol has quite a bite and thus reduces the overall score quite a bit. Had the integration alcohol and wood been a bit better this would be quite good, but it is not and thus only 76 points.
Review by Jack M
Punchy upfront with the alcohol on the first sip. After some resting some of the sweeter burnt sugar and caramel flavours come through a little. I enjoyed trying this after having tasted a selection of Versailles Greenheart rums which has helped for comparison and it was easy enough to recognise and pick out the similar flavours but limited.
Review by Richard Krupa
Peppermint, mint and wood. Of all the boutiques I've tasted so far, it's probably the least tasty
