Review by Morgan Garet
Magnifique nez sur un beau boisé, beaucoup d'agrumes, du sucre brun, du cirage avec en fond une belle note caramelisée. On reste sur le même niveau en bouche avec en avant les agrumes, le caramel et le bois precieux. Les 58% sont très bien intégrés. 😋
Review by Jonas Köhler
Relatively spicy due to high alcohol content. Very round, few stand out flavors
Review by Thunderbird
In the nose quite restrained, slightly dried fruit, mild and pleasant!On the palate first slightly acidic , blackberry, then an interplay to the woody roasted and spicy! At the end slightly bitter.In the finish the woody predominates, somewhat astringent and bitter! A very nice round and complex rum
Review by Djehey
Manque de fraîcheur surtout en bouche. Amertume un peu trop prononcée. Alcool bien intégré. Après avoir terminé la bouteille, je confirme un ressenti mitigé. Ce rhum est bon mais la forte amertume qui devient plus prononcé avec l'aération, le rend trop sombre...
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Pflaume und Zitrusfrüchte. Sehr gelungen. Absolut zu empfehlen
Review by Jakob
Unfortunately, I'm not completely convinced because there's a little too much alcohol on the palate. Solid Demerara, but the alcohol note does not allow a higher rating in my opinion.
Review by Christoph
Delicious citrus meets wood, licorice and some leather. A bit bitter on the finish. The alcohol is almost perfectly integrated. Very good VSG.
Review by Alex1981
Rough Guyana with heavy spice/alcoholic notes. Fairly imbalanced and fails to convince. Even after some time the heat doesn’t settle and overpowers the rest, no chance to enjoy the slight dark fruityness in the background.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Online tasting at Rum Depot:Great Guyana rum, which was perhaps a little too little to the fore next to the Rockley. Intense, delicious and spicy (prunes or plums wrapped in bacon). A wonderful mouthfeel, great creamy and filling.
Review by Mathieu C.
Aged 16 years.....Very dark colorFirst nose rich and heavy with fruits and pastries then spices but quickly degrades with aerationMouth fat, very roasted, bitter, and borderline "dirty", alcohol wise for almost 60%--> I have not tasted much Demerara, Versailles especially.Not completely packed even if atypical and interesting to see something else
Review by Speedflo
Schöner dunkler Guyana Diamond Rum von Rum Artesanal. In der Nase sehr aromatisch und vielschichtig sodass es sich erahnen lässt wie schwer der Rum dann auch im Mund ist. Nach dem ersten Schluck gibt es eine kleine Geschmacksexplosion mit ganz vielen Guyana Facetten, gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by tojo
Beautiful Guyana rum in which I perceive mainly red fruits in taste.
Review by Basti
An der Nase Malz, Karamell, Tabak, Leder, Lakritze, Holz, etwas Bleistiftspähne und Pflaume. Am Gaumen ebenfalls schwer und würzig. Gut integrierter Alkohol und zum Releasezeitpunkt sicherlich ein Rum mit top PLV.
