Diamond
Diamond Distillery — home of Guyana’s legendary wooden stills and Demerara heritage
Forged on the banks of the Demerara River, Diamond Distillery unites Guyana’s historic stills under one roof. From the double wooden Port Mourant pot still to the Versailles single wooden pot and the Enmore wooden Coffey still, the distillery preserves techniques dating back centuries—while crafting modern classics across El Dorado and coveted indie releases.
Respected for richly textured Demerara profiles and remarkable aging potential, the distillery’s breadth shines on RumX with 368 expressions reviewed. The community’s verdict: a strong 8.3/10 median from 4,326 reviews, praising complexity, balance, and character—especially cask strength and tropically aged rum that showcase depth without sacrificing drinkability.

Flavour profile of Diamond
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX users celebrate Diamond for vivid “gluey-fruity” noses, dark chocolate and licorice cores, roasted coffee, polished woods, and red-fruit brightness. Tropically aged bottles earn raves for intensity and endless finishes, while continental-aged vintages highlight nuance and elegance. Standouts include El Dorado Rare Collection (SVW), VSG and REV marks, and Port Mourant-driven MDS/MDR. Some whisky-cask finishes polarize, and a few releases show firm alcohol—but value, depth, and distinct still character keep fans returning.
