How does this rum taste?
- Rich and complex aroma
- Lengthy, dark chocolate finish
- Well-integrated alcohol
The 1996 Diamond Distillery rum, bottled by Corman Collins, offers a complex sensory experience. Distilled from molasses and aged 25 years, this limited edition Guyanese rum delivers a bouquet of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and woody aromas. On the palate, the rich layers of dried fruit, spices, and burnt sugar notes come through, embodying a typical Demerara profile that is both bold and refined. Although the rum demonstrates intricate flavors, some users feel its dilution to 46.6% ABV diminishes its depth. This sought-after expression is appreciated for its rich, well-integrated alcohol and lengthy, dark finish, making it a notable but slightly divisive addition to connoisseurs' collections.

To Diamond
"Relaxed Diamond. The dilution takes some of the soul out of it, otherwise it would be a real killer rum."
"Incredible Diamond profile. Its only weakness is dilution which is not perfectly executed (alcohol pic). Besides this, clearly my favourite kind of rum đ"
"Very tasty and pleasant rum. Umami in the mouth, full and yet very balanced. I like it very much. Wood and old molasses notes in the form of licorice. Overall a little too thin for a higher rating."
"Why did they have to dilute this rum so much? The sweetness of caramel and milk chocolate is a little too dominant, along with vanilla, coffee and spices... unfortunately it remains a little too sweet, it simply lacks expressiveness - and even if I can only assume the positive influence, of course, a few more percentages would have been good for the distillate."
