“Complex, sweet, slightly diluted Guyanese rum.”

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.

“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.”
