Diamond Plantation Guyana 1999 17yr 56,3%
Plantation Guyana 1999, crafted at the renowned Diamond distillery in Guyana, offers a bold and complex taste journey, aged for 17 years in a mix of tropical and French barrels. With an ABV of 56.3%, this rum captivates with its rich aromas of caramel and coffee, enhanced by tasteful hints of butterscotch and nuts. Enthusiasts on RumX praise its velvety balance and reminiscent flavors akin to the classic El Dorado 15. However, some note an overpowering sweetness that affects its overall profile, attributed to possible post-distillation sugar additions. Combining intense woody and spicy notes with a long-lasting finish, this rare, multifaceted rum is a must-try for collectors and a comforting sip on cold winter nights.

“An absolute favorite rum! From the taste profile it reminds very much of the El Dorado 15 Years. Only denser, more complex. Unfortunately, also a lot of sugar, that's the flaw.Distilled on the Port Mourant column, 15 years equatorial glow and 2 years in a cognac barrel.The perfect rum for a cold winter evening! Still it is cold outside...”

“A pleasant sweetness full and bold taste, which is characterized by cinnamon, cloves and Christmas notes 🎅🏻 - Taste of plums and raisins. The aftertaste is very long - A pleasant glass of rum.”

“Basically nice profile - the nose is still dominated by the classic Demerara notes. Unfortunately, everything is somewhat marred on the palate by the subsequent sweetening (suspected from the flavor profile), as the sugary notes become too dominant.”
