Diamond Plantation Guyana 1999
Highly praised as a rich, sweet Demerara with velvety texture, Christmas‑like spices and long finish. Considered an easy high‑proof sipper and winter warmer for fans of El Dorado‑style profiles.
Fans of sweet, full-bodied Demerara and El Dorado 12–15 who want more intensity and ABV without losing softness and dessert-like caramel, coffee and Christmas-spice notes.

How does this rum taste?
Sweet, velvety Demerara winter warmer
If you enjoy El Dorado 15 or sweet Demeraras, this turns the same profile up in strength and depth while staying velvety and comforting—especially good as a cold-weather sipper.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, drinkers who prefer dry or edgy Guyana rums, and those very sensitive to sweetness at higher ABV.

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...
Auto-translatedA 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.
A new bottle at the time of tasting, at my favorite metal-bar in Copenhagen. A deep scent of vanilla and sweetness, and hints of wood. Notes of raisins, cinnamon, molasses, spicyness and a sweet, woody aftertaste
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.
