    How does this rum taste?

    The Plantation Guyana 1999 is a robust rum distilled from molasses at the renowned Diamond distillery in Guyana and aged for 17 years. Bottled by Maison Ferrand, it features a potent 56.3% ABV. This rum captivates with aromas of caramel, wood, and coffee, delivering complex flavors with notes of vanilla, burnt sugar, and a velvety malt finish. Reviewers appreciate its deep, molasses-rich profile, akin to El Dorado 15, albeit with pronounced sweetness. While some find it exceptionally balanced and warming, others note an overriding sweetness influencing its otherwise sophisticated profile.

    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.

    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.
