    How does this rum taste?

    Praised for its standout value and classic dark Diamond profile, Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR opens with dried fruit, raisin and burnt sugar. The palate brings dark chocolate, caramel, tobacco and spice with a smooth 50% feel. Often enjoyed neat (some pair it with a cigar) and noted to shine in cocktails. Popular with 88 RumX reviews; some mention a short finish or limited complexity. Limited to 1500 bottles.

    Finally a reasonable & affordable Diamond Guyana Rum that you don't have to fight over! This is exactly the Diamond profile I like so much and the 50% is not too thin and not too strong but very tasty and drinkable! :) The aroma and taste are a beautiful harmony of dark chocolate, sea salt, strong molasses, banana bread, coffee, blackberries and dried fruit as well as plenty of spices such as candied ginger, cardamom, allspice, vanilla and nutmeg and then some tobacco, leather and bitter orange in the finish. It could have done with 5% more alcohol, but then it would have been a good deal more expensive! Incidentally, this is a "small batch" of 5 almost identical single cask diamonds, all of which had between 64-67%. PS: Makes an excellent addition to various tiki cocktails such as the Queens Park Swizzle!

    Ich hatte mit dem Gedanken gespielt mir eine Flasche zu holen, das lass ich bleiben. Irgendwie haben all diese gefärbten oder im zu stark gekohlten Fass gelagerten Rums den gleichen,alles überdeckenden Grundgeschmack, sei es dieser hier,der Woods Navy, oder Dictador20 und was weiß ich noch wer. Schade drum, hatte mir mehr erhofft. 😥

    Dark roasted Diamond profile on the nose. Lots of burnt sugar, dark chocolate and a hint of dried fruits. Same profile in the palate, yet smoother than the nose would like you to expect. Coffee, caramel, dark nougat and some maltiness. Very solid „coffee“ Diamond profile at a very accessible price. Also performs quite well in cocktails.

    Toller Einsteiger Diamond. Super PLV. Empfehlung! Auch in der Zweitverkostung positiv.
