    How does this rum taste?

    Accessible dark Diamond with huge value

    Community loves the dark, roasted Diamond profile and top value; some find it a bit flat, short or oily. Consensus: characterful, easy-sipping Guyana and a price-performance hit.

    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy El Dorado-style Guyana but want something drier, stronger and without added sugar, this keeps the dark chocolate–molasses vibe while staying approachable and budget-friendly.

    Not really suitable for

    Those chasing ultra-complex, long-aged Demeraras or very dry, sharp cask-strength profiles; anyone who dislikes slightly oily textures or bitter burnt-caramel notes.

    Aroma

    Dried fruit Raisin Barrel Caramel

    Taste

    Dark chocolate Burnt sugar Tobacco Prunes

    Messeverkostung, daher knapper: Guyana ist recht neu für mich, dementsprechend ist das hier direkt ein sehr spannender Kracher. Sehr runde Mischung aus Frucht und Würze, viel Melasse und röstigen Gewürzen. In der Nase noch fruchtiger, am Gaumen dunkler und komplex. Schön wie sich bei jedem Schluck die Nuancen ändern und immer neue Schichten durchkommen. Der wird auf jeden Fall noch in groß geordert und ausführlicher betrachtet. Nachtrag 1: Mit Zeit dafür wird's nur besser. Salzig, Karamell, unglaublich smooth und im Mundgefühl für seine Preisklasse für mich bisher ungeschlagen.

    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. 😥

    Die Nase ist wirklich toll, ordentlich dunkler Zucker, Malz, Lakritz und röstige Aromen. Am Gaumen setzt sich dies fort, relativ trocken und etwas bitter, mit herbaleren Noten. Im Abgang Tabak. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden.

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