Barikenn DDL Guyana Diamond VSG

"A rum from Guyana that starts with a nice nose full of fruits (pineapple, apple, peach and lemon), spices, wood and caramel that blend harmoniously. The palate is more brutal, turned to spices (chili pepper in particular), vanilla wood and a touch of bitterness that contrasts with the exuberance of the fruits on the nose. We also detect notes of licorice. The rum is dry but quite creamy in the mouth. The finish is medium long with the same bitter, licorice, wood, spice, caramel and vanilla notes. A contrasting rum but diverse in flavors."

"Surprisingly nice. Tasted one time from a sample. Alcohol not perfectly integrated but in a way that i did not mind"

"Strong demerara With an impressively balanced nose, the spice then dominates the palate, but if you give it time, fruit also comes through here, I detected some peach. Unfortunately, the finish drops off a little"

"Very nice and komplex young Versailles. Classic VSG notes with plenty add-ons I did not expect. This will need some more sessions to fully explore. Pleasantly surprised 👍"

"Greedy profile, rather balanced and complete. Alcohol integrated in a way that gives it a bit of pep!"

"Ich mag Guyanarum! Ein wildes Zusammenspiel aus Frucht in der Nase, gepaart mit feinen Gewürzen und Holz,dazu Schokolade mit Bleistiftspähnen und diesem leicht muffigen was in Richtung altes Krankenhaus geht. Der Alkohol könnte bissl besser integriert sein. Ich würde ihn als guten Mittelklasse Diamond einordnen."

"A few drops of water are adding some depth and details on nose and palate."

"Nez: fruits à chaire blanche (pêche blanche) et fruits du verger (pomme-poire), vanille, caramel, du boisé qui devient plus discret à l’aération et un côté épicé. Bouche: toujours les mêmes fruits du verger, la vanille, les épices ( muscade et poivre), une légère note de réglisse et une légère amertume. Finale moyenne, légèrement métallique et assez alcoolique, la bouteille venant juste d’être ouverte je pense que ça s’atténuera à l’oxydation. Pour 89€ ça reste plutôt sympa pour un rhum assez jeune."
