"84 points. Pleasant nose that holds back a little, spices, wood, vanilla and caramel stand out. A little more expressive in the mouth, chocolate, nuts, vanilla, wood, spices and dried fruit. Well balanced but not extremely complex."

"MaJ: After emptying most of the bottle I figure this stuff is, in fact, even a little better than my first review. I'm adjusting my opinion upwards by 3 points. Very good, lacks a few corners and edges but is still more than satisfactory. Makes you want to find more of Guyana's treasures. A high-quality product at a fair price for what you get. My only slight drawback is the bottle, which could have been a little prettier (in direct comparison with Velier releases, for example)."

"Nose: woody-spicy yet fruity-fresh. Sweet and sour lemon with orange syrup and papaya. In addition, the sweetness of toffee. Behind that, tobacco and vanilla and a slightly artificial essence of polish. The alcohol stings a bit. Overall, the nose is a bit restrained.Palate: the alcohol from the nose is no longer noticeable on the palate. It seems really smooth and creamy, chocolatey and nutty. Also strongly reminiscent of sweet, soft licorice. It gets a bit bitter and licoricey in the back. Delicious and almost quaffable...This one is interesting, since nose and palate are different (palate better here!). Very tasty."

"A pretty Diamond that starts with an opulent nose, spices perfuming the nostrils with a kind of heaviness accentuated by wood and pastry notes on molasses, toffee and caramel. Leather, nuts and peanut notes give something original with fruit (pineapple, papaya, raisin) tobacco and a hint of freshness on flowers. It's greedy and complete. The attack on the palate is round, creamy and truly gourmand. Exotic fruits, citrus and dried fruits set the pace, followed by spices (cinnamon, vanilla and licorice), leather, wood, toasted notes (walnut, coffee) and the sweetness of chocolate, caramel, toffee and molasses. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish, long, bitter and balanced, stays on the same register on the palate, confirming the greediness and richness of the flavors. A well-executed Diamond that's terribly easy to drink."
