    How does this rum taste?

    The 2003 Diamond Distillery Rum is a limited edition bottling by Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro, hailing from Guyana and aged for 14 years. It entices with a nose of citrus, oak, and brown sugar, transitioning into flavors of tobacco, leather, and citrus with smoky and barrel notes. With an ABV of 55.8%, this rum offers a powerful complexity appreciated by enthusiasts, yet some find the sweetness pronounced. Tasting notes emphasize the warming wood, citrus, and spices with a medium-long finish. Limited to only 253 bottles, this rum is a sought-after experience for those appreciating rich, nuanced Demerara rums.

    Pleasing Diamond, heavy sweetness, spice, wood, some citrus notes - good release, though without the very big sophistication.

    07.02.2020 Private tasting i was invited to. Notes. Light in colour. Nose: Wood, light roasted, citrus, light smoke, chocolate. Palate: Sweet, wood, roasted, light licorice, anise, dried fruit, citrus. Finish: Medium long, wood, chocolate, citrus, spice.

    If I had not known better (but error excluded), I could have sworn stone and stone, this would be the parallel tasted SBS Diamond Versailles 2003 (Marsala finish, RX4341) because of a strongly perceptible sweet wine barrel. [In principle, nice rum, which you really do not notice its Guyana origin, but for me a tad too thickly applied sweetness. Ideal to lead someone on a blind tasting nicely on the ice. 🤣

    An excellent wine. Good length. Very good, powerful, complex rum.
