Romdeluxe Diamond Collectors Series No.12 Guyana 16 REV

"Tasted against the RC REV 2006 (RX16863). And hard to detect any difference at all. Perhaps the RdL is a bit smoother and a bit shorter and somehow slightly musty in the finish, where the RC struts away there full of power broad-legged. But this is only a nuance and possibly due to the form of the day. Both rums are extraordinarily successful representatives of their kind. 😍 😍"

"Ein weiterer herrlicher Vertreter der 2006 REV. Ich mag dieses dunkle schwere Profil, gepaart mit etwas Süße. Daran kann ich lange riechen und genüsslich sippen. Ein schöner Rum zum abendlichen Genuss"

"Very similar to the Rev from Milano, but more balanced and smoother."

"#4254 16.09.2023 Whisky N Rum Show 2023. This is a really nicely balanced Diamond and the wood and ABV are really well integrated. I rested it for around 15 minutes and I noticed just how much the profile opened up. Fruity and nice roasted wood notes with light spices on the nose. The palate is lightly dry and spicy with some fruit and spices. Long as in long light dry finish with wood and raisin. Nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass had a light smoky note with some chocolate."

"Lots of flavors - The many years in cask have given a fine touch of cask character, which gives balance in all taste impressions to a delicious round rum that rounds off nicely."

"Kräftiges und würziges Guyana Profil. Die Abfüllung wirkt für mich älter als sie ist. Bspw im Vergleich zum SBS wirkt diese für mich wesentlich tiefer im Geschmack, die Holznoten sind ausgeprägter wenngleich die Fruchtaromen präsent bleiben."

"Blind tasting with DomM Franconian Tasting Gang goes Guyana 2006 REV This one landed unanimously in 1st place. The following rums were compared with each other in the blind crosstasting. RX16863 RX11234 RX14160 RX16395 RX14205 RX14344"

"Slightly softer and overall rounder than the Milano Rum Festival. This rum certainly has its fans."

"Delicious young REV. But could be a little milder, has discreetly what of plum water and then come through the typical bitter molasses, licorice and prune vanilla notes...."

"Winner of our little bind tasting with a very well balanced profile and dried figs. Excellent REV profile."

"Very nice REV. Lots of wood, lots of roasted aromas and pencil shavings. Also dried fruit (plum). The same picture in the mouth. Alcohol barely noticeable. Dry and spicy on the finish. I like it very much."

"Heavy, dark Guyana with beautiful fruit and medicinal notes. There's a lot going on here and aromas from all over the world. Great fruit in the nose and on the palate... at the same time a lot of wood influence and eucalyptus as well as menthol. The mocha content is not so high. I therefore like it very much. Top REV 2006 representative."

"Klasse REV 2006, sehr voll und unglaublich komplex! Im Nachgang eine leicht metallische, bittere Note - die jedoch keineswegs stört. Im Gegenteil, sie unterstreicht die herbe Art des Rums, dem man definitiv einige Minuten Luft lassen sollte um sich voll zu entfalten und milder zu werden"

"Overall a nice and balanced Diamond. Probably not the most complex one but this isn’t always a bad thing."

"Rhum à laisser respirer. Le rancio est très présent au départ mais pas dans le bon sens du terme : arômes genre vieille chaussette ou vieille serpillère humide. Une fois ces désagréments évaporés, on accède à des arômes de pruneaux, de vieux bois, de cuir plus agréable avec une bonne intégration de l'alcool. Il y a toutefois toujours ce relent de vieillerie sale qui perdure en fin de bouche."
