How does this rum taste?
The "SSN" rum is a remarkable product from the Diamond distillery in Guyana, bottled by Velier. Distilled in 1996 and aged for 16 years, this limited release of only 828 bottles features a potent 63.4% ABV. Crafted from molasses, it delivers a complex aroma with dominant notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The palate is delightfully sweet, blending flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco and anise. Users note that a drop of water enhances its flavor profile, making it a sophisticated choice among Demerara rums. While it maintains a high-quality standard, some find it a tad alcoholic.

Not quite in the top group of Diamonds, but still extremely high quality level. Beautiful Diamond notes, but without that certain something.
Perfect sweet profile with coconut, molasses, vanilla, pastries, chocolate. A true desert. 🤩
We had a wonderful pure Diamond tasting yesterday and what a tasting. Another wonderful rum that also released a lot of extra flavours after a drop of water was added.
A tad too alcoholic for a top rating.
