How does this rum taste?
- Complex aroma and flavor profile
- High-quality limited release
- Rich vanilla and caramel notes
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."

"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. "
