S.B.S Guyana 2014 PM/DHE

Very fruity on the nose with some glue, PM comes through only slightly.On the palate first fruity much glue then you notice but that it is a Guyana with some wood, chocolate and light herbal note.Absolutely exciting rum.I like very much.

Very interesting blend. Heavy on esters on the nose with a hint of PM. Profil is destinct and more interesting than a Jamaica clone from Guyana. Creamy on the palate with fruity and PM notes combined.

In the nose a lot of glue, on the palate a good blend of Diamond Guyana and tropical matured Long Pond. With a longer storage it certainly has a very good potential!

An interesting PM that has its own higher ester/congener content via fermentation... sounds worth trying. Nose: oha, indeed unusual for a PM. At first almost artificial and overly floral-sweet with lots of coconut milk and vanilla, with smoke, some vinegar and woody-spicy. But then becomes more and more pleasant, you smell yourself so pure. Tropical fruits with sugar take over. 7,9 Palate: very unusual here too. First briefly astringent with esters, then immediately artificially bacon-y sweet, marzipan, some umami, fat pecan and tonka bean. Oh yes, now also glue and something metallic. At the back again more sweetish-woody-lacric. 8.1 Not bad and also quite drinkable, you can deal with, but for me somehow not quite coherent.

Unusual rum. I've never had anything like it in a glass. At first I still thought: Well, smells and tastes like one of many High-Ester Jamaicans. But then suddenly: Turns the beast but simply in the glass and looks at me directly with his dark eyes. Turns out to be a Guyana leather wolf in Jamaica ester sheep's clothing - really freaky! For this unique spin on the palate, the rum gets two extra (tenth?😜)points.

In the nose comes a dense cloud reminiscent of nail polish and glue - in a positive sense. 🤓 After some rest, the lacquer associations diminish and the nose becomes more accessible and pleasant. An exciting blend of Guyana and Jamaica (with a touch of TECA brutality) awaits on the palate. Quite a new and exciting profile. With a few years of additional barrel aging can arise there about quite exciting.For a very good rating, however, he is still a tad too wild for me.

WOW, what kind of Guyana I have in the glass? ... On the nose esters, solvent, apricots and fruit! Great!

8,2:On the nose, esters and other medicinal notes like glue, nail polish, perhaps menthol, bump into our nosetrils, with overripe tropical fruits, orange peel and roasted wood notes like chocolate, spices like vanilla. On aeration, caramel, leather and nuts come out, Jaffa fruitcake/biscuit note, fruits like grapes, red and yellow fruits and herbaceous molasses. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is intense, funky with esters, solvents and overripe tropical and yellow fruits, later red fruits, currants, roasted wood notes like leather, crème brûlée and spices like pepper, brine, quickly with dry and astringent bias.When the rum is oxidized, herbaceous and metallic patina might be recognized. 8,2:The finish is long, dry and furry, with spicy, roasted wood notes and earthy, herbaceous molasses, yellow fruits, slightly briny and metallic..

First of all, thank you dear Gunnar for the split, it has already arrived. I tried it right away today. For me, the esters don't come through as expected, which unfortunately gives it a few minus points. I had expected something much wilder. Otherwise a solid bottling and a good cigar companion

What a Guyana ... on the nose esters, solvent and a pot full of fermented apricots and yellow fruits! Then the palate, here show the first Guyana markers, but again interspersed with esters and solvents... really funky, but as it goes on, a peppery spiciness asserts itself, which clouds the picture a bit.The finish pleases wueder. Medium length with nice notes of sweetness, slightly salty and something herbaceous roasted.With the years could emerge what really good

An original combo of High Ester rums and the rich terroir of Guyana. The nose plunges into medicinal notes with esters, solvents, glue and nail polish. Very ripe red fruits (cherry, raspberry) follow right behind with grapes. Notes of Port Mourant become more noticeable with aeration, offering tea and aromatic herbs, a fairly pronounced spiciness, balanced oak and a touch of leather. A rum that's different from the ordinary, blowing like a breeze of freshness. The attack on the palate is interesting: the funky, medicinal side contrasts with the more herbaceous, spicy, astringent and metallic notes of Port Mourant. Although the flavors are not very miscible on the palate, this stylistic opposition nevertheless forms a profile with a varied aromatic palette that's fairly consistent with what you'd expect from such a blend. Flavors of red and tropical fruit, tea and caramel lend a touch of sweetness to this astringent, dry and intense profile. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is of good length, still combining the two facets of rum but differently. Spices (pepper, chili, licorice, vanilla) and wood dominate, supported by earthy, herbaceous notes. The profile gains in astringency and phenolic notes on the finish, before evoking some more distant exotic fruits. A wonderful discovery that gives a new lease of life to Guyana's young rums, which unfortunately suffer from comparisons with their elders of the last century.

auf den war ich schon sehr gespannt. Der erste auf die Flasche gebrachte DHE/PM blend. An der Nase keine crazy Ester-Bombe a la C<>H, eher ‚verdünnt’ auf LROK- oder HLCF-Niveau. Aber immerhin noch so viel, dass die PM-typischen Noten (wie Olive, Kräuter, Tee) nur dezent wahrnehmbar (bzw erst nach einiger Standzeit besser ortbar) simd. Am Gaumen dann umgekehrt, es dominiert PM (würzig, junges Fass), die DHE-Komponente (Säure) tritt in den Hintergrund. Gelungenes Experiment, aber schade, dass DDL den DHE nicht mal in seiner Reinform einschenkt!

Die Nase geht tatsächlich sehr Richtung Jamaika mit Lösungsmittel, Klebstoff, Nagellack und trop. Früchten im Vordergrund. Der braucht eine ganze Weile bis auch typische PM Noten wahrnehmbar sind. Auch am Gaumen könnte man meinen man wäre auf Jamaika. Spannender Rum mit sehr gut integriertem Alkohol.

Excellent bottling, which shows a different facet of DDL for once

Die Nase erinnert an Jamaika: Lösungsmittel, Klebstoff, Nagellack und tropische Früchte, PM-Noten kommen später. Am Gaumen erst jamaikanisch, dann klar Demerara mit Kräutrigkeit, Metall und Klebstoff. Spannend, gut integriert, mit Potenzial für mehr!Vielleicht ein paar Monde zub früh aus dem Fass, aber ein nahezu perfekter Begleiter für einen Frühlingsabend!
