Diamond RA Guyana Rum 1998
Most enjoy the bold orange, spices and well-chosen 52% strength. Critics find it too bitter, floral and almost artificial, weaker than other Diamonds. Consensus: interesting, unique, but not universally liked.
Enthusiasts who enjoy bold, citrus-driven, slightly bitter rums and want a quirky Diamond that leans towards orange liqueur vibes rather than classic molasses heaviness.

How does this rum taste?
Orange-bomb Diamond for adventurous palates
If you like distinctive, citrus-forward sippers (think dry orange liqueur meets Guyana), this will intrigue you; if you want a textbook Diamond, it’ll probably feel off-track.
Beginners expecting sweet, easy rum; fans of traditional heavy Guyana profiles; anyone sensitive to bitter orange or floral, slightly artificial-tasting notes.

Dunkle Töne mit Kräutern und grünem Apfel. Sowohl im Geruch als auch im Geschmack. Der Alkoholstärke ist ideal gewählt. Der Geschmack ist komplex und langatmig. Damals für unter 100€ gekauft und für gut befunden. Für den jetzigen Preis würde ich ihn wahrscheinlich nicht nochmal kaufen
I'll have to taste it again when I'm done with Corona. No sooner said than done. He has barely breathed a few days and I have successfully put Covid behind me, the droplet already tastes much better
Guter Rum. Gibt aber bestimmt interessantere Fässer. Schmeckt einzigartig. Für anspruchsvolle Genießer nicht unbedingt zu empfehlen.
Preparing for the 10th GRF, the day after tomorrow in Berlin.Nose: wow, citrus, orange and spices. Intensely orangeate and potpourri. Some green apple, almost seems a bit artificial and floral. Back out slightly buttery.Palate: here again spicier, some red pepper with cinnamon and cardamom. In addition, but also immediately again the candied orange peel and apple. Slightly bitter and yet somewhat salty-sweet.In the finish it remains spicy, gets a little more wood, retains there orangeate.Already good, but a little too one-dimensional.
