    How does this rum taste?

    • Distinctive Guyanese profile
    • Pleasant dried fruit aroma
    • Smooth, easy-drinking nature

    CRHUM No. 1 is a unique rum distilled in 1996 at Guyana's Diamond distillery, selected and bottled by Corman Collins. Produced from molasses with an ABV of 41.7%, only 197 bottles were made available, making it a collector's delight. This rum exudes aromas of raisin, prunes, and treacle, leading to a palate rich in dried fruits, wood, and roasted hints. Despite its mild profile, users appreciate its traditional Guyanese character albeit lacking in complexity due to its lower alcohol content. It is priced at a premium, appealing to both enthusiasts and casual drinkers who enjoy a lighter rum.

    "Sehr liebliche Nase, die tatsächlich etwas vom klassischen Diamond-Eichenprofil aus den 90er Jahren transportiert, wenngleich natürlich angesichts der Trinkstärke alles deutlich weniger komplex und verwoben daherkommt. Am Gaumen wird der Rum zwar nicht wässrig, aber er vermag trotzdem nicht mehr ganz mit der Nase mitzuhalten - es wartet viel Karamellsüsse, die den Rest des Profils aus dunkler Schokolade, Milchkaffee und Holz etwas überlagert. Angenehm zu trinken, aber gleichzeitig ohne den letzten Kick."

    "Eigentlich genau mein Geschmack. Aber Geschmack allein reicht nicht, sondern für mich zählt mindestens auch Intensität. Aber dies ist ein sehr, sehr milder Vertreter. Für mich genau richtig für einen unspektakulären Abend an einer netten Hotelbar, aber in einem Crosstasting mit anderen Rums wäre er wegen seiner Verdünnung hoffnungslos unterlegen. Wie ein zu sehr gestutzter Baum. Etwas schade, denn der Rum schmeckt wirklich ziemlich gut."

    "Irgendwie etwas dünn, unkomplex, weißt aber trotzdem das typische Guyana Profil auf."

    "Ich mag das Diamond-Profil eigentlich sehr gerne. Leider fehlt es hier an Komplexität, wahrscheinlich auch aufgrund des niedrigen ABV. Am Gaumen viel Melasse und Lakritz, was etwas eindimensional wirkt."
