Dark, roasted Diamond MDS: coffee, licorice and woody spice lead to dark chocolate and dried fruit. Strong at 65%, but rewarding; great value after air or a splash of water.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its dark, roasted Guyana profile—coffee, licorice and woody spice on the nose with dark chocolate and dried fruit on the palate. At 65% cask strength it’s powerful with a long, warming finish; many let it breathe or add a splash of water. Praised for value and classic Diamond MDS character, this popular pick (86 reviews) comes from a limited 288-bottle release.

    Blindly I would have guessed REV (malt, licorice, molasses, gentle) in the smell, KFM (earth, wood, leather, black tea, strong) in the taste. Definitely 100% Guyana and quite to my taste. A very fine droplet at a comparatively affordable price. I'm afraid I'll have to stock up on this rum. 😋 Update 2023-07-29: Slight downgrade from 89 to 87 points: The rum lacks a bit of fruitiness to play at the top.

    Really strong, really good Diamond, full bodied, powerfull, but needs time to fully open up! Pay attention to the spiciness nose! First I guess this one is frome enmore🤔 I got some bottles, so I secured for the next months 🤤😃

    A nose where the alcohol is present but not dominant, old varnished wood followed by overripe banana, pineapple and a hint of pastry. Flavors are precise, but the alcohol remains lively. The alcohol also marks the palate, but without dominating. The greediness sensed on the nose is revealed and blends harmoniously with varnished wood and dried banana. The finish is a little disappointing, a little too short, but a bitter, vegetal caramel lingers for a very long time. A very fine rum with smoky aromas in the empty glass, balanced despite the lively alcohol. Its not entirely convincing finish loses it a few points.

    MDS, i.e. from the Savalle still (of which there are two at DDL). The color seems to me very dark, probably, colored. The high ABV is already clearly perceptible on the nose and palate. A few drops of water make the RumClub rounder. Otherwise, a nice profile with spices, dried fruit, tobacco, leather....
