Diamond Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 36 MDS

Aroma bursts with wood, coffee, and dried fruit, while the palate is dominated by dark chocolate, roasted notes, and licorice. The community agrees this cask strength release balances depth, spice, and value—well worth a try for fans of strong Diamond rums.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex dark chocolate and coffee notes
    • Impressive value for aged cask strength
    • Bold, classic Guyana profile

    Dark chocolate and roasted coffee lead the charge in this robust 15-year-old Diamond, backed by woody, spicy, and dried fruit notes. The high ABV delivers power, yet many find the integration impressive after some rest, revealing layers of licorice, caramel, and molasses. For those who appreciate bold Guyanese profiles and value, this is a bottle to discover.

    "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."

    "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...."
