Velier Diamond & Versailles SVSG 1996 18yr 57,9%

RX1724 Excellent Pot & Column Still Rum 570 bottles Above 250€
“Complex, rich layers of dark fruits, herbs, and sweet notes.”

The SVSG is a limited-release rum from Guyana, produced at the Diamond & Versailles distillery and selected and bottled by Velier. Distilled in 1996 from molasses with a pot and column still, this rum was aged for 18 years, resulting in an ABV of 57.9%. With only 570 bottles available, it features unique notes of licorice, prunes, coffee, and polish on the nose, as well as prunes, licorice, barrel, full-bodied, and dark chocolate flavors on the palate. Our RumX community appreciates it for its complexity, well-balanced and deep Demerara blend. The nose and palate both deliver an intriguing blend of aromas and flavors that seem to develop further as the rum rests in the glass. Overall, the SVSG is highly regarded for its rich taste, balanced profile, and memorable finish.

“I am impressed! I have not had the rum in the glass for a long time. Meanwhile, I like it even better. Wonderfully complex blend. Currently I feel more Diamond with the typical glue note, molasses, wood, dark dry fruits, less Versailles notes.”

“A rum that ran with me for a long time something under the radar - but that does not do justice to the bottling. The <S> Marque of Diamond is quite recognizable thanks to the dominant licorice notes. In my eyes, clearly the best Demerara blend of Velier.”
