Diamond Plantation Guyana (Big Peat Islay Malt Scotch Whisky Cask) 2011 12yr 49,2%
The Plantation Guyana (Big Peat Islay Malt Scotch Whisky Cask) rum is an adventurous blend of Guyanese rum, aged in Islay whisky casks. Distilled in 2011 and matured for 12 years at the Diamond Distillery, it boasts a high 49.2% ABV. Drinkers describe dominant peat and smoke, with notes of salty bacon and whisky. Users often debate its resemblance to smoky whisky and the noticeable lack of traditional Guyanese rum character. It seems particularly polarizing, appealing to those fond of Islay malts but disappointing rum purists. This unusual cross-category aging has cultivated strong opinions.

“Nose: Peat, burnt sugar. Palate: I can't drink it after the first sip because it doesn't taste like rum at all, just Islay whisky. Goes down the drain. Still 40 points because of the reasonably interesting nose. Addendum: A fitting example of how coarse-dominant whisky from Islay is and how you can ruin any rum with it. Conclusion: Hands off such experiments! (I've tried it myself: Islay whisky is like a constrictor and in the end even gets Hampden-DOK under it aromatically if you mix the two).”

“Hmm, wenn ich Whiskygeschmack haben möchte, dann greife ich auch zu Whisky und nicht zu Rum, der im Whiskyfass lagerte. Streng genommen lagern fast alle Rums im Whiskyfass - im Bourbonfass. Dieser lagerte aber in einem Islay-Whisky Fass. Ist Geschmackssache, mein Fall ist es nicht. Jedoch gebe ich zu, für das was es ist, ist es nicht schlecht. Guter Kandidat für ein U-Boot in einem Whiskytasting 😁 Ergänzung: Leider auch wieder mit spürbaren Zuckerzusatz”
