Diamond Plantation Guyana (Big Peat Islay Malt Scotch Whisky Cask) 2011

Most praise it as a bold, smoky Islay‑style experiment; critics say the peat kills any Guyana rum character. Consensus: a divisive but interesting hybrid mainly for peated whisky fans.

    How does this rum taste?

    Peated-whisky lover’s rum experiment
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Octomore, Ardbeg or other big Islay peat bombs, this will feel like a fun rum twist; if you mainly love fruity molasses rums, you’ll likely find it overwhelming.

    Not really suitable for

    Rum drinkers seeking classic Guyana molasses notes, anyone who dislikes peat or smoke, and beginners wanting an easy, traditional, sugar-forward sipper.

    Der Einfluss des Islay Malts ist sehr dominant. Beim Eintreffen im Mund explodiert eine torfige Rauchbombe. Erst durch viel Kauen kommt noch ein bisschen was vom Rum durch. Muss man schon abkönnen, aber mir gefällt es. Plantation Masterclass-Onlinetasting am 04.04.24, vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.

    Guyana plus Rauch, das ist wild. Rauchig, speckig, irgendwo durchbrochen von Frucht und minimaler Minze. Weitaus süßer als erwartet, dann Guyana, und hintenrum kommt dann der Rauch. Und wie. Weiterhin süß, aber im Prinzip steht man hier mitten in der Räuchefkammer. Wild. Und großartig wenn man drauf steht. Finish bleibt dann ähnlich, Rauch und Süße die sich nicht ganz einig werden können. Mir persönlich gefällt das sehr, verstehe aber auch jeden der hier komplett aussteigt.

    Yes Baby, ist jedenfalls ein richtig geiler Plantation. Holz ohne Ende,aber das war ja erwartbar. Na ja ist jedenfalls sehr rauchig dieser Rum. Holz ist hier überwiegend zu schmecken. Auf jeden Fall sehr lecker.

    8:On the nose, the first impression we get is smoky, ashy, but much more restrained as in real Islay whisky.Subtle notes of iodine, sulphur are paired with dried fruits.A hint of bacon also creeps in, some cinnamon, beeswax, slightly burnt cloves, a hint of vanilla. The wood is charred with caramel, chocolate, roasted nuts, some burnt sugar, very creamy, oily. The molasses is vegetal with herbal, grassy, minty notes. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is powerful with cold smoke like from a burnt-out cigar, salt, tobacco, leathery tones, some smoked bacon again, plus typical rum notes of brown sugar, fruit and a hint of coconut in the background, very oily and round.The molasses is vegetal, a bit bitter with herbal, minty notes and black tea.The wood is roasted and toasted, spicy with candied caramel, chocolate, nuts, perhaps nougat.Tasty and creamy. 8,2:The finish is long with light smoke, charred wood notes like chocolate, candied caramel, nuts.The fruits are dried, the rum dry, musty. Edit:27.6.25, oxidation helps rounding the rum
