TBRC Diamond Diamond Distillery (Savalle Still) SVL

"Thanks to Lukasdrinkinghabits for the varied split. I like the rum very much, the alcohol is well integrated and the taste is very balanced. A comparison with the other batches is still pending."

"Crosstasted with batch #2 from TBRC. This is a whole class better. Much more complex, aromatic and with more depth and, above all, clear fruit aromas of the red kind. It's really fun"

"Direct comparison of the two TBRC Diamond Savalle SVL bottlings of batches #2 (19 yo / rx18179 and #4 / 18760) Both are nice and dark in color but not too malty due to the coloration. The nose of batch #2 is nice and dark but a bit reserved (but gets better after a while and coconut is added) and great fruity notes in batch #4. On the palate, nice dried fruit in batch #4 and a bit more bitter, malty but also drier in batch #2. Both are good, but my preference clearly goes to batch #4"

"Very fruity on the nose, especially raisin with some blackberry. The mouthfeel is somewhat wine-like. The smell can also be found in the taste, with slightly more chocolate notes. Very tasty rum! I think I need to drink more Diamond"

"Very interesting Diamond. Almost exclusively aromas of dried fruit (plum, raisin) on the nose. The taste is a rather dry rum with a medium finish. For me, the alcohol is very well integrated."

"I really like it on the nose. I find a nice fruitiness and slightly vinous aromas here. On the palate too. Quite fruity, balanced, round. The alcohol is well integrated and doesn't interfere, it's really easy to drink. The finish is short to medium-long and quite unspectacular. For me, the bottom line is that it's a pretty nice wine that's very easy to drink and doesn't do anything wrong, but doesn't necessarily excite either."

"This is the most fruit-scented Guyana I can remember. Unexpected and fun. I haven't studied it to see if it has a finish, but even from the very fruity taste I'd guess it's port or sherry. I'm enjoying this quite a bit, my only complaint would be the truncated finish."

"The richness and depth of flavour are absolutely first class. A proper thick and oily rum that coats your mouth with sultana, caramel and leathery notes. A very long and chewy finish follows."
