    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex dark chocolate notes
    • Rich dried fruit aromas
    • Warm roasted malt flavors

    The Guyana Rum (1st Release) MDS, bottled by Rumbuddy, is crafted at the Diamond Distillery and distilled in 2008 from molasses. This 15-year-aged rum is released in a limited quantity of 218 bottles at cask strength with an ABV of 62.1%. Users praise its complex bouquet of prunes, dried fruit, burnt sugar, and roasted malt. On the palate, it delivers intense flavors of dark chocolate, tobacco, licorice, complemented by menthol and woody undertones. While the alcohol presence is noticeable, the rum's depth, combining sweet and bitter notes with its oily texture, is favored by many.

    "This rum has everything that makes a good Diamond in the under 100 EUR segment. Chocolate, coffee, wood, malt, a little sweetness, a little bitterness. The finish is strong but relatively short, the alcohol is quite well integrated. I'm guessing that MDS is the marque and therefore have to compare the rum with the Diamond 2008 from Spirit of Rum (RX16020). The 1st release (!) from Rumbuddy is certainly a palatable PLV cracker. By the way: I don't like the Diamond SV 2008 from Nobilis (RX18069) tasted at the same time quite as much, it's more on the herbal side."

    "Die erste Abfüllung vom Rumbuddy. Die Specs sind vergleichbar mit dem RumClub No. 36 (muss ich neu nächste Gelegenheit mal vergleichen). PLV geht auf jeden Fall in Ordnung. Edit: gefällt mir doch besser als der RC No. 36, denn er ist am Gaumen weniger sauer, weniger bissig und daher runder. Nase: schön würzig-holzig und dunkel-malzig-röstig. Zu Beginn intensive, süße, weiche, leicht salzige Lakritze. Dunkle Schokolade umgibt getrocknete Blutorange und Dörrpflaume. Ein Spritzer frischer Zitrone ist auch dabei. Sehr leckere, klassische Diamond Nase. 8,4 Gaumen: sehr vollmundig, kräftig und doch weich. Am Anfang salzige Schokolade mit süßer Tonkabohne, dahinter eine leichte Menthol-Note bevor etwas Tabak, malzige Lakritze und krass starker Melassesirup den Mundraum erfüllen. Ja, die Melasse ist am Ende bestimmend - sauer-lakritzig, bitter-salzig. Guter, nicht so kompliziert Diamond-Vertreter. 8,4"

    "Ein typischer jüngerer Diamond mit viel Melasse und Lakritz."

    "Die erste Abfüllung des Rumbuddys, wieviele werden noch folgen? Zum Einstand auf jeden Fall eine gelungene Abfüllung. Kein Überhighlight, aber für den Preis wirklich mehr als solide! Bespielt die volle Klaviatur der dunklen Aromen, das muss man mögen, aber es harmoniert in sich. Ein wahrscheinlich typischer Vertreter der jüngeren Diamonds, der aber durch sein Fass ein besonderes, dunkles Alleinstellungsmerkmal bekommen hat."
