    How does this rum taste?

    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.

    Heute einen Newcomer zum Testen im Glas. Zieht Leiche Fäden. Nase nicht übermäßig stark aber gut. Sirup, gebrannter Zucker, Malz, etwas vergorene Früchte. Am Gaumen dann deutlich mehr Aromen: Dunkle Schokolade, Kaffee, vergorene Früchte, etwas Menthol, ganz wenig Lösungsmittel und einige Süße. Allerdings könnte der Alkohol besser eingebunden sein. Der Rum versteckt seine 62,1% nicht. Der Abgang ist lang und ordentlich trocken. Gefällt mir gut. PLV aufgrund der Komplexität für knapp 85 EUR wirklich gut.

    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

    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.

    Sehr schöne dunkle Noten. Malzig, dunkle Schokolade, Lakritze ein paar Kräuter, Melasse. Schöner mittellanger Nachklang und sehr süffig. Sehr guters PLV. Die erste Abfüllung vom Rumbuddy macht mich neugierig, was da noch alles seinen Wegvin die Flasche findet.
