    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this cask-strength Diamond 2008 for its dark dried-fruit and dark-chocolate profile wrapped in roasted wood and burnt sugar. The mouthfeel is oily with a long, raisin-tinged finish; many find the 63.6% well integrated and good value when sipped neat after some air or a splash of water. A popular, limited single cask (298 bottles), though some note a bitter, woody/licorice edge.

    The Ed. 39 from the Rumclub, a 2006 REV (RX16863), is already a very successful bottling, but RX16863 is no match for the Rumclub's new stroke of genius, especially on the palate. It is rounder, more complex, deeper, fuller-bodied, stronger, more palatable, sweeter, oilier. And I'm not saying that because I live in Berlin and am therefore close to the source. See for yourself. This is supposed to be a 2008 Diamond? It really seems to me that the barrel was mixed up and a REV was sent to Spirit of Rum instead of the Diamond. And not a 2006 REV, but actually a 1994. Can that really be the case? I hope there will soon be a comment function here, then I could read your direct reactions. For me, this is a hot contender for rum of the year without hesitation. Drink it and you'll agree with me. If it is a Diamond after all, which I hope will be verified by tasting experts, it seems to me to be most similar to the MDXC profile from 2004 (RX7442). Or perhaps the 96 (RX10043, RX10046)? 🤔 I'll stick with REV 1994 for now. 😉 Exciting!

    Wieder eine super gelungene Abfüllung, Guyana steht bei mir hoch im kurs und diese intensiven dunklen getrockneten Früchte die sowohl an der Nase und auch am Gaumen durchkommen hervorragend, das Holz und die angenehme süße von gebranntem Zucker Runden diesen Rum ab. Der Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Und sehr angenehmer Abgang. Für mich schmeckt er wie ein REV, wirklich top. Danke fürs Sample G.

    Another super successful bottling, I am a big Guyana fan and I find these intense dark dried fruits that come through both on the nose and on the palate excellent, the wood and the pleasant sweetness of burnt sugar round off this rum. The alcohol is well integrated and it is really easy to drink. A few minutes in the glass won't do it any harm. I can't say for sure whether this is a REV or a Diamaond, but it definitely meets my taste.

    Once again, a very good hand was shown in the choice of cask. This is a Guyana rum to my taste. Dark aromas characterized by molasses, liquorice and chocolate are complemented by fine dried fruits. The aftertaste could be a little less herbal for my taste, then I would be in spirit heaven. Compared to its sister cask (RX16020), this rum is not quite as molasses-like, dark and burnt, but there is more fruit to be found. For me, both bottlings are on a par, although I like the Edition No. 46 a little better.
