    I can't do anything with this Diamond... it's neither fish nor meat. The aromas somehow don't fit together. The nose is floral, fruity and sweet at first. The longer it lingers, it becomes smoky. On the palate, it seems thin or watered down at first! This is followed by smoke, bitterness, wood and charred notes. The finish is vegetal please... I can't recognize anything of the Guyana Diamond

    Undefinierbar. Alkohol aber ganz ok integriert.

    In der Tat leider etwas Whisky lastig. Nicht wirklich Islay torfig, aber dennoch so stark nach Whisky, dass es den Rum kaputt macht. Highlights für mich: eine leichte Pfirsich-Note sowie etwas heller Tee. Muss man nicht probieren. Wer Scotch mag, kann ihn ja mal probieren. Aber vom 1998 Diamond ist definitiv nix mehr zu schmecken.

    Also ganz ehrlich bin ich mir nicht gerade sicher ob dies wirklich ein Rum aus Guyana ist. Entweder bin ich gerade total Geschmackseingeschränkt oder das Teil schmeckt wirklich nur nach einem torfigen Whisky. Leider überhaupt nicht mein Fall.
