How does this rum taste?
RumX members highlight a smoky, whisky-leaning profile with peat, tea and charred wood. The nose brings peach and a hint of grassy molasses, while the palate is light, dry and smoky with whisky and black tea. Several reviewers note it’s not a classic Diamond style and feels a bit reduced. A 22-year, 46.6% limited release (219 bottles) that some Scotch fans appreciate.

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
8,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is a grassy and flowery molasses, fruity with pear and citrus fruits, slightly salty and peated. On aeration, the wood is charred and spicy, with whisky finish notes, slightly metallic, fruity with peaches and pineapple, banana and the molasses is herbaceous, minty, vegetal with tea.In the end, caramelized Demerara sugar rounds the nose notes. 7,7:On the palate, the attack is light, dry, grassy and flowery, fresh with tea, fruity with pear, citrus and yellow fruits, as the wood is charred, smoky with caramel, spicy, slightly bitter with peat, metallic patina and rubber.When oxidation does its job, some new fruits join like pineapple and jack fruit, dried fruits, the molasses becomes herbaceous and the wood brings dark chocolate, perhaps cocoa and nuts. 7,5:The finish is long, dry, slightly dirty, furry, the molasses brings pencil shavings, black tea, is fresh and flowery, mineral, while we have faint fruits, like jack fruit...and nutty, spicy wood, vanilla is the most obvious. Clearly PM..
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.
