Bold molasses, coffee and dark chocolate carry a woody, spicy palate with a medium-long, licorice finish. Frequently praised for cocktails and value, though some note bitterness and alcohol heat.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this bold, roasty Guyanese navy rum from Diamond (57% ABV) for its value and cocktail prowess. Expect molasses, caramel and coffee on the nose; the palate turns woody, spicy and dark‑chocolatey with hints of burnt sugar and licorice. Many recommend it for Dark & Stormy or rum & cola, while some sip it neat despite a slight bitter edge. With 45 reviews, confidence is building.

    Very cool dark color😎 It‘s a nice daily driver with some lovely notes of the barrel, dried fruits and dark chocolate, some hidden notes of licorice, prunes and cinnamon. In addition i found a bitter note, which I couldn‘t assign. The alcohol is integrated very well. Allez les bleus🤪

    For me, this is the weakest of the four that Lot-NAS has split. I don't like it pure at all. In my opinion, it doesn't really work that well in the CubaLibre either. I think there are better things for the money, both pure and as a mixer

    The smell is very strong, very spicy, roasted aromas, dark chocolate - extremely pleasant. A taste of coffee, dark chocolate, alcoholic burn, spices, oily finish.A very pleasant Navy rum.

    At the Rum House in Praha. Have noticed that I am not online and here there is no WiFi. Could not save my impressions therefore. So now from memory, which is not difficult no Woods:Insanely dark it is. Neatly colored with sugar cuoleur, that is also to smell and taste (even though it should not 😉)Nose: very dark, spicy, molasses and malty-woody. Clearly dark chocolate and lots of licorice, plus slightly burnt caramel. I don't find it bad at all, seems oldschool somehow. 7.5 Palate: the nose impression continued here. Dark-roasty, malty-woody, lots of molasses, slightly bitter and dark chocolate and licorice to boot. Simple, but effective. Totally ok. 7.6.Matched the evening very well ☺️
