How does this rum taste?
The Rasta Morris is a limited edition rum produced at Guyana's renowned Diamond Distillery, distilled in 2004 and aged for 14 years. With a high ABV of 60.5%, this rum features a deeply complex profile characterized by aromas of burnt sugar, wood, and prunes, combined with flavors of bitterness, roasted tones, and a hint of licorice. Despite these intriguing characteristics, user feedback notes a somewhat overpowering bitterness and woodiness that dampens the tasting experience. While some appreciate its robust profile and subtle vanilla and cocoa notes, others find the alcohol integration less than ideal, affecting the overall balance. This rum, bottled by Asta Morris, is especially notable for collectors due to its scarcity, with only 70 bottles available.

Un diamond comme je les aiment très boisé, avec beaucoup de fruits rouges, d'agrumes amers, des épices et un caramel tantôt gourmand tantôt très poussé. Des notes de bonbons à la violette apporte une petite fraîcheur très agréable. L'alcool est peut-être un peu trop présent à mon gout.
MDXC sagt der Broker, was immer das heißen soll (Main Diamond ? Colored vielleicht). Einigermaßen sicher ist, dass es ist gefärbter Versailles ist. Das heißt dunkle Kräutersuppe, Lakritz und reichlich Röstaromen (verbranntes Karamell) und Dörrpflaumen. Schöne Nase ohne Überraschungen, smoother als z.b. der RA MDXC (allerdings ist meine Flasche schon tüchtig oxidiert) Im Mund: Keine Überraschungen. Er schmeckt wie er riecht. Sehr röstig, die in der Nase präsentieren Trockenfrüchte treten etwas zurück. Der Rum ist ziemlich bitter, was m.E. aber eher von der Färbung als dem Holz kommt. Alkoholintegration ist in Ordnung. Der Abgang ist kurz und unspektakulär, aber der bittere Geschmack von verbranntem Karamell bleibt noch lange auf der Zunge. 2004 ist sicher nicht das beste Versailles Vintage, aber würde er offiziell REV heißen, wären die Bewertungen sicher durchschnittlich 5 Punkte höher.
Nose starts off very nice and complex but develops into a very woody / burnt experience quickly after some time in the glas. Also woody and dark notes dominat on the palate. Finish is a little short ending on a rather hollow woody note. All in all not really bad imho, but a little unassuming with no real highlights.
25.09.2019 Had a nice meet up with friends at this nice hotel near the airport. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, anise, floral, faint coffee, plum, faint smoke. Palate Warm, wood, light roasted, light coffee, dried fruit, plum, medium dry, light earthy. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, light coffee, plum, faint chocolate.
