How does this rum taste?

  • Complex flavor profile
  • Limited edition rarity
  • Rich aroma notes

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.

"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."

"Sitting in the cabin, watching the storm outside playing with the trees... Thought this one of the samples I brought was fitting. It is very closed to the nose, later after some water I get Licorice, Wood and burnt Caramel. This translates to the tongue and to the aftertaste. I am a bit disappointed, but it was good nonetheless. The ambience was fitting - a bit harsh alcohol burn, lots of roasted wood and outside the hard weather reigns."

"leider konnte ich nicht ausfindig machen, aus welcher Destille der RM stammt. Vielleicht ein junger Enmore? Die Farbe ist ziemlich dunkel für den eher jungen Jahrgang, vermutlich ist Zuckercouleur im Spiel? An der Nase recht blumig, gelbe Früchte, gebrannter Zucker, Vanille und Fass. Am Gaumen habe ich ebenfalls gebrannten Zucker, daneben Kakao, Holzfass und Tannine. Alles in allem nicht schlecht, aber auch kein Rum der in Erinnerung bleibt."
