    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise the elegant, discreet sherry touch and a lovely nose of tropical and candied fruits with gingerbread and wood. The 1998 Diamond, aged 18 years at 45%, sips soft, smooth and balanced, showing toffee, honey and a hint of chocolate. A gentle Demerara many recommend as a starter, though some find the palate light with a short finish. A limited release of 312 bottles.

    23.02.2019 A nice afternoon and evening with friends both new and old. Notes. Medium dark in colour. Nose: fresh, wood, dried fruit, light caramel. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, round, dried fruit, caramel, light licorice. Finish: medium long, medium dry, wood, raisin, light chocolate.

    This is a solid rum to start your demerara adventure. Very lovely nose with a good impact of the sherry barrel. In mouth it’s very soft, thin, diluted, uncomplex and unspectacular. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is delicious but short Price to value is actually very bad.

    Dommage la réduction casse la longueur car c’est très bon sinon un bonbon d’épices.

    Ich bin kein Sherryfinish-Fan, erst recht nicht bei Guyanas, aber hier hält sich in der Nase der Sherry gekonnt zurück und unterstreicht gekonnt die Demerara Gene. Der Gaumen kann da nicht mithalten, zu dünn, viel bitteres Holz, ein wenig muffig, ansonsten nicht viel, schade. Tolle Nase 8/10 , Gaumen 5/10
