Our Rum & Spirits Diamond Guyana 2003
Highly regarded as a powerful, dark Guyana rum with good balance and value. Intense roasted wood, caramel and fruit please most drinkers once it has time to breathe.
Fans of strong, dark Demerara-style rums who enjoy roasted oak, caramel and dried fruit at high ABV and appreciate good price-performance from small, limited bottlings.

A nice Rum, surprising me. Unfortunately it is not clear what Mark was used, it is noted as column still, but the result is quite intense with flavours and smooth at the same time. There may be a bit added sugar, but I am not sure. Quite balanced (at least to me), but I also gave this a long time to breathe. Very fruity and not much bitterness.
Heavy sweetness meets roasted nuts, smoke and bitter wood notes and fresh citrus notes. I like it a lot and it proved to be a top PLV at the issue price.
Habe diesen 13yo 2003er Diamond von ORS zusammen mit dem 14yo ORS und dem neuen 2003er Diamond von Elizabeth Yard im Glas. Die Rums haben ein sehr ähnliches Profil, der EY hat den intensivsten Antritt. Dieser 13yo ORS ist süßer und frischer als der EY, die röstigen Aromen nicht ganz so präsent wie beim EY. Die Zitrusfrucht ist zitroniger, die Beeren sind verhaltener, dafür noch einen Hauch Vanille, der Kakao ist schokoladiger. Der Mund ist überraschend intensiv, leider ist der Alkohol mit etwas Biss zu spüren. Die Früchte bleiben überraschend frisch, mit deutlicher Säure, neben den Zitrusfrüchten gibt es weiter Himbeeren und die bekannten röstigen Aromen von der Karamellfärbung. Der Abgang ist nicht zu bitter, Röstaromen und die saure Frucht bleibt erhalten. Der Rum ist schon gut und ohne Fehler, aber ich finde das Profil insgesamt nicht so spannend, es ist doch ein eher einfaches Column still Destillat. Die Reihenfolge heute Abend ist klar: Der Elisabeth Yard, ist zwar kein Port Mourant aber ein sehr guter Vertreter aus dem Batch. Der 13yo von ORS ist der zweitbeste dieser Session, der 14 yo kann leider nicht mithalten.
