"This one has a somewhat thinner texture compared to its 2001 Skeldon brothers. Excellent bottling nevertheless!"
"Dark, toasty, heavy. You have to be in the mood for this drop. I like it!REV in easy sipping. 🤪"
"I have had a short break from tasting because I felt like 2-3 days a week with tasting was a bit over the top. Back in shape again and we had a wonderful evening yesterday. This was the last one and what a rum. Nice and fruity from nose to finish. Spicy on the palate with a light dryness to it. "
"Nach längerer Pause gönne ich mir heute zwei schöne V&M Guyana. Fange mal mit dem 18yo Diamond an. Nase: deswegen liebe ich Demerara-Rum. Wunderschöne, volle holzig-würzig-röstige Aromen. Dazu dunkle Früchte: Brombeere, getrocknete Pflaume, getrocknete Johannisbeere und getrocknete Aprikose sowie Blutorange. Daneben finde ich eine angenehme Tabak-Schokoladen-Mischung, leicht karamellisiert und von dunklen, röstigen Aromen begleitet. Hinzu kommt ein leichter Hauch Minze, Vanille und schwarzer Pfeffer. 8,8 Gaumen: oha, ordentlich holzig und röstig. Zwar auch bitter, aber nicht unangenehm. Als erstes kommen da Muskat und Mokka, malzig und fast etwas verkohlt. Jetzt die etwas feineren Aromen von saurer-lakritziger Melasse, Cola und Toffee, hat auch ein bisschen Hefe. Hinten dann noch mal Schokolade, Vanille und Rosine. 8,6 Im Abgang bleibt die Melasse mit Rosine präsent. Gefällt mir richtig gut. Tolle Balance zwischen Melasse, Holz und Karamell-Schokolade."
