This rum combines smoky, salty elements with citrus and spice. An intense profile likened to Islay whisky, it inspires both admiration and division among drinkers.

    How does this rum taste?

    The 2008 Guyana rum from the Diamond distillery, bottled by Liquid Treasures, offers a unique experience. Distilled with a Pot Still from molasses and aged for 12 years, it showcases a bold 60.3% ABV. Users describe it as having complex aromas of lemon, nutmeg, and hints of smoke, resembling a crossover between rum and Islay whisky. On the palate, notes of alcoholic heat, grapes, and anise emerge, producing a robust and exploratory tasting journey. This rum sparks comparisons to whiskies with its smoky and salty undertones but maintains a distinct, vegetal finish that intrigues whisky and rum enthusiasts alike. Its varied profile makes it a polarizing yet engaging choice for seasoned tasters.

    Typischer, etwas biestiger PM.

    Extrem bitter, modrig, salzig, medizinisch und Holzig. Leider überhaupt nicht mein Fall... Erinnert sehr stark an Islay Whisky wie bowmore oder Talisker.

    small touch of sweetness coming from the cask. prefer a slightly more austere PM but still very good.

    We're on a nose after mowing the lawn. PMs are always special, with all the traditional markers present: smoky, burnt, woody. It's not crazy, but you want to try it. On the palate, it's fat and smoky. It's close to certain whiskies. It's long, but not long enough for my taste, with herbaceous notes. It's always nice to dive back into a PM, but I still have my unrivalled personal reference of L'Esprit en PM.
