Still quite young and wild. However, with some time in the glass, an exciting VSG emerges. Plummy, dark, licorice and some citrus. On the palate, however, it is still a touch too wild for a top rating.

Kann mich leider nicht restlos überzeugen, weil am Gaumen doch etwas zu viel Alkohol durchdringt. Solider Demerara, aber die Alkoholnote erlaubt aus meiner Sicht keine höhere Bewertung.

Manque de fraîcheur surtout en bouche. Amertume un peu trop prononcée. Alcool bien intégré. Après avoir terminé la bouteille, je confirme un ressenti mitigé. Ce rhum est bon mais la forte amertume qui devient plus prononcé avec l'aération, le rend trop sombre...

Rusted along with the 2006 SBS, the first 2004 RA, and the second 1994 RA - the latter is a bit out of line. If the 2006 is a REV, then so are the 2004 MDXC. There are differences, but are as great between the 2004 bottlings as compared to the 2006.This 16yo 2004 lacks that intense herbal note compared to the 12yo bottling - menthol and eucalypthos barely appear, but dried fruit and plenty of spice with prominent licorice and burnt caramel.The 16yo is much more harmonious than the younger one and also brings a bit more depth. I like it well - a pity that I have not bought a bottle, compared to the 12yo he was almost 100% geteurer, but the 2006 puts another 30% on top 🤷♂️.

The palate falls a little compared to the nose, nevertheless very good VSG.

Good rum that for me also always plays something very slightly herbaceous. But will not be my highlight. But lies in the personal taste. Let stand very long

It needs time in the glass. Then it has an intense, woody-spicy nose. Intense blood orange, sulfured apricot, almost plum, dark fruit. Overall dark, caramel, oak with vanilla, cocoa powder, old cola. Also very powerful on the palate, bitter-salty and dry, seems very dark here as well. A bit earthy, almost peaty. Tart oak and then licorice. There is still a slight acidity, as if from black currant.Interesting, but not an easy sipper....

Delicious citrus meets wood, licorice and some leather. A bit bitter on the finish. The alcohol is almost perfectly integrated. Very good VSG.

Beautiful Guyana rum in which I perceive mainly red fruits in taste.

Online tasting at Rum Depot:Great Guyana rum, which was perhaps a little too little to the fore next to the Rockley. Intense, delicious and spicy (prunes or plums wrapped in bacon). A wonderful mouthfeel, great creamy and filling.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Diamond Black's from TRC, so a comparison is very obvious. But as already the 12s from the year 17, I feel this one as much less round and more "special". Especially in the nose, the spicy and woodiness jumps at you literally. This is somehow horny, but also very demanding. Also in the mouth, the spice and woodiness is still very present, but is much more harmonious here. In the end, though, you just have to say that it's already damn tasty. On the palate, he makes a lot of fun and with the competition he can really keep up well

In the nose quite restrained, slightly dried fruit, mild and pleasant!On the palate first slightly acidic , blackberry, then an interplay to the woody roasted and spicy! At the end slightly bitter.In the finish the woody predominates, somewhat astringent and bitter! A very nice round and complex rum

Aged 16 years.....Very dark colorFirst nose rich and heavy with fruits and pastries then spices but quickly degrades with aerationMouth fat, very roasted, bitter, and borderline "dirty", alcohol wise for almost 60%--> I have not tasted much Demerara, Versailles especially.Not completely packed even if atypical and interesting to see something else

Relatively spicy due to high alcohol content. Very round, few stand out flavors
