    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the vivid red‑fruit and caramel character of this 2003 Diamond SVL: vanilla‑cherry on the nose, then caramel, toffee and herbal‑woody spice at cask strength. Many suggest resting or a splash of water to soften some alcohol heat. A popular, much‑discussed release with 66 reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited run of 161 bottles offers a distinctive, sweet‑tinged take that intrigues Demerara fans.

    Very spicy nose ... Wood, sherry, candied fruit... Leather , quite sweetish minimal floral hints. On the palate again sweetish bitter ... Wood, roasted nuts ... Nougat. Dried fruits and again slightly floral. No surprise but quite ok.

    Absolutely not my cup of tea. Smells and tastes like organic waste, but not the nice Jamaica Ester kind.

    A fruity - sweet rum with a slight acidity reminiscent of vinegar. There are still herbs and various spices and a bitterness. The alcohol I felt only moderately well integrated. Nevertheless, an interesting rum.

    Phuuu...... No idea if there's something wrong with my sample, but this was really awful to the point of being undrinkable. The nose gives nothing away... Biting alcohol, something medicinal, a whole bunch of unpleasant spices, wood and herbs. In the mouth it gets almost worse: dryness, bitterness, almost only herbs, cask and nutmeg, all in all incredibly inharmonious. If this rum really is in my sample, I don't understand how you can seriously bottle something like this 🤷🏻‍♂️
