Diamond S.B.S Guyana SVL

 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 🤷🏻‍♂️

 A Savalle Still but quite different from SWR, ICBU or AN. Artificial, sweet fruit flavors dominate here - I love it! In the nose HubbaBubba strawberry, fermented fruit and caramel candy. Only in the background the dark spiciness one would otherwise expect. In the mouth continues to be very fruity with an estery acidity, followed by allspice and other spices and after just before the finish a slight herbal note. The finish is unfortunately a bit short - here the wood makes itself felt with a slight bitterness.

 Crass number. Blind I would have probably never thought that should be a Guyana rum! Rather a grand arome savanna or le galion with PX finish due to the almost artificial fruitiness after strawberry, cream candy, hubba bubba and laughing gum. In addition, there is a surprisingly intense sweet and light acetic acid, as well as light herbal notes and in the finish minimally bitter, sour and astringent and at the same time syrupy sweet.... Very very unusual...The acetic acid takes some getting used to and definitely not for every day.... And also the sweetness does not seem natural to me...Where these for Guyana untypical notes come from is really a mystery to me and I have never experienced so.For this I would like to get more information, because from Guyana is here almost no trace, at most in the finish then a bit...🤷🏼‍♂️

 Un Diamond qui développe d’abord au nez une facette florale et fraîche sur les herbes aromatiques, avant de laisser place à un fruité qui évolue dans le verre (fruits secs puis fruits rouges) et qui se mélange aux épices, au boisé, aux noix et au cuir. Il y a des notes de caramel et de guimauve comme chauffée sur un feu de camp. Un profil olfactif sensuel. L’attaque en bouche est aux antipodes du nez. L’alcool n’est pas très bien intégré, on ressent un picotement au palais, avec des notes de sherry et de cerise très forte. Paradoxalement à cette agressivité, il y a toujours ce côté sucré et caramélisé en bouche. Les épices et les notes sombres relèvent un peu le niveau, sans pour autant créer l’exploit. La finale est courte, sèche, épicée et sombre. Le boisé épicé, le chocolat noir et le cuir forment l’amertume qui persiste dans l’arrière-bouche. Les fruits sont complètement effacés ici. Un Diamond qui nous laisse sur notre faim, contrasté au possible avec un nez doux et une bouche tendue, puis une finale trop courte.

 Wasn't such a fan of this one unfortuantly, Tasted a bit like sweet chewing gum! Slightly fruity and sweet. Didn't really display the usual notes you get with a well aged demerara. Alcahol Didn't seem very well integrated and a shortish finish. Not a bad rum by any means but its pretty forgettable.

 Very oaky and heavy on the red fruits. Pretty closed at first. Needs time. Port. Some peach. Some freshness. Cool juice. Can't put my finger on all the layers yet, but it's nice but not really balanced. No really Guyana either. Edit: Readin' the other reviews now and I'm not the only one finding this hard to "read" :D

 A rum with a nose of caramel trying to mask a medicated side, sandalwood and strawberry! The palate gives the same impression, a not very harmonious base masked by the caramel. Taste again, perhaps oxidation will make it better. The empty glass reveals interesting fruity aromas. Thanks Rodolphe for the sample.

 OK rum, slightly more interesting aroma than taste.

 06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. The price matches what you get in my mind. The profile has a sweet touch to it. Nice medium fruity and some caramel. The palate is oily and naturally sweet with a herbal touch. The finish is medium to long with nice spices and herbs.

 Mhm, also blind wäre ich wohl nicht drauf gekommen, dass dieser Rum aus Guyana ist. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Abfüllungen 8st dieser sehr auf der süßen, karamelligen Seite, was ein bißchen ungewöhnlich ist. Ich finde ich sehr lecker und extrem süffig. Ein Rum der wohl spaltet. Trotzallem ist er aber leider sehr kurzweilig.

 Unfortunately, I could not get much out of this Diamond. It almost seems a bit sweetened. The alcohol is not well integrated. Unfortunately, not my case.

 It's good but rather dispensable. The nose is not very well mastered (too much vinegar and new wood). The palate is better, combining cherry, wood, grass and caramel. It's not very complex, but the palate is rather balanced. The finish is moderately long, with pepper and oak. It could have been more successful, but it's still fun to drink.
