Banana, spice and burnt wood, with a whiff of pralines and overripe fruit on the nose. This is an 18-year Diamond from Guyana at full cask strength, and members describe it as fruity and spicy but with the alcohol still sitting a bit proud. A few found the PM-marque character interesting; others thought the heat never fully settled into the wood.

How does Rum Shark Diamond 2003 taste?
Summarized by AI from 32 community reviews.
Fruity, spicy Guyana with unpolished heat Fruity, spicy Guyana with banana, vanilla and burnt wood, but tasters agree the alcohol isn't fully integrated. Enjoyable rather than remarkable — several rate it mid-pack.

02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 7 Notes Light in colour. Nose Intense, fresh, esters, banana, overripe, faint chocolate, light citrus. Palate Light, fresh, light wood, esters, banana, overripe, light sweet, medium spicy, light olive. Finish Medium to long, light wood, ester, light olive, faint salt, fruits.

Has its charm, but it is basically buried in the PM profile. Unfortunately, not a completely perfectly integrated alcohol. Not only in comparison to other continental PMs with fifteen or more years on the hump, this unfortunately does not yet seem fully harmonious. Solid, but more likely to be in the mid-range.

Very fruity and spicy one. The aroma offers a lot of fruit, spices and alcohol scent (it reminds me of pralines), at the end I noticed banana. In taste there is lot of technical flavor with vanilla and burnt wood. I am not sure but I think I noticed almost like nutty flavor. Finish is not long and it is very similar to everything I wrote above in the post. This is not rum for me (well at least not now, maybe in the future).
Review by Roman Lelek
I chose this sample today because it’s warm summer night. The color is pale - almost white, light yellow. The nose - quite intense, quite strong alcoholic, then banana or Yellow fruits in general, ripe.. The palate - tropical fruits, intense, esters..later after while in the glass- spices, wood, grass. The aftertaste is short to medium. Overall not bad, not great..do I need full bottle? Don’t think so.. Did I enjoy the sample? Yes, it reminds me Jamaica, but not so good..not bad but different. Maybe good for someone who likes Guayana and wants to try some experimenting…

Další nepříliš povedená Guyana. Koření, dřevo, výrazný alkohol, něco dřeva. Dají se sehnat lepší, takže asi nemá smysl shánět.

Kontinent moc nezapracoval, stipe, a připomíná chut fiji.
