8.6/10

The nose is really great, plenty of dark sugar, malt, licorice, and toasty aromas. The palate continues this, relatively dry and a bit bitter, with more herbal notes. Tobacco in the finish. The alcohol is very well integrated.

Hinweis: Tätigkeit bei Perola GmbH (Spirituosenbranche), teilweise berufliche Involvierung bei bewerteten Abfüllungen. Alle Bewertungen sind meine persönliche, unbezahlte Meinung. Endlich Mal ein vernünftiger & bezahlbarer Diamond Guyana Rum um den man sich nicht schlagen muss! Hier wird genau das Diamond Profil getroffen was ich so gerne mag und die 50% sind nicht zu dünn und nicht zu kräftig sondern sehr lecker und süffig! :) Geruchlich wie geschmacklich eine schöne Harmonie aus Zartbitter-Schokolade, Meersalz, kräftiger Melasse, Bananenbrot, Kaffee, Brombeeren und Trockenobst sowie ordentlich Gewürzen wie kandiertem Ingwer, Kardamom, Piment, Vanille und Muskat und dann etwas Tabak, Leder und Bitterorange im Abgang. 5% mehr Alkohol hätte er zwar noch vertragen können aber dann wäre er auch nochmal ein gutes Stück teurer geworden!😉 Es handelt sich hierbei übrigens um einen "small batch" aus 5 nahezu identischen Single cask diamonds die alle zwischen 64-67% hatten. PS: Macht sich hervorragend in diversen Tiki Cocktails wie dem Queens Park Swizzle!

Ich hatte mit dem Gedanken gespielt mir eine Flasche zu holen, das lass ich bleiben. Irgendwie haben all diese gefärbten oder im zu stark gekohlten Fass gelagerten Rums den gleichen,alles überdeckenden Grundgeschmack, sei es dieser hier,der Woods Navy, oder Dictador20 und was weiß ich noch wer. Schade drum, hatte mir mehr erhofft. 😥

8.3/10

Bellamy tasting. A rather dark rum with a nose of young wood, spices, raisins and burnt sugar, Sherry. Not a very well-balanced nose where flavors telescope. The palate is more balanced, soft, diluted, with tobacco and mocha, a vegetal side, leather and caramel. The finish is long, on the woody/bitter side, with a light salty and caramel note. The empty glass offers yet more fragrances. Excellent value for money.

8.2/10

Dark roasted Diamond profile on the nose. Lots of burnt sugar, dark chocolate and a hint of dried fruits. Same profile in the palate, yet smoother than the nose would like you to expect. Coffee, caramel, dark nougat and some maltiness. Very solid „coffee“ Diamond profile at a very accessible price. Also performs quite well in cocktails.

Super nose and not bad on the palate. Cheap Diamond for every day and also a grenade in cocktails. PLV outstanding
