Not the classic herbal Versailles some tasters expected — this leans dark and spicy instead. Leather runs right through it, with coffee, dark chocolate, tobacco and burnt sugar behind. A few members wished for more fruit or punch to balance the heavy, woody side; others found pear and red fruit opening up as the bottle breathes. Dry, complex Demerara for a quiet evening.

How does The Whisky Cask Company Diamond (Versailles) twcc Versailles Rum Wooden Pot Still SXG 2005 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, leathery Demerara, spice over fruit Well-liked as a proper dark Guyana, though a couple of tasters find it too herb-and-wood or a touch too sweet, and want more fruit for balance. Nobody calls it boring.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Give us our daily Guyana today...😋 A very good Versailles and a good bottling. I didn't know the Mark before. Dark, spicy, multi-layered. I find it lacks a little punch and the finish is not long enough for me. But very tasty. As the bottle is opened, more fruit comes to the fore and the spicy, woody part fades into the background.
Review by zabo
Tasted three different Versailles together with DomM. The highlight of the evening after the disappointing Velier Beenleighs and the La Favorit. All three were very good, although in retrospect the Rum&Rock, which I had given an 8.5 at the time, was more herbal, with a profile similar to the 91 KFM. I find the TWCC and Cave Guildive more typical. But all three were very good and saved the evening.
Review by Mirco
Beautiful Versailles, but a little too tart and woody for me personally. However, there are also lots of great notes such as chocolate, caramel and spices. A little more fruit to balance it out would have been nice.
Review by Basti
The nose reminds me of both the Rumclub 2008 MDS and the Romdeluxe Diamond 1996: lots of malt, dried fruit, spices, but also clearly floral/perfumed notes. A very dominant and, for me, too dominant floral/perfumed impact on the palate. Also leather, black tea, dried fruit. Edit: 2nd tasting and this time the perfumed/soapy notes seemed very dominant to me.
Review by TheJackDrop
A good Guyana, very drinkable, with wood relatively present but not too much for me. Coffee, caramel, tobacco notes, and quite a bit of spice and green pepper it seems. The leather is present throughout the tasting, which I really like. A good time, with no headaches!
Review by Johannes
Another Guyana that positively surprised me. A really fruity, complex Versailles! I can taste lots of pears and red fruits, as well as marzipan, wood and molasses. Great!
Review by DomM
Nice bottling. Overall a bit too heavy on the burnt sugar notes for me… there are dried fruits, which work very well with the cacao and coffee notes. However, I’m missing the classic Verailles herbal notes, which would put this up one notch.
Review by Jakob
Solid Demerara on the rather sweet side. Leather, caramel, café au lait, liquorice and spices. Quite pleasant to drink, but I miss the aromatic counterpart to the heavy sweetness.
Review by Roberto Bessa Ferreira
Top Versailles with perfect bitter & wood balance.
