One taster calls this a "nice rum to discover," and that fits: it's a dark, cola-and-menthol Diamond loaded with charred wood, burnt sugar, molasses and dried plum, with mocha and licorice underneath. The mint keeps the heavy roasted side from turning bitter. At 60.9% the alcohol shows, and a couple of people flag a sour edge and a shortish finish.

Very woody, minty nose. A touch of coffee. Apricot-like stewed fruit. Tannins. Dry alcohol. Heavy, powerful, woody on the palate. Grounded. Peppery. But nonetheless greedy, sweet, caramelized and super pleasant. A slight vegetal note on the finish for me. Woody, slightly bitter finish. Good length. Should become rounder as it oxidizes. It'll be even better. Edit: after a few weeks, the bottle has already evolved. More accessible. Less raw. More expressive. Very pleasant. Edit 2: Typically the kind of rum that benefits from staying in the bottle for a while. My last tasting may have been the best. The rum has become rounder. The very stewed fruit is very present. The wood is more mellow. Great!

I find that it is quite sour. Unfortunately, that breaks its neck with me. That's why I can't give it a better rating. I had to pour out the rest with cola, which makes it work. But it wasn't necessarily any better with that either.
Review by SaibotZtar
Deliciously spicy... Some mint molasses and brown sugar slightly charred but not disturbing. Oily and sweet on the palate ... Alcohol could be a little better integrated... or you give it more time. Finish then bitter and woody with chocolate.
Review by Serge
I quite like it. Delicious profile with lots of mocha, cola, wood, burnt sugar, candied fruit and some plum. There's also a hint of mint, which is a little more pronounced on the palate. Not too bitter and also not swampy after molasses but really nice to drink.

Review by TheRhumhoe
A dark, smooth and very pleasant Diamond. The nose is discreet, it needs time to deliver its aromas. The dark side dominates with roasted notes, on roasted coffee (moka), almost charred wood, warm spices on licorice and cinnamon, but also gourmand notes almost burnt on sugar, cola and molasses. The fruitiness focuses on dried fruits (prune, raisin) while a slight touch of menthol brings some air to this closed and dark profile. The attack on the palate is extremely soft, the alcohol is unsuspected as is. Caramel, cola, molasses and honeyed notes flood the palate to make this rum very easy-drinking. We find the dark Demerara thread with coffee, dark chocolate, strong wood, spices and heavy fruitiness. It's very easy-drinking, but it lacks something to stand out. The finish is quite short, drier but with a nice roundness and concentrates the dark aromas. The aromas dissipate quite quickly, but one distinguishes the bitterness of the wood and spices as well as the sweet burnt notes. The profile is intensely soft and easy-drinking, perfect for a rum to drink, but it lacks complexity and depth compared to other Demeraras.
Review by HenryL
Wonderfully harmonious nose. Nice soft and round, a bit of brown sugar with molasses residues, plum skin and a menthol-like freshness. In the mouth it is a bit less harmonious. The burnt-out barrel brings here, in my taste, a bit too strong roasted aromas that taste somewhat burnt. But it has a spiciness that reminds me of the spice cocktail of homemade cola and I really like it. Besides the sugar already present on the nose, a nutty sweetness comes in the mouth, maybe peanut or almond.
Review by Righrum
Very nice rum, heavy on the wood and coffee. Complex, even if not as intriguing as the REV. The profile is heavy on wood but also a funny cola taste that is balanced by some mint. Overall is a nice rum to discover even though maybe not exactly a daily sipper
Review by Johannes
Exciting! Lots of molasses and licorice paired with wood, mint and currant.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasting a 5cl sample. We have here an SV mark from the Versailles still distilled in 2005, so presumably colored. Very pretty copper-golden color with mahogany reflections. 👃 Dried fruits first, concentrated in their reduced juice (raisins, plums, figs) giving the illusion of old Cognac woodiness. The molasses is noticeable, sweet, sticky, like a Cola-flavored Carambar melting in the sun. It's indulgent with coffee smoke, cooked vanilla, a tiramisu side. Some empyreumatic hints of lamp oil too. 😋 Alcohol heat, you feel the 60°. Burnt sugar, burnt caramel, crème brûlée, all on wood... Charred 😅 Menthol veil giving way to a duality between Cola acidity and cough syrup (caramel, licorice). ⛳ Wood, molasses and bitterness. A bit of candied orange/dried fruits coated with honey and caramel, cola, cooked and melting licorice, spices, chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is very greedy. We are clearly on a molasses rum. We find some nice woody, minty freshness but especially flambéed banana. Behind, we find vanilla and shavings of pencils finely sharpened! A very promising nose. In the mouth, there is some pep ... normal at 60.9% and for this type of range of rum. We find elegant woody, nuts, empyreumatic notes but especially licorice/smoke. It is chocolatey and caramelized in profusion! A medium/long finish with coconut, coffee and spices is rather dry. A nice well balanced BDF single cask. Some may say that it is a bit rough but I like it. And it will only get better with the oxidation after opening. What more could you ask for! And what about the packaging: Belgian flag, ROA logo and prestige box. Congratulations to you Salva and Alain for this achievement. And as they say, never 2 without 3 ...

Unfortunately a bit smoky
Review by alex
Very good molasses rum. Personally, I love it. The watts are very well integrated. Rich and complex, lots of aromas, it's happiness 🤩😍🤩
Review by DeMaddin
Needs some time in the glass. Beautiful deep woody notes, dried fruits, plus mint and menthol, paired with syrupy molasses, drinks really well, only criticism is the finish isn't very long.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
We had high expectations for this bottle based on the reviews. It definitely didn't disappoint. Beautiful color, burnt caramel, it clings nicely to the glass. The nose has heavy wood, again caramel, hints of leather and sweetness. The taste is slightly sharp but the alcohol is otherwise well integrated. On the palate, leather, wood bitterness, and a medium finish. Yeah, it's good.
Review by Jordan Signor
A 4-column Savalle Still selection from Diamond, aged 17 years (2005) for the 5th year anniversary of Rums of Anarchy, made by Nobilis. On the nose Quite promising with empyreumatic notes, burnt sugar, cola acidic candies, pine sap, medicinal notes of Ricola candy, resin, molasse, cane charcoal, thick dark roast coffee, pitted fruits eau-de-vie, and some thick cola syrup. Palate Thick, empyreumatic and astringent at first. With lingering medicinal notes of pine sap, pine honey, thick molasse (almost a molasse candy), and acidic wood notes. Then, sour candies with cola, burnt caramel, and a remainder of medicinal undertones. Finish Long, first with sap, molasse, resin and old wood. Then thick cola and nutmeg, dried ginger, and burning cardamom, both medicinal and spiced. And a lasting impression of pine, and roasted notes.
Review by raphael galak
It has this wood from the nose of Demerara, quite dark with coffee cocoa leather and honey, small tobacco, alcohol well melted that covers well, bitterness that reveals a skin of grapefruit, black cherry, peach, in a humid wood with bitter cocoa.
Review by Michal Jurka
I just like this Guyana, I mainly associate it with great cola minty notes on the nose. Along with dried plums, sweetness of gingerbread spices, cane sugar, molasses and honey, mustier wood. And similarly dark sweet in taste and the mint is even a bit more pronounced there.
