Glue and solvent hit first on the nose, then dark chocolate, roasted oak, molasses and dried fruit roll in — a proper dirty, spicy Guyana profile at cask strength. Several tasters call it the best of the three Last Casks; others find the alcohol not fully tamed and the palate a touch bitter and one-note. Give it time in the glass to open up.
The community says- Dark chocolate depth
- Glue-forward funk
- Keep in mind: Hot, unintegrated alcohol

How does Diamond El Dorado The Last Casks (Gold) 2000 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dirty, chocolatey cask-strength Demerara sipper Loved by fans of heavy Demerara for its chocolate, molasses and glue-forward funk. The common gripe: hot, slightly disjointed alcohol and a bitter, one-dimensional streak on the palate.

Aged in old Uitvlugt casks - 22 years of tropical aging - A rum for geeks - Unique rum - Thanks 💪🏻😜

A bit more tart than the sister bottlings, also with a somewhat irritating medicinal note. Has a lot of pleasing from the Demerara-typical flavor world, but it is unfortunately not completely round.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is spicy with baking spices, some polish, a hint of molasses, roasted wood notes with caramel, Demerara sugar and dried fruits, toasted coconut, some citrus. On aeration, new notes arise like tobacco, citrus in the shape of lemon, orange peel, nuts and more vegetal aspect of molasses.We could say it is a very balanced nose impression. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is spicy, roasted with allspice, vanilla, dark chocolate, Demerara sugar is caramelized, the molasses is syrupy, herbaceous, sweet with honey, with a help of dried fruits, especially currants with nice oxidation, when chocolate becomes milky and nutty, some notes medicinal, as citrus jumps in/out of the game intermittently,..and a little surprise, toasted coconut, candied fruits, yes, perfume😀. 8,6:The finish is long, dry, tannic and a bit dirty, less spicy, more round with notes from palate continuing the journey. Edit:24.1.2026, an oxidation helps, an upgrade for 0.1.
Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful varnish and polish notes, balanced demerara profile. Plenty of caramel. Warm and powerful as only tropical maturation can produce. Very spicy, lots of caramel in the mouth. Furry finish. Very good Demerara sipper, simply too simple to be awarded higher honors. This is how one imagines ED 12 at cask strength. And therefore far too expensive.
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this excellent rum during Sweden Rumfest 2025. It was distilled on Diamonds Coffey Still and aged for one year at Diamond whereafter it was transferred to Uitvlugt and was aged for 21 more years in their ex-bourbon barrels. The nose is sweet, spicy and nutty with aromas of honey, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and some hints of licorice. At the palate it’s elegant, full bodied, well balanced, sweet and spicy with flavors of honey, caramel, vanilla and nutmeg. The finish is long lasting.
Review by Serge
Update: Tasted again and slightly upgraded. But still not really on the level of the Rare Collection. I like it a bit more today than the first time I tried it. But here too – like with the other Diamond from the series – that biting chemical alcoholic off-note right at the first sip. Nose and finish are good. Better than the other Diamond, but still not my favorite.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Lots of bitter citrus zest meets dark chocolate and slightly medicinal notes. Overall an exciting profile, although nowhere near as harmonious as the other two Last Casks in direct comparison. The alcohol could be much better integrated... a bit wild. But finally, a strong, dirty, and spicy Guyana profile. Still, just like the other three, in my opinion, it’s nowhere near worth nearly 300€.
Review by kudzey
Nose is not too intense, dusty and honey. Dry and spicy in the mouth with moderate complexity. This is sharper and wood dominated. The tastes don't oscillate smoothly. Upper medium aftertaste length
Review by RumTaTa
Here I find more esters on the nose compared to RX15466 but also more dark aromas: leather, bitter chocolate, oak. On the palate also very heavy and thick. Many but not too many bitter notes. Dark fruits and burnt sugar alternate. Very good, heavy Guyana rum with lots of spice, cask, and tannins. I especially like the esters on the nose.
Review by Johannes
Not a top Guyana, but overall a very high level.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
First off, I think the price tag is far too high compared to what you get. That being said this is still a pretty good Diamond. Lightly fruity with roasted wood and some notes of polish/varnish. Es and spicy on the palate and a medium to long finish.
Review by mto75
Today the three El Dorado Last Casks in the glass (red, black, gold label). The golden one is a 2000 Diamond matured in Uitvlugt casks. On the nose between the red and black, with plenty of varnish, plus dried fruits, caramel. On the palate roasted, long finish. Ranking: black, gold, red.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
I'm always a fan of rum at a bit higher ABV%, and this is no exception. Got molasses and sweetness in the nose, and I found deep notes of molasses, wood and hints of caramel. Aftertaste of bitter wood
Review by Frank
And now the 3rd of the Last Casks. Mhhh, blend with Uit and 22 years tropical with a stretching proper %. Nose: the profile is very similar to the other two. Nice Guyana aromas with glue, orange and wood. On the finer side, there is coconut and papaya with passion fruit, a fine sweetness of maple syrup, slightly sour treacle with wood acidity, chocolate with vanilla and caramel. Very complex and dense aromas. 8.7 Palate: I like this one best of all three. Again beautifully dense, complex and intense. Fruity, spicy and woody at the same time. The initial acidity is immediately captured by malty chocolate and slightly fatty nut, pecan, together with fruity sweetness. Blackcurrant and orange, plus tonka bean and molasses with a hint of liquorice. Very round and the increased alcohol content fits wonderfully. 8,9 I don't have a direct comparison with other high births from Velier or Silver Seal at the moment, but these El Dorados have nothing to hide...
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Close first place within the new trio. It wins the photo finish over the black Last Cask because of the slightly stronger punch (ABV).
Review by Rodolphe
Dark demerara like El Dorado, doped with thick molasses. Almond/nut/chocolate and caramel. It is very greedy, it drinks itself but... But it's 300€ a pin for a big lack of personality. It lacks the little thing that makes it great and that makes you buy the bottle. So for the same price, or less, I'll take the Skeldon or the Albion from the same brand.
Review by Tim
I find this rum unbalanced in the mouth because it comes across very bitter and sour. The typical notes are present and everything seems very tasty at first, but the rum could be rounder. Pleasant on the nose and 100% Demerara. Price used to be very high, cheaper to get in 2026! Very good for that.
Review by DomM
Starting of with lots od glue and solvent on the nose. With some time in the glas the nose gets more dominate by woody and roasted notes with some raisins and dried fruits in the background. Wood forwards and adstringend on the palate. Some dried fruits showing up towards the finish.
Review by Mopar Rules
very promising on the nose at the first place, rasins, a hint of orange, dried plum. But gone after a few minutes. After that, wood, polish, the nice aromas are gone. Disappointing on the palate, sharp, ABV too strong, wood and alcohol to dominant. Finish is short and you feel like you’ve chewed a piece of wood
Review by Thunderbird
The third in the group... also not a revelation... slightly more intense than the middle one, that's it! Price-wise there are much better rums from El Dorado in this class.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Most herbaceous of the three
Review by Andi
Chocolate, molasses, wood, chemical, bitter, also this rum should be given time in the glass so that it develops its potential.
Review by Florent Apl
Tasted against the Last Cask Tri-Canada (red label). I absolutely love it, it's very unique. It has has depth, Guyana markers but first and foremost: nail polish. Really didn't expect it, and I wonder how it even ended up here. The rel label on the other hand is more about wood polish and citrus. If you like weird things, you might enjoy that one. And it's not that bitter actually.
Review by Herr K
I was looking forward to the ED Last Cask Gold. Maybe my expectations were too high. On the nose, I find wood, varnish, and dark aromas. On the palate, wood dominates, along with bitterness and dark fruits. The alcohol is too sharp and unpleasant for me. A shame, but that's how it is.
Review by Gregor
Wow, what a beautiful bomb. Lots of esters, great chocolate tone.
Review by Benoit Mahe
On the nose you clearly find glue and sugar. In my opinion, it could be more complex. The palate brings a bit more complexity but with a darker profile.
Review by Jarek
Alcohol not well integrated. Overall somehow not round, it is fruity, woody and roasted, but these components do not harmonize properly.
Review by Nivius
Of the last casks, the roundest and most drinkable like its two brothers, I wouldn't have associated it with Guyana at all, sweet, fruity, tobacco, delicious!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Nice profile except the long aceton taste in the tail
Review by rbfsnow
🥰😍🤩😋my favorite from this series
Review by kondgab
Woody, spicy and chocolate
Review by Buddudharma
The higher ABV suits the rum well. However, the profile is somewhat one-dimensional, although tasty. In this price range, I expect a bit more than just tasty.
Review by Filip Šikula
Together with friends Martin Švojgr, Filip Oudes, and Pavel Špaček, we ordered a large number of rums new to us. I thank my Swedish friend for this opportunity. In the aroma, it’s demerara, but the taste surprises with something. I can’t quite name it, but a nice diamond.
Review by Tafia Guildive
Clearly the best of the 3 Last Cask El Dorados
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
When you compare this tropical Diamond to any of the continental Diamonds, you get a good idea of the aroma from the still, coloring, and aging. In maturity and complexity, this tropical Diamond is clearly superior to the continental ones. The profile is similar but less superficially sweet and with more ripe fruit. On the nose, bananas and knubber cherries, plus dark chocolate, wood polish, burnt caramel – exactly what I look for in a Guyana column still. It continues similarly on the palate. The fruit from the nose turns into a distinct but not unpleasant acidity. The alcohol integration could still be better; in the mouth, the rum feels a bit sharp-edged. The finish is only moderately long but adds a bitter orange note that ties in the tannins and bitterness well. Although it has a few flaws, I prefer this Diamond over almost every continental one I know. The value for money at the recommended retail price is terrible. I got it for under €150 and regret not buying a second bottle.
