Diamond RA Guyana Rum 1998
Sip this neat and the first thing you get is orange — peel, marmalade, a big citrus hit that several tasters compare to Pyrat. Behind it sit cinnamon, pepper and a touch of oak, with a slightly bitter, anise-tinged finish. The 52% stays surprisingly mild. Opinions split: some find it a tasty, spicy easy sipper, others call it one-dimensional or oddly floral, almost soapy.
- Intense orange nose
- Well-judged 52%
- Spicy, mild palate

How does Diamond RA Guyana Rum 1998 taste?
Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Orange-heavy, spicy 20-year Diamond sipper A spice-and-orange Diamond that lands as a decent but divisive pour. The intense citrus and gentle heat win some over; others find it bitter, floral and a bit one-note.

Review by Gregor
Dunkle Töne mit Kräutern und grünem Apfel. Sowohl im Geruch als auch im Geschmack. Der Alkoholstärke ist ideal gewählt. Der Geschmack ist komplex und langatmig. Damals für unter 100€ gekauft und für gut befunden. Für den jetzigen Preis würde ich ihn wahrscheinlich nicht nochmal kaufen
Review by Murphy
I'll have to taste it again when I'm done with Corona. No sooner said than done. He has barely breathed a few days and I have successfully put Covid behind me, the droplet already tastes much better
Review by Herke
Guter Rum. Gibt aber bestimmt interessantere Fässer. Schmeckt einzigartig. Für anspruchsvolle Genießer nicht unbedingt zu empfehlen.
Review by Frank
Preparing for the 10th GRF, the day after tomorrow in Berlin.Nose: wow, citrus, orange and spices. Intensely orangeate and potpourri. Some green apple, almost seems a bit artificial and floral. Back out slightly buttery.Palate: here again spicier, some red pepper with cinnamon and cardamom. In addition, but also immediately again the candied orange peel and apple. Slightly bitter and yet somewhat salty-sweet.In the finish it remains spicy, gets a little more wood, retains there orangeate.Already good, but a little too one-dimensional.
Review by Petr Andrysík
Ve vuni i v chuti jsou brutálně cítit pomeranče. Ve vuni daleko více. V chuti už ke konci nastupuje klasická guyana
Review by Alexander Rasch
Eine tolle Nase mit intensiver Orange. Am Gaumen schön würzig aber trotzdem mild. Irgendwie ein Easy Sipper unter den Diamonds. Lecker.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Run Artesanal auch schwache Abfüllungen hat, aber hier habe ich eine im Glas. Während die Nase noch mit Holz, Orange und einer Menge an Gewürzen lockt, verwirrt mich der Gaumen doch sehr. Bittere Noten, (zu) viel Orange und eine florale, fast seifige Note erzeugen einen fast schon künstlichen Geschmack, den ich nicht einordnen kann und der mich nicht überzeugt. Wohlmöglich ist dies die Abfüllung, die die Ausnahme bestätigt, was RA angeht ;-)

Très surprenant, bien différent des Diamond habituelle.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
First off, the price to quality is pretty good on this release. Fruity with nice mix of spices and wood. The finish is medium long and it draws really nice curtains. The empty glass is really nice.
Review by Thunderbird
This Diamond belongs to the rather weaker ! Is the nose still pleasantly fruity and slightly spicy, he fälg on the palate totally off! In addition to the classic flavors that are hidden perceptible, accompanies him what artificial, somehow after wax! Too bad
Review by DomM
Strong orange notes on the nose remind me of Pyrat… DDL is somewhat involved in this, isn‘t it? 🤔
Review by Martin Švojgr
Tento mne moc neoslovil...
Review by John Coffey
Une liqueur d'orange assez douce
Review by Double Barrel
Too much bitter oranges, don't want to pour me another glass after the first one. Weird potion from the DDL laboratories!
