Sip this one neat and the first thing you'll notice is orange — a lot of it. The nose is lovely with citrus, orange peel and warm spice like cinnamon and cardamom, and at 52% it's spicy but stays fairly mild. The palate splits people: some get a nice woody-spiced Diamond, others find the orange goes bitter and almost soapy or waxy. One taster summed it up as a "Decent Diamond."
The community says- Intense orange nose
- Spicy yet mild
- Keep in mind: Bitter orange finish

How does Diamond Rum Artesanal Guyana Rum 1998 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Orange-heavy Demerara, great nose, divisive palate A gorgeous orange-and-spice nose that not everyone finds carries to the palate — some love the mild, woody Demerara character, others hit bitter, almost artificial orange and call it one-dimensional.

Dark tones with herbs and green apple. Both the smell and the taste. The alcohol strength is ideally chosen. The taste is complex and lengthy. Bought at the time for under 100€ and found it to be good. I probably wouldn't buy it again for the current price

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 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 Alexander Rasch
A great nose with intense orange. On the palate nicely spicy but still mild. Somehow an easy sipper among the Diamonds. Whether you need half a liter of it is up to each person. But it is tasty.
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 Herke
Good rum. But there are certainly more interesting casks. Tastes unique. Not necessarily recommended for demanding connoisseurs.
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 Lukas Jäger
I didn't even know that Run Artesanal also has weak bottlings, but here I have one in my glass. While the nose still entices with wood, orange and a lot of spices, the palate really confuses me. Bitter notes, (too) much orange and a floral, almost soapy note create an almost artificial taste that I can't classify and that doesn't convince me. This is probably the bottling that confirms the exception as far as RA is concerned ;-)
Review by DomM
Strong orange notes on the nose remind me of Pyrat… DDL is somewhat involved in this, isn‘t it? 🤔
Review by SNYBOR 🇧🇪
Very surprising, quite different from the usual Diamond.
Review by Martin Švojgr
This one didn’t really appeal to me...
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!
Review by Michael Schou
04-04-2025 - Rate 7.5 Decent Diamond. A Continental taste and nose.
Review by Petr Andrysík
Oranges are brutally noticeable in the nose and taste. Much more in the nose. In the taste, classic Guyana notes come in towards the end.
Review by John Coffey
A fairly sweet orange liqueur
