Diamond Kill Devil Guyana 1999
Salted licorice is what grabs you first — bold, herbal, almost medicinal, not the caramel bomb 23 years might suggest. Underneath sit pencil shavings, a metallic tang, dryoak and anise, with just a flash of vanilla and toffee for relief. Pot-still Diamond at nearly 63%, it's dry and concentrated rather than sweet. Members call it demanding but rewarding — it opens up the longer you sit with it.
The community says- Salted licorice
- Deep complexity
- But: Demanding neat

How does Diamond Kill Devil Guyana 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Dry, licorice-heavy Demerara for patient sippers Divisive by design: tasters love how it swings from bitter wood to salted licorice to fruit. One calls each new pour more interesting — but you have to work for it.

Review by Eric Frechin
Bouteille ouverte depuis 1 mois. Je peux dire que j aime beaucoup ce rhum. Je le conseille principalement à des amateurs assez confirmés , car il propose une très grande complexité et je pense qu il évoluera encore. Le nez est un mix de bois , fruits jaunes, sucre brun et, une touche de pétrole et fleur d iris. Bouche : il faut laisser le palais l apprivoiser le boisé est dominant sur du fût, baton de réglisse et de la racine. Fruit plutôt en retrait et du medicamenteux. Une fois apprivoisé le fruit devient plus présent comme la prune. La finale est longue et reprend les mêmes arômes qu au nez. C est un beau parcours gustatif !
Review by Jakob
Both on the nose and on the palate, a lot of this rum takes place in the rather extreme flavors - the rum challenges, jumps from bone-dry medicinal notes to tart-bitter wood influences, almost boasts with rich salt liquor, only to then flash a hint of caramel and vanilla in the next sip. For me, the rum becomes more interesting with each new attempt, because the flavor spectrum is so versatile and always reveals new facets. In itself not fully my preferred type of rum, but still very impressive. An inspiringly intense release.
Review by Oliver
Heavenly nose. On the palate, intense, complex and with real punch - in the positive sense. Makes really fun!
Review by Mirco
Kräftiger Diamond mit klassischem, eher schweren Demerara Profil. In der Nase dunkle Früchte, Melasse, etwas Lakritz und würziges Holz. Am Gaumen dicht und trocken mit viel Eiche, Gewürzen, etwas Kakao und einer leicht herben Note. Wirkt konzentriert und durchaus komplex, ohne übermäßig süß zu sein. Ein solider, charaktervoller Guyana.
Review by SaibotZtar
Ziemlich blass für das alter.... ich tippe mal auf einen mal nicht gefärbten Diamond. Nase ist sehr Fruchtig und fast frisch mit leichten Estern Pfirsich und gelbe Trockenfrüchte. Vanille etwas Bleistift Alkohol Präsent. Am Gaumen sehr kräftig leichte Süße... Kräuter , Vanille, Bleistift, Leder , Lakritze und Anis.
Review by Skyfly
A really well-rounded Diamond with both bitter and fruity aromas. Pencil shavings are omnipresent, as well as a metallic note. Alongside, licorice, chocolate, wood, and caramel alternate in intensity.
Review by Rene_89
Dieser Rum erinnert mich an die schwarzen Kirschen aus dem Garten meiner Eltern. Fruchtfleisch samt Kerne, dunkel fruchtig, holzig, Noten von Bittermandel. Der Abgang hat etwas sehr trockenes und zugleich doch frisches. Im Abklingen des Aromas kommt mehr und mehr seine zarte, blumige Seite hervor, die mich doch an Rosen erinnert. Kirschen sind ja bekanntlich Rosengewächse …
