6.8/10 68 community reviews ↓
Loved by Schnapsschuesse, LukaŽiga & 5 more

For seasoned enthusiasts only: an intense, heavily peated Diamond that drinks more like Islay whisky than Guyana rum. Expect peat smoke, ash, oak and some hidden fruit sweetness. A polarizing experiment rum lovers mostly find challenging, while peat fans sometimes really enjoy it.

  • Bold peat smoke
  • Good alcohol integration
  • Interesting experiment

How does Diamond Plantation Guyana (Big Peat Islay Malt Scotch Whisky Cask) 2011 taste?

Aggregated from 68 community reviews.

Islay peat lover’s “rum” experiment For seasoned enthusiasts only: an intense, heavily peated Diamond that drinks more like Islay whisky than Guyana rum. Expect peat smoke, ash, oak and some hidden fruit sweetness. A polarizing experiment rum lovers mostly find challenging, while peat fans sometimes really enjoy it.

Perfect for

Peated Scotch fans curious about rum cask experiments who enjoy intense smoke, ash and oak with just a touch of underlying sweetness and fruit.

Less suitable for

Rum drinkers seeking classic Guyana character, anyone who dislikes peated whisky notes, and beginners sensitive to dominant smoke and wood.

Der Einfluss des Islay Malts ist sehr dominant. Beim Eintreffen im Mund explodiert eine torfige Rauchbombe. Erst durch viel Kauen kommt noch ein bisschen was vom Rum durch. Muss man schon abkönnen, aber mir gefällt es. Plantation Masterclass-Onlinetasting am 04.04.24, vielen Dank an das RumX-Team.

Guyana plus Rauch, das ist wild. Rauchig, speckig, irgendwo durchbrochen von Frucht und minimaler Minze. Weitaus süßer als erwartet, dann Guyana, und hintenrum kommt dann der Rauch. Und wie. Weiterhin süß, aber im Prinzip steht man hier mitten in der Räuchefkammer. Wild. Und großartig wenn man drauf steht. Finish bleibt dann ähnlich, Rauch und Süße die sich nicht ganz einig werden können. Mir persönlich gefällt das sehr, verstehe aber auch jeden der hier komplett aussteigt.

Yes Baby, ist jedenfalls ein richtig geiler Plantation. Holz ohne Ende,aber das war ja erwartbar. Na ja ist jedenfalls sehr rauchig dieser Rum. Holz ist hier überwiegend zu schmecken. Auf jeden Fall sehr lecker.

8.2/10

8:On the nose, the first impression we get is smoky, ashy, but much more restrained as in real Islay whisky.Subtle notes of iodine, sulphur are paired with dried fruits.A hint of bacon also creeps in, some cinnamon, beeswax, slightly burnt cloves, a hint of vanilla. The wood is charred with caramel, chocolate, roasted nuts, some burnt sugar, very creamy, oily. The molasses is vegetal with herbal, grassy, minty notes. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is powerful with cold smoke like from a burnt-out cigar, salt, tobacco, leathery tones, some smoked bacon again, plus typical rum notes of brown sugar, fruit and a hint of coconut in the background, very oily and round.The molasses is vegetal, a bit bitter with herbal, minty notes and black tea.The wood is roasted and toasted, spicy with candied caramel, chocolate, nuts, perhaps nougat.Tasty and creamy. 8,2:The finish is long with light smoke, charred wood notes like chocolate, candied caramel, nuts.The fruits are dried, the rum dry, musty. Edit:27.6.25, oxidation helps rounding the rum

Ahhh.... muss ich 200 Zeichen schaffen? Zu viel Torf. Vor allem am Gaumen. Das Fass hat den Rum getötet. Kann man bestimmt für ein Whisky Tasting nutzen. Ansonsten nur für Liebhaber für Rums mot starkem Singel Malt Einfluss.
