Whiskybroker Diamond 2004
Sip this neat and slowly — at 63.5% it bites the nose hard and needs time in the glass to open. Expect spicy cardamom and pepper, oak, raisins and dried plums, then a dirty wave of burnt rubber and "leicht angebranntes Plastik" before it turns bitter. One taster found "Enmore leather, Skeldon caramel and too much alcohol." Heavy, funky Guyanese rum, not a gentle one.
- Spicy oak depth
- Dark dried fruit
- Dirty rubber funk

How does Whiskybroker Diamond 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Heavy, spicy Guyanese with burnt-rubber funk Most find this a heavy, spicy Diamond with rubber, glue and dark dried fruit. The high ABV and a bitter, sulphury edge divide people — loved by some, too much for others.

Review by Joachim Guger
A relationship to Enmore (eg El Dorado 1996) is recognizable, but otherwise a monster. Wood, alcohol and not much else.Even at 2 cl I had a slight hangover the next morning.
Review by Frank
Hui, the alcohol initially bites properly in the nose (62.4%). A very spicy bouquet with cardamom, vanilla and pepper. Woody-oaky. Heavy sweetness of blackberries, dried plums and raisins. Out the back about artificial, like slightly burnt plastic. Hui again, a powerful attack on the palate. It starts bitter and immediately burnt plastic and rubber waltzes in, really dirty. But very tasty. Once that roller rolls by, which takes a bit, comes a slight sweetness that quickly turns to bitter notes that linger in the finish. I'm still trying to find something fruity, but nothing comes to mind. Already crass the rum, a little too bitter for me but still really good. 13 yo, MDXC
