Made for Diamond fans who like their Guyana rum on the roasted, dried-fruit side rather than heavy molasses. Expect dates, raisins and apricot up front, then chocolate, caramel, coffee and a woody backbone at 59.1%. Several tasters call it harmonious and easy to sip, though a few feel the wood turns bitter and the alcohol could sit better. Concentrated, not deeply complex.
The community says- Dried fruit, chocolate
- Roasted caramel depth
- Keep in mind: Turns woody-bitter

How does Distilia Diamond The Last Cask - Tiger, Artist (Yu Chuan) 2003 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Roasted, dried-fruit Diamond, easy but not deep Well-liked as a balanced, dried-fruit and chocolate Diamond that sips easily for its strength. The honest catch: a few find it wood-forward, slightly bitter, and short on real depth.

Review by zabo
Very good Diamond, has everything you can expect from such a beer. I find it very accessible and delicious, almost too drinkable. Distilia has once again done everything right with this bottling and the price is also reasonable. But it's still not enough for the top group.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite rigid with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, coffee, caramel, nuts and some orange peel, varnish. On aeration, dried fruits with apricots arise, some spice with vanilla, an orange, some vegetal notes and a chocolate. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is pleasant with dried fruits like apricots, raisins and roasted, spicy wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, marzipan, leather, as the molasses is earthy and dark with black tea.Some resting helps notes like nuts, chocolate, as the rum becomes creamy, to arise. There are dried figs, prunes, red fruits and citrus from fruits, some menthol, the wood becomes resinous a bit. 8,6:The finish is long,as the wood is dry, spicy and roasted, in the end perhaps charred with nuts, chocolate, coffee. The fruits are dried and citrusy, as the molasses is a bit vegetal.. Edit:16.2.25 0,1 up, oxidation helps to more velvety feeling...

#5008 30.12.2024 Relaxing after getting the roast prepared for tomorrow. Nose Balanced, wood, light roasted, light citrus, light orange, faint marzipan, spice. Palate Oily, wood, light roasted, faint marzipan, faint chocolate, anise, dried fruit, light plum, faint salt, light berries. Finish Long, wood, light roasted, light olive, light citrus, light chocolate, faint salt. The empty glass has nice caramel, berries and a light grass.
Review by Johannes
Very good Diamond, with not exuberant molasses. Nice fruity sweetness. Fun to drink!
Review by Serge
Very accessible Diamond on the nose and palate. Rather bright profile with wood, dried fruit, burnt sugar, orange peel and coffee. Meets my taste, but is not outstanding. However, I like to drink the second half of the sample ...
Review by Mentalo
Decent 2003 Diamond from the bottler Distilia. Pleasant fruity sweetness, burnt sugar, some wood, chocolate and coffee. Alcohol is well integrated. It's easy to drink, even if it won't be remembered for long.
Review by Timo Groeger
Here we go with a very pleasant rum. As expected from a Diamond, it is very toasty, with many flavors recognizable: vanilla, chocolate, caramel, coffee, but also wood.
Review by Jakob
Not an aromatic spectacle in the sense of exceptional complexity, but if you can warm to the melting of the rich vanilla-caramel-chocolate profile from ex-bourbon oak barrels, this is a very appealing release. This elegant sweetness is garnished with dried fruit and dark spices, but everything is beautifully balanced and convinces with a very harmonious overall picture. It lacks the depth for a top rating, but as a sipper at an exquisite level, the release is a perfect choice - not least thanks to the price.
Review by cigares
Tasting Distilia Artist (Yu Chuan). A rather discreet nose with a fair amount of wood, a surprising vegetal side (dried herbs) for a Diamond, dried fruit and freshness. The palate entry is too woody and, as with the nose, the aromas are a little weak, rising in power but falling back rather quickly. A lovely freshness that contrasts with the wood and dried fruit. The finish is moderately long, on wood and dried fruit. A rather good rum, but disappointing for me, I expected better.
Review by Mirco
Ripe dried fruit notes such as apricot and raisin dominate the nose, accompanied by roasted sugar and vanilla. On the palate, creamy chocolate, caramel and a hint of coffee intertwine with honey-like notes. The mouthfeel is balanced and gently structured. Despite an intense woody character, the profile remains balanced and pleasant to taste.
Review by alex
What a delight. Perfectly balanced alcohol, vanilla, leather, a hint of citrus, lots of caramel, it's just an almost perfect beverage. I loved it. Great length. My only regret is that I only had 3cl, as a bottle would have made me very happy.
Review by Master P
The color is strong and the aroma is beautiful and unmistakable. Full of caramel, dried fruit and a little coffee, chocolate and nuts. The taste is almost date-like with caramel and roasted notes, coffee and chocolate in the finish. Not bad, but the alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Martin Ekrt
This is a different coffee than the RdL 50 I had a while ago. The colour is almost like fernet and the aroma is nice and distinctive. Full of caramel, dried fruit and a bit of coffee, chocolate and nuts. The taste is downright date-y with caramel and roasted notes, coffee, chocolate on the finish. Very good.
Review by Wernie
I love the great smell of Guyanarums, and this is no exception. Sweet, spicy, chocolaty, strong. Caribbean feeling for the nose. 😊 Unfortunately, the palate can't keep up. It turns woody and bitter too quickly, and the alcohol could be better integrated. Here too, the nose scores the points.

Review by Roman Lelek
wood, dried fruit, burnt sugar, orange peel and coffee. Good one - I thought it would be more sweet…but its rather dry… The color is dark honey - more brown The nose - dark caramel and leather tones with wood and fruits…I smell some medicine or varnish tones too. The taste is balanced - integrated alcohol, but still has a power for warm medium aftertaste..the longer it stays in glass the more flavors you’ll find - from dried fruity, woody leathery till more medicine tones. To sum it up - good, drinkable, above (cheap) average, not overwhelming….good choice to the world of “better” rums…
Review by Richard Krupa
Wood in the nose, sweet spicy wood in the taste
Review by Michal S
Nice Diamond, a bit simpler but tasty and harmonious. The nose has baked notes, sugar, dried fruit, a bit of chocolate and coffee. The taste is similar, with added vanilla and wood, reminiscent of Foursquare. A very decent rum.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2003. I rate it 8.5 out of 10, an excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.

A very nice drink, not a bomb, but a good choice for an evening sip. I will definitely get this rum. It falls into my favorite portfolio and my flavor specifications. I recommend it to everyone
Review by Michal Jurka
Nice dark brown colour. On the nose mix of dried fruit and nuts, caramel, brown sugar, roasted notes of coffee, dark chocolate, leather, wood, herbals, light cola, light alcoholic On the palate: dried fruit, coffee, chocolate, wood really stands out, but also has sweet vanilla and spices. Little pungent, but nice bitter finish.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This is as forgettable as most of these early 2000's diamonds are. Unfortunately, I think they are rather boring. From the specs, this is very comparable to the Foursquare and I do prefer the Foursquare; since both are boring, this one is made less well.
