Review by mto75
The typical REV profile is unmistakable, caramel, toffee, dried fig, orange soda. Allspice, mocha, toasted barrel on the palate. Not bad, but I see the 2006 REV a little further up the points shelf
Review by Eric Frechin
Guyana quite young in its tasting. A rather complex nose of wood, toffee, orange and leather. But with a dominance of spices. On the palate, the attack is easy, the roasted wood replaced by a bitter root and licorice. The spices are still present. Medium finish. A pleasant and accessible way to discover this distillery.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Typical "young" Diamond REV profile. Very round, spicy and crisp and intense. All the familiar markers are where you want them, alcohol well integrated. Not a world first, but well made!
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2025. A sweet nose, with molasses (bitter) and caramel. Wood, leather and tropical fruit. The palate is rather full-bodied, with mostly vanilla wood and caramel. It's good, but also lacks complexity and depth. The finish is rather short, with wood, caramel and stewed fruit.
Review by zabo
Alles in allem ein solider REV, den man das junge Alter aber schon anmerkt. Im Vergleich zu den 2006er REV der parallel verkostet wurde hängt er ein bißchen nach. Solide, aber leider auch gerade nicht mehr.
Review by Master P
Schöner Junger knackiger Guyana REV. Man merkt ihm die jungen Jahre ein wenig an am Anfang, Alkohol ist ein wenig scharfkantig. Nach ein paar Schlücken relativiert sich das aber und die Typischen Noten kommen gut durch. Durchaus gelungen
Review by DomM
The REV DNA in this more recent vintage is clearly distinguishable. Not very surprising, obviously. However, the twist towards notes of coal and (heavily) buent sugar is very much dominating. Even after a couple of weeks in the opened bottle, this is only moderately moderated. I‘d not say this is bad per se, as this is a defining characteristic of the REV profile imho, but clearly worse versus the 2006 vintage (and the 1994s, obviously) at this point in time/aging. Very curious to see how the 2014 vintage will develop with some more years in the casks.

02.09.2025 Already having a retaste 😊 --------------- #5603 30/31.08.2025 Tasted at the Germen Rum Fest, where I met a lot of the guys and also a lot of new faces. This release is a milder REV, but still has all the expected REV flavours you're normally looking for. I like it and I bought 2 bottles so that I can share it with friends and colleagues.
Review by Skyfly
Messebewertung: Leckerer REV, der in der Nase noch etwas verhalten ist, im Gaumen aber eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion auslöst. Finde die Gewürze persönlich etwas zu markant im Gaumen. Alkohol sehr präsent
Review by Fuwi
Great REV, almost bitter on the nose at first, like black tea that has steeped too long. On the tongue, there is initially a lot of dark, solid wood, oak or even heavier in the direction of mahogany. There is also a light caramel sweetness, vanilla and dark fruit. Needs some time in the glass to become round and smooth, before that it seems very rough and impetuous. But that also has its charm.
Review by Basti
Leckerer junger REV.
Review by Johannes
Guter rum, mir aber deutlich zu viel Melasse und Lakritz- Noten.
Review by Lukas Jäger
2014, the next REV vintage. Recognizable as Demerara on the nose, but I wouldn't classify it as REV for now. A little more familiar on the palate: Woody, dried fruit, a slight herbal note. Overall, however, somehow nothing really. Maybe in a few years, but at the moment it's clearly 94 >> 06 >> 14. Let's wait and see what the future brings.
Review by Nils123
In der Nase ist er erst etwas trocken und nicht so vielversprechend. Im Geschmack kommen dann mehr Aromen und sogar eine leichte Süße (Karamell). Am stärksten ist für mich jedoch der lange Abgang mit einer leckeren Kombination aus Mokka, Nüssen und dunkler Schokolade.
Review by Carlitooo
Ein schönes junger REV, der Spaß macht
