The Wild Parrot Diamond Guyana 2012
The verdict here is unusually warm and unanimous: tasters are surprised how much depth this pulls off at only 13 years. Expect burnt Demerara sugar, dark dried fruit, black pepper and a minty, woody edge, with a velvety heavy-sweet finish that reads as molasses rather than sugary. Several note it needs time in the glass to really open up.
- Complex for its age
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Long warm finish

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I had to retaste it where I left it a bit longer in the glass before giving it a go and it does actually open up a lot more with time (my bottle is only half full and has been that for a while). Scores better this time 😊 ------- #6250 17.01.2026 Giving this new release a test run and I really like it. Nose Medium intense, wood, molasses, dried fruit, light mint, faint caramel. Palate Medium spicy, warm, peppery, wood, light roasted dried fruit, cinnamon, molasses. Finish Very long and warm, medium peppery, naturally sweet, molasses, raisin, light caramel. Empty glass Molasses, light chocolate, light caramel, raisin, nutmeg. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly.
Review by jules
Pretty complex for such a young age! After a first taste, I now also have the bottle at home and have drunk it several times, a great drop. Apparently, only 120 bottles were filled from the cask, which seems almost pointless to me considering the quality and the price. What on earth happened there?😯

#1781 09-05-2026 - Rate 8.8 5th rum at birthday tasting This one took non by surprise. All but one had Guyana and one also had Diamond. And what a rum. Does not taste like a young rum only 13 years old.
