Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Most helpful positive review
A very light and easy to drink rum. Unlike other rums from Bristol Clasics this one has been coloured with caramel. This rum was destilled by Diamond Destillery in Guyana.

It's bloody awful, actually just burnt sugar in a burnt barrel. And thin too....
Review by Oliver
Angenehm, pflaumig, leicht bitter. Entspannter Sipper.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Quite a weak Guyana. Very weak taste, aroma, and finish... a pity even at 40%.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →It's okay as a sipper but it is a little short in the finish. I salute John Barrett for allowing us to taste this rum as it is but at £48.99 I would personally want more than a mixer.
