Silver Seal Diamond Demerara 2002

One member swears "something must have gone wrong at Silver Seal" — the nose reads like Jamaica, all esters, solvent and overripe banana and pineapple. On the palate the fruit steps back to honey, wood and leather, with anise and a licorice edge. Several tasters peg it as a Port Mourant. It's dry, a touch soapy for some, and not everyone's profile.

The community says
  • Ester-rich nose
  • Balanced and dry
  • But: Slightly soapy note

A dry Demerara, not my favourite taste profile. Port Mourant.

something must have gone wrong at Silver Seal. They have very likely mixed a Jamaika cask with the DDL cask. The nose is pure Jamaika. Esters, solvent and a nice fruity touch. Overripe banana and ananas. Sweet and very well balanced. On the palate the fruity notes step back. Still dried fruits, esters, but now there is honey, wood, something that reminds me of a Speyside whiskey, leather. It looses a bit on the finish, but appears still to be very smooth and balanced.
