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.

A dry Demerara, not my favourite taste profile. Port Mourant.
Review by Mopar Rules
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.
Review by Frank
Nose: seems very fresh, dominated at the beginning by lemon peel and sulfured papaya. A sweetish note of just the lemon and perhaps beeswax. Something woody-spicy hides there too, vanilla and very light resin. At the back something herbal, pickled olive perhaps? Palate: hmm, seems rather flat and diluted at the beginning, but then comes with interesting things: first sulfurous with iodine and clear umami notes, seems metallic and slightly soapy. Then some caraway that evolves towards dried apricot. Not top, but still interesting.
