Moon Import Diamond Demerara Rum 1998
Loved by N’ours, Double Barrel & 2 more
A solid stepping stone into Demerara for those building their palate. Sherry wood adds dried fruit, toffee and light spice, while the 45% ABV keeps it soft and easy. Best as a relaxed sipper or gentle intro in a Demerara lineup, though some find it a bit thin and pricey for the age and origin.
- Elegant nose
- Easy sipping
- Balanced sherry touch

Review by N’ours
Dommage la réduction casse la longueur car c’est très bon sinon un bonbon d’épices.
Review by Double Barrel
The Sherry cask's influence is very discreet and elegant here. Slightly nutty in the nose, a little rancio in the empty glass before it gets completly mild butter toffee with a picogramm of salt, Yummi!. The palate delivers toffee, Capuccino, chocolate, salted liquorice/burnt sugar with a fennel/anise mix also but more in the background making this Diamond very round. You also get the european oak's spices that brings an herbal tingling edge. The whole being well balanced till the medium finish that i find very consistent despite the reduction. A solid starter for a Demerara line-up.

Review by Galli33
This is a solid rum to start your demerara adventure. Very lovely nose with a good impact of the sherry barrel. In mouth it’s very soft, thin, diluted, uncomplex and unspectacular. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is delicious but short Price to value is actually very bad.
Review by Werni
Ich bin kein Sherryfinish-Fan, erst recht nicht bei Guyanas, aber hier hält sich in der Nase der Sherry gekonnt zurück und unterstreicht gekonnt die Demerara Gene. Der Gaumen kann da nicht mithalten, zu dünn, viel bitteres Holz, ein wenig muffig, ansonsten nicht viel, schade. Tolle Nase 8/10 , Gaumen 5/10
