Our Rum & Spirits Diamond Guyana 2003
Dark, chewy wood and leather up front, with roasted nuts, caramel and a fresh citrus-and-berry lift that surprises a few tasters. This is a 63.7% Diamond column-still from 2003, and at that strength the alcohol shows real bite. One member calls it "semi sweet with low Diamond profile" — enjoyable and clean, but most agree it's an honest, straightforward Guyana rather than a deep or thrilling one.
The community says- Dark wood and roast
- Fresh citrus fruit
- But: Hot alcohol

How does Our Rum & Spirits Diamond Guyana 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Sturdy, high-proof Guyana with a hot edge Most find it a good, sturdy Guyana with solid value — dark wood, roast and bright fruit. The recurring gripe: the high-proof alcohol runs a bit hot and the profile stays simple.

Habe diesen 13yo 2003er Diamond von ORS zusammen mit dem 14yo ORS und dem neuen 2003er Diamond von Elizabeth Yard im Glas. Die Rums haben ein sehr ähnliches Profil, der EY hat den intensivsten Antritt. Dieser 13yo ORS ist süßer und frischer als der EY, die röstigen Aromen nicht ganz so präsent wie beim EY. Die Zitrusfrucht ist zitroniger, die Beeren sind verhaltener, dafür noch einen Hauch Vanille, der Kakao ist schokoladiger. Der Mund ist überraschend intensiv, leider ist der Alkohol mit etwas Biss zu spüren. Die Früchte bleiben überraschend frisch, mit deutlicher Säure, neben den Zitrusfrüchten gibt es weiter Himbeeren und die bekannten röstigen Aromen von der Karamellfärbung. Der Abgang ist nicht zu bitter, Röstaromen und die saure Frucht bleibt erhalten. Der Rum ist schon gut und ohne Fehler, aber ich finde das Profil insgesamt nicht so spannend, es ist doch ein eher einfaches Column still Destillat. Die Reihenfolge heute Abend ist klar: Der Elisabeth Yard, ist zwar kein Port Mourant aber ein sehr guter Vertreter aus dem Batch. Der 13yo von ORS ist der zweitbeste dieser Session, der 14 yo kann leider nicht mithalten.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Sehr ähnlich zum RX1891: Schöner Guyana mit vernünftigem PLV. Dunkle Noten dominieren, Holz, Leder. Das ganze hinterlässt im Mund ein Gefühl Schwere, man meint, den Rum kauen zu müssen. Was dem Rum fehlt, ist die Tiefe, das Filigrane oder Spannende. Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Unterm Strich ein solider Guyana, aber keiner, der mir in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Palate Oily, round, fruits, light banana, light cinnamon, round, wood, light caramel, prunes, faint mint. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, faint tannins, fruits, dried fruit, light caramel, naturally sweet.
Review by MarcT
A nice Rum, surprising me. Unfortunately it is not clear what Mark was used, it is noted as column still, but the result is quite intense with flavours and smooth at the same time. There may be a bit added sugar, but I am not sure. Quite balanced (at least to me), but I also gave this a long time to breathe. Very fruity and not much bitterness.
Review by zabo
Im Vergleich heute die zwei Abfüllungen von Our Rum&Spirits. Beide aus Guyana von 2003. Im Fazit muss ich sagen, dass mir der um 1 Jahr längere gelagerte um einiges besser gefällt. Der jüngere wirkt unausgewogener. Beide sind o.k. Aber für mich leider keine Spitzenklasse.
Review by Banana Joe
Im Vergleich zum RX1891 leicht schwächer. Am Gaumen fehlen mir die Fruchtaromen. Abgang ist auch wesentlich kürzer. Nichtsdestotrotz ein tolles PLV was man leider bei Neuabfüllungen so kaum noch findet. Ich habe ei deutig zu spät angefangen um tolle Rums zu erschwinglichen Preisen zu bekommen.
Review by Jakob
Heavy sweetness meets roasted nuts, smoke and bitter wood notes and fresh citrus notes. I like it a lot and it proved to be a top PLV at the issue price.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Ganz anders wie der 12y alte von our rum & spirits. Sagt mir leider nicht so sehr zu... Alkohol ist sehr prägnant leider und dominant.
Review by Oliver
Very pleasant nose. But a little too alcoholic on the palate.
