Gleann Mor Spirits Company Diamond Aurum No. 4 2002
You might expect a heavy, tarry Demerara from a 17-year Diamond, but this one drinks lighter and fresher than that. Think orchard fruit (pear, apple), citrus and grapefruit, with a licorice/anise thread and a faint medicinal edge. Several tasters call it a young, wild PM. The catch: at 51.8% the alcohol reads a touch bissy and the body feels thin — a couple drops of water helps.
The community says- Fresh orchard fruit
- Licorice-anise note
- But: Thin body

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was a nice surprise. A warm fruity and fresh rum with spices and some medicinal notes. Lightly bitter and warm on the palate. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before sipping and if you like it to open up more add a drop of water or two. Price to quality is very good.
Review by TheJackDrop
Sur l’étiquette ça vend du rêve… mais ça s’arrête à l’étiquette. Sans être mauvais loin de là, ca ne tient pas ses promesses (en même temps vu le prix…). Guyana 17 ans, à part les fruits et un fond de réglisse peut être, on n’a rien de fou. C’est frais, épicé, légèrement poire pomme, un fond de médicament au réglisse lointain. Mouais.
Review by DomM
Vertical PM tasting: 89 / 95 /97 / 97 (cognac finish) / 02 / 05 / 13: Nose: Continental fruit basket is very present alongside some sweetness. Palate: nice PM markers. Some citrus-y notes and grapefruit. Nicely balanced. Feels a bit thin (watered down) though.
Review by Serge
Quite a nice PM, but I like it a little better on the nose than on the palate. There the alcohol (despite the low AbV) is quite biting and generally still a little unround. Perhaps it could have lingered a little longer. A few drops of water really help here (as described by Kevin).
Review by Thommas Voldby Sørensen
A very delicate rum with mostly roasted/burnt/woody notes in both nose and taste. Another big plus is a relative low price point. Definately worth tasting.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Alcohol poorly integrated. Slightly watered down
Review by Johannes
Taste clearly a rather young, wild PM. But nice mix of a fruit basket with licorice.
Review by John
果香，但非熟果，有些木質調，甜美的表現，些微的刮舌

A very good young savage!
