Not the dark, tarry Guyana you might expect — this pale Diamond pot-still leans fresh and fruity. Give it 20 minutes and it shifts from varnish and orange peel into raisins, figs, apple and pear with sweet spices. The alcohol isn't fully tucked in at 59.3%, and one taster flagged a metallic, mineral edge that oddly makes you want another sip.

How does The Duchess Diamond Guyana 17 2003 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Fruity, metallic Diamond pot still, hot and evolving Members like the unusually fruity, fresh profile and the way it opens up with air. The catch: a hot, not-quite-integrated alcohol and a strong metallic streak that won't suit everyone.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4085 Considering the price tag I think you get a lot for your money. Fruity and pretty well balanced. It needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours and I like the light dryness in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up licorice and some ginger.
Review by DomM
So far my favorite out of the „younger“ KFMs. Most pronounced fruit notes. If this is based on the partial tropical aging remains speculation. ;)

Review by Rare Akuma
Initially wafts of varnish, orange peel and molasses, but leave it to develop for 20 minutes and it gets tannic with raisins, figs and dried dates. Leave it for another 20 minutes and more continental notes appear in the form of apple and pear completed with sweet spices, a touch of anise and a pinch of saffron. On the palate it opens up overly metallic then turns mineral rather quickly with notes of petrichor. The same dried fruits and orange peel make a comeback. Again quite tannic. Fresh herbal tea and anise at the back of the tongue. It has a burn, as the alcohol is unfortunately not integrated perfectly. Finishes lovely with honeyed tea, dried fruits and licorice candy. I like it, but I only just opened the bottle. The flavours are still very rudimentary and will most likely develop better over time with more oxidation. EDIT: Retasted this after a couple of months and it has indeed settled nicely.
Review by Martin Ekrt
I wouldn't call it 17 years old by its color even with continental aging, but the aroma is interesting. Very fresh fruit with technicality and a bit of floral. On the palate again very pleasant fruit with molasses. This one pleasantly surprised me.
Review by passlemix
Perceptible alcohol on the nose and palate, but nothing more disturbing than that. Otherwise, the nose and palate are coherent: milk chocolate, grapes. It also has a very metallic side that gives it a very pleasant acidity. An acidity that makes you want to come back for more. On the finish, there's a very slight bitterness, but nothing derengeant either.
