The Single Cask Diamond Distillery Guyana Rum 2004 (12 year old) 57%
Cask 96/ Dist: 2004 Btl: 2016/ Tasted: Jun 2017
A distinctly Guyanan nose of pungent, youthful, oily, vegetal, high toned, column still spirit. There’s a touch of tropical fruit but the vegetal notes dominate. With time a little sweet vanilla and wood spice appears.
The palate mirrors the nose with plenty of pungent, oily, high toned and estry fruit. Raw and vegetal but pleasantly intense with quite a spicy middle. Long and dry with a little bitter spice and dark chocolate.
Water does it no favours at all and completely flattens it!
