The Old Brothers 2003 Diamond MDK #30 15yo rum is a limited release of just 349 bottles, the result of an exceptional collaboration between Old Brothers and the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana. This 15-year-old rum is a testament to the rich heritage of Demerara, a region celebrated for its exceptional rums. Distilled in 2003, the rum was matured for 15 years in old bourbon barrels and bottled in 2018 without coloring or chill filtration. The Diamond Distillery, home to some of the oldest stills in Guyana, greatly contributes to the legend of English-style rums. Among these stills is the Versailles plantation still, a pot-still made of Greenhart wood, a local species. The head and swan neck are made of copper, and a small rectifying column allows only one pass to be made. This exquisite rum offers an intriguing flavor profile that combines fresh green apple, minty goodness, and intense licorice notes, with an impressive 61.5% ABV that highlights its bold, distinctive characteristics. The aroma is invigorating, with hints of fresh green apple, ripe banana, aromatic cinnamon, and delicate licorice. The palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, starting with fruity and buttery notes, followed by light fruits, soft and velvety vegetal touches, and a hint of roasted nuts. The texture is coppery and metallic, interspersing the different phases of the tasting, making this rum a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
