Our Rum & Spirits 2003 Diamond Guyana 13yo 63.7% 700ml is a limited edition expression hailing from the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana. Known for its diverse rum styles, Diamond Distillery’s expertise ranges from heavy, wooden pot stills to the lighter and more delicate Savalle still produced rums. This particular offering is a column still distillate, which has been meticulously aged for 12 years in the tropical climate and an additional year in European conditions before being bottled at cask strength. This aging process and the exceptional craftsmanship involved have led this rum to win a Gold Medal at a prestigious rum festival. The nose of this rum greets you with an inviting bouquet of tropical fruits, robust wood tones, caramel, cocoa, vanilla, and subtle hints of spices like clove and anise. On the palate, it unfurls a rich tapestry of flavors, blending caramel sweetness with tropical fruits, spices, cocoa, coffee, and nutty nuances, all underscored by a strong wood influence and whispering echoes of leather and tar. The finish is dry, woody, and enduring, with bitter walnut notes lingering on the palate, inviting you for another sip. Despite some mixed reviews, many enthusiasts laud its complexity and depth. It is recommended for serious rum lovers looking to delve into distinctive Guyanese rum styles and flavors. This bottle embodies the passion and expertise of Christian Nagel, the founder of Our Rum & Spirits, who transitioned from a rum enthusiast to launching a revered line of premium rums, gaining both recognition and awards in the industry.
This rum is unique due to its column still distillation process at the Diamond Distillery, followed by a meticulous aging process in both tropical and European climates. Its high ABV of 63.7% and the limited edition of only 197 bottles also contribute to its uniqueness.
There are speculations about added sugar in this rum, but it's not confirmed. However, many find it quite balanced with a smooth and intense flavor profile.
While some reviewers find it different from other offerings like the 12-year-old from Our Rum & Spirits, others appreciate its unique and complex flavor spectrum. It stands out with its robust and diverse aroma and taste profiles.
This rum surprised me with its intense flavors and smoothness, despite the high ABV. While the exact Mark remains unclear, the column still distillation has resulted in a balanced and fruity profile with minimal bitterness. After giving it some time to breathe, the rich spectrum of tropical fruits, spices, and wood truly shines. Although opinions vary, I find it to be a top-notch rum, recommended for those eager to explore unique Guyanese styles.
