Diamond is the only remaining rum distillery in Guyana, so this is from the same operation that makes the fabulous El Dorado range (amongst others). The barrel in question spent five years ageing in the tropics followed by seven years on the continent. We'd hazard to guess that the mix is majority pot still rums. Overripe tropical fruits melt into milk chocolate, liquorice bullets and molasses cake with grassy, caney notes adding appropriate freshness to the finish. Allow five minutes of air contact and this keeps on giving. The fact that it's unsweetened and carries high alcohol so effortlessly makes this seductive, integrated and perfectly balanced expression an epitome of elegance in the Guyanese category. 264 bottles from an x-whisky barrel. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... Thick and oily with aniseed, cloves, peppermint and green olives.
