Distillerie : Diamond
Marks : VSG
Distillation : single wooden pot still
Abv: 58.9%

I have a PM in the nose, intensive and balanced. Seems that VSG is very close to PM, these are the last two specimens still in activity.
I get honey, with a sour note (sour apples like Smith&Cross), sugar cane, prune, banana, peach, grasy notes and herbs, nutmeg, cinnamon, oak and pencil shavenings. Great nose, not as sour as the PM from That Boutique-y rum.

The taste starts sweet with honey and sugar cain followed by some sour apple, prune, banana and grasy notes with vanilla. Not a sour start like That Boutique-Y.
In the middle I get again honey, appe, pencil shavenings, oak and a medical note at the end. It's a tasty PM.
The finish starts with spice, apples and honey, then some oak with tannins

Great rum overall, very fruity like Jamaica rum (some similarities to worthy park). Would rate it with 88 points.
