Rum Nation 2005 Diamond SV Whisky Finish 15-Year

A limited edition rum from Guyana (Diamond distillery) at 59%ABV cask strength. It is a single cask rum. This one was numbered 118/19/23. The total number of bottles was limited to 868. The rum is 15 years old and was aged first in bourbon barrels and then in whisky barrels.

Bottle: Classic round. Supplied in a tube.
Colour: Dark amber to mahogany.

Nose: Very pleasant, which is not aggressive considering the % of alcohol. The nose had caramel, roasted cane sugar, dried figs and plums, furniture polish, charred barrel, raisins and oak.
Mouth: Strong and dry. There is a whisky influence. Quite a burn in the throat - the %ABV is already noticeable. The palate had charred barrel, tobacco, whisky, smoke, oak, bitter cocoa powder, pepper and ginger. It gets slightly sweeter towards the end of the taste.
Finish: Long and intense.

Conclusion: A very strong and heavy rum that is similar in flavour to whisky. The rum is suitable for those who prefer unsweet and strong spirits (especially strong whisky).

Rating: 9/10

Jsem whiskař a whisky po rumu zatím nic moc, ale rumy po whisky mi chutnají hodně. Tenhle je velmi povedený. Plný nos rumových a sladových záležitostí, naprosto úžasné, celé to doprovází spálený cukr z té nejlepší cukrárny světa. Tohle mi sedlo. Rašelina, ta tam je skoro neznatelně, ale při tom dotváří celý charakter láhve a rozpouští se v sladkosti rumu. Druhy pokus: vsechno zustava, ale dneska mi tam raaselina vylezla vic. Osciluje to mezi 8 a 9 body, ale ta raselina to u me posouva na 9.

En rigtig god rom der er både skarp og intens. Pragtfuld lang eftersmag der er både tør, krydret og pebret.

Der findes 868 flasker i alt.
