About this release

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Taste of Whisky, we are launching a new brand: The Taste of Rum. We begin this adventure with a cask chosen after months of preparation and samples from many other rums. Join us on a journey to sun-soaked Guyana and the sweet 1990s, to a rum from the Diamond distillery whose texture, aroma and flavour recall GlenDronach whiskies from the late twentieth century. Our 26-year-old Diamond was distilled on 1 June 1996, matured in a bourbon barrel under a continental climate — although some sources say it spent its first year in the tropics, this has not been confirmed — and bottled in December 2022 at its natural strength of 47.3%. For this bottling, we chose a completely new presentation: the Glencairn Supreme Decanter.

Notka degustacyjna

Nos

Varnish leads, followed by dried plums, dates and caramel ice cream drizzled with dark chocolate syrup.

Taste

Sweet at first, with burnt sugar and molasses. A pleasant oily texture gives way to a hint of light-roast espresso.

Finish

Long, with a slight but pleasant sparkle and a touch of dryness.
