Diamond (Versailles Still) 13 Year Old (That Boutique-y Rum Company)
One of the initial releases from That Boutique-y Rum Company, featuring a 13 year old Guyanese rum from the Diamond distillery - produced in the wooden Versailles still (which was previously located at the Enmore distillery). A wooden still might not sound like the most practical, considering... Well, y'know, considering how stills work. However, this rum is proof that this wooden still makes a damn fine rum, and is particularly more useful than the various items on its label, like a glass hammer, a chocolate teapot and a helicopter with an ejector seat...
Batch 1 is a release of 439 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Red cherries and dates, coconut, ripe banana and honeydew melon. Then there’s buttered toast, apricot yogurt and a hint of coffee - basically it’s super fruity!
Palate
The banana comes to the fore along with a wash of pineapple and a hint of red chilli. Molasses and brown sugar bring even more earthy sweetness, and there’s a bitter dark chocolate and cinnamon spice underpinning it all.
Finish
Medium length and gently spiced.
Overall
A robust pot still rum with a huge personality, just bursting with tropical fruit.
