Diamond (Versailles Still) 16 Year Old (That Boutique-y Rum Company)
It's the second batch of fantastic Guyanese rum from the Diamond Distillery and its wooden Versailles still bottled by That Boutique-y Rum Company! This one was allowed to age for 16 years, developing a wonderfully rich flavour profile of spice, fruit and vanilla. Yes, the still is wooden, which sounds ridiculous (like a chocolate teapot or a glass hammer), but the proof is in the pudding. Or rum. You could enjoy it as pudding, if you like.
Batch 2 is a release of 578 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Creosote, tobacco, stem ginger and a hint of raspberry are balanced by some sweeter notes of vanilla and dark berries.
Palate
Black fruits, green apple and smokier notes of charcoal emerge through zesty oak spice, then leather and toffee treacle with just a touch of pineapple to add a little sweetness.
Finish
Long and spicy with a lot of complexity.
