- Description
- Produced at Diamond distillery in Guyana, this 16-year-old rum from 2005 finished in white Port casks develops a distinctly spicy character. The nose shows white peach and apricot; the palate introduces baking spice and vanilla alongside the fruit. The Port finish adds structure and dried-fruit complexity without excess sweetness. Best appreciated neat to fully experience the interplay of fruit, spice, and oak.
