Nobilis Diamond No.18 SVL 2003 18yr 55,4%
The "No.18 SVL" is produced in Guyana's Diamond distillery and carefully selected by Nobilis Rum. This 2003 molasses-based rum is aged for 18 years in oak, bottled at a robust cask strength of 55.4% ABV. Notable for its limited release of 245 bottles, the rum impresses with a multifaceted nose of woody, vanilla, spicy, and fruity aromas including hints of papaya. The palate unveils dried fruits, dark chocolate, oak, and licorice, providing a rich and creamy experience. While its attributes are appreciated, some users note a lack of subtle sophistication, deeming it a superb, if not entirely distinctive, Guyana rum. A delightful sipper for rum enthusiasts.

“84 points. Pleasant nose that holds back a little, spices, wood, vanilla and caramel stand out. A little more expressive in the mouth, chocolate, nuts, vanilla, wood, spices and dried fruit. Well balanced but not extremely complex.”

“MaJ: After emptying most of the bottle I figure this stuff is, in fact, even a little better than my first review. I'm adjusting my opinion upwards by 3 points. Very good, lacks a few corners and edges but is still more than satisfactory. Makes you want to find more of Guyana's treasures. A high-quality product at a fair price for what you get. My only slight drawback is the bottle, which could have been a little prettier (in direct comparison with Velier releases, for example).”

“Nose: woody-spicy yet fruity-fresh. Sweet and sour lemon with orange syrup and papaya. In addition, the sweetness of toffee. Behind that, tobacco and vanilla and a slightly artificial essence of polish. The alcohol stings a bit. Overall, the nose is a bit restrained.Palate: the alcohol from the nose is no longer noticeable on the palate. It seems really smooth and creamy, chocolatey and nutty. Also strongly reminiscent of sweet, soft licorice. It gets a bit bitter and licoricey in the back. Delicious and almost quaffable...This one is interesting, since nose and palate are different (palate better here!). Very tasty.”
