“Wood and chocolate dominate this Guyana gem.”

The Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 46 MDS, crafted at Guyana's Diamond distillery and bottled by Spirit of Rum, is a well-aged 2008 molasses-based rum. Distilled using a Savalle still and aged for 16 years, this cask-strength release boasts a robust 63.6% ABV. With only 298 bottles available, its aroma is marked by woody and dark chocolate notes, complemented by dried fruits like raisin and prunes. The palate offers pronounced burnt sugar, woodiness, and chocolate, with hints of prunes and a burnt flavor. This rum has impressed with its complexity, but its strong woody and bitter profile may not suit all palates.

“The Ed. 39 from the Rumclub, a 2006 REV (RX16863), is already a very successful bottling, but RX16863 is no match for the Rumclub's new stroke of genius, especially on the palate. It is rounder, more complex, deeper, fuller-bodied, stronger, more palatable, sweeter, oilier. And I'm not saying that because I live in Berlin and am therefore close to the source. See for yourself. This is supposed to be a 2008 Diamond? It really seems to me that the barrel was mixed up and a REV was sent to Spirit of Rum instead of the Diamond. And not a 2006 REV, but actually a 1994. Can that really be the case? I hope there will soon be a comment function here, then I could read your direct reactions. For me, this is a hot contender for rum of the year without hesitation. Drink it and you'll agree with me. If it is a Diamond after all, which I hope will be verified by tasting experts, it seems to me to be most similar to the MDXC profile from 2004 (RX7442). Or perhaps the 96 (RX10043, RX10046)? 🤔 I'll stick with REV 1994 for now. 😉 Exciting!”

“On the nose and palate a nice MDS cask indeed. A bit ahead of the Perola/Bellamy‘s. The finish is very much on the woody and bitter side, however, which costs some points. Very solid dark Guyana column rum.”

“Very nice red-brown color in the glass! The nose is heavy and full-bodied, lots of prune/plum jam as well as roasted aromas, burnt sugar and barrel. The aromas are strong and the alcohol is also noticeable with a slight sting. Further aromas are added over time. The palate is very consistent with the nose, nice sour cherry notes! The alcohol is again in the foreground. As expected, the long finish is slightly bitter but by no means unpleasant. A very good bottling with a character that fits perfectly into the Christmas season. I particularly like how consistent the rum remains throughout the tasting. For a rating of 90+, I feel it lacks a certain degree of "smoothness". Nevertheless, a recommendation to buy.”
