Dried fruit, burnt sugar and dark chocolate over heavy roasted oak, a cask-strength single-cask Diamond Savalle from 2008, bottled by Spirit of Rum at a full 63.6%, dense, oily and unsweetened.
Description
A single cask from the Savalle still at Diamond, bottled by Spirit of Rum for the Rumclub Private Selection. The Savalle is the French metal column still, normally the lightest and cleanest of the Guyanese stills, but at sixteen years and full proof this MDS marque drinks far darker and denser than that reputation suggests.
Distilled in 2008 and matured in ex-bourbon oak, it arrives unsweetened at 63.6%, with an oily mouthfeel carrying dried fruit, burnt sugar, malt, licorice and dark chocolate over heavy roasted wood. The finish turns roasted and faintly minty with a tannic, bitter edge. This is a serious dark Guyana column rum that rewards experienced palates and a slow pace, with real intensity for the money.
