A cask strength 8 Year Old Diamond blend of DHE and Port Mourant marques, bottled dry at 54.3%, leaning into Guyana’s funkier side with dried fruit, raisin, plum, caramel and light smoke.
Description
Nobilis bottled this 2014 Diamond at cask strength, blending the DHE and Port Mourant marques for a higher-ester, more characterful profile than the clean Savalle workhorse. At eight years and 54.3% it is young and punchy, an unsweetened release with strong value and real Guyanese character.
Distilled from molasses and matured in ex-bourbon, it shows dried fruit, a medicinal edge, toffee and roasted notes on the nose, then caramel, chocolate, roasted notes and prune on the palate, finishing on raisin, wood, roast and chocolate. Bottled dry, it carries a woody, slightly metallic twist and light smoke alongside the dark fruit. Surprisingly round for its age, it offers Guyana's funkier, more ester-driven side at full strength, a satisfying value sipper for drinkers ready to explore beyond the softer El Dorado profiles.
