Diamond Distillery is located in Guyana, a former British colony in the north of South America, where English is the official language. Although it is geographically situated in South America, Diamond has close ties to the traditions and history of the British Isles. With its impressive living wooden stills, it is often referred to as a museum, a ghost still living in history. The Diamond Winery has a remarkable history and it is no wonder that it is considered a magical dream by rum enthusiasts and industry insiders.
One of the most unique aspects of Diamond Winery is their use of wooden stills that are over 200 years old, a tradition that has been passed down through generations. During the distillation process, steam spills out of many wood pores, creating a spectacular scene. The result is a rum with a rich, heavy, and meaty aroma, reminiscent of bananas, preserves, and pears soaked in beef soup, with a strong mellow flavor. This eye-opening aroma is a must-try for any rum aficionado.
Diamond Winery's rum stands out from the traditional perception of sweet rum flavors, offering a distinct taste profile that is rich, complex, and intriguing. The use of wooden stills adds an unparalleled depth and character to the rum, resulting in a flavor that is unmatched by modern metal stills.
