Intensely Flavored Diamond Reserve 151 Demerara Rum

Published by

From the lush banks of the Demerara River comes an intensely flavored, dark and heavier Diamond Reserve rum— Diamond Reserve 151 Demerara Rum. Crafted at the historic Diamond Distillery, where rum-making has been an art for over 300 years, this expression is not for the faint of heart — it’s for the bold, the adventurous, the uncompromising.

Aged 1–2 years in oak barrels and distilled using a rare trio of Heritage Stills, every drop carries the legacy of Guyana’s rich rum-making heritage. The French Savalle Still lends its unmatched qualities; the EHP Wooden Coffey Still brings a deep, resonant soul; and the Port Mourant Double Wooden Pot Still unleashes an intense complexity unmatched by modern machinery.

At 151 proof, this rum is a force of nature. On the nose, it greets you with aromas of dried fruits (dates, apples, apricots) with a slight hint of cigar, lingering soft mellow spices (nutmeg, clove, aniseed) and hints of butterscotch. On the palate, it explodes with vanilla, dark cocoa, and a warm rush of spice — a tasting experience that lingers like a Guyanese sunset.
