Perola Diamond Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR 2012

Highly praised as a dark, roasted Guyana profile with smooth 50% strength and standout value. Great nose, easy sipping, offers authentic Diamond character without a big price tag.

Community Top Voice
The nose is really great, plenty of dark sugar, malt, licorice, and toasty aromas. The palate continues this, relatively dry and a bit bitter, with more herbal notes. Tobacco in the finish. The alcohol is very well integrated.

    How does Perola Diamond Bellamy‘s Reserve MDR 2012 taste?

    Dark, roasted Diamond value hitter
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy El Dorado-style darkness but want a drier, more characterful Diamond at fair money, this gives you that roasted chocolate–coffee profile in a very approachable package.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers chasing high-complexity, long-finish Demeraras or those put off by slightly oily mouthfeel, burnt sugar notes or suspected coloring.

    Aroma

    Hinweis: Tätigkeit bei Perola GmbH (Spirituosenbranche), teilweise berufliche Involvierung bei bewerteten Abfüllungen. Alle Bewertungen sind meine persönliche, unbezahlte Meinung. Endlich Mal ein vernünftiger & bezahlbarer Diamond Guyana Rum um den man sich nicht schlagen muss! Hier wird genau das Diamond Profil getroffen was ich so gerne mag und die 50% sind nicht zu dünn und nicht zu kräftig sondern sehr lecker und süffig! :) Geruchlich wie geschmacklich eine schöne Harmonie aus Zartbitter-Schokolade, Meersalz, kräftiger Melasse, Bananenbrot, Kaffee, Brombeeren und Trockenobst sowie ordentlich Gewürzen wie kandiertem Ingwer, Kardamom, Piment, Vanille und Muskat und dann etwas Tabak, Leder und Bitterorange im Abgang. 5% mehr Alkohol hätte er zwar noch vertragen können aber dann wäre er auch nochmal ein gutes Stück teurer geworden!😉 Es handelt sich hierbei übrigens um einen "small batch" aus 5 nahezu identischen Single cask diamonds die alle zwischen 64-67% hatten. PS: Macht sich hervorragend in diversen Tiki Cocktails wie dem Queens Park Swizzle!

    Ich hatte mit dem Gedanken gespielt mir eine Flasche zu holen, das lass ich bleiben. Irgendwie haben all diese gefärbten oder im zu stark gekohlten Fass gelagerten Rums den gleichen,alles überdeckenden Grundgeschmack, sei es dieser hier,der Woods Navy, oder Dictador20 und was weiß ich noch wer. Schade drum, hatte mir mehr erhofft. 😥

    Auto-translated

    Bellamy tasting. A rather dark rum with a nose of young wood, spices, raisins and burnt sugar, Sherry. Not a very well-balanced nose where flavors telescope. The palate is more balanced, soft, diluted, with tobacco and mocha, a vegetal side, leather and caramel. The finish is long, on the woody/bitter side, with a light salty and caramel note. The empty glass offers yet more fragrances. Excellent value for money.
