A gold blended Caribbean rum made with rums distilled from sugar cane molasses from three distilleries and aged on-site in American Oak ex-bourbon barrels at each distillery:

2 year-old Guyanese Demerara rum distilled at the Diamond Distillery using a wooden Enmore Coffey still built in 1880.

4 year-old Jamaican rum from the Worthy Park Estate distilled in copper pot-still.

8 year-old Barbados rum from Foursquare Distillery distilled in pot & column stills.

Cleo Farman, the Managing Director of Farman % Son Ltd, the Manchester, England company behind this rum says, "This pure blend has no added sugar, caramel or other adulteration."

Diablesse Rum is named after a temptress of Caribbean folklore, a human turned demon due to her deals with the devil said to have a beautiful figure but a hideous face hidden by a large brimmed hat and a long dress covering that one of her legs ends in a cow hoof. She is said to walk with one foot on the road and her cow hoof on the grass verge.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 26/01/2020

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden amber.

Aroma:

Spiced banana cake with grilled pineapple, pencil shavings, fruit salad chews, vanilla and cinnamon spice.

Taste:

Dry. Light to medium-bodied. Cinnamon, white pepper spice and dry oaky notes with rich banana cake, dried fruit and tart zesty citrus.

Aftertaste:

Long finish. Fruity notes fade to lingering lightly bitter oak, white pepper and cinnamon spice.

Overall:

This believably unadulterated rum is dry and spicy with white pepper and cinnamon spice sitting above tropical and dried fruit, particularly banana cake.
