"Luckily this was the last rum of the evening or all the other samples would have failed horribly in comparison. A great rum and again one that was hidden in the back of a top shelf at a tiki bar., where they had a rum aficionado. The nose is complex and well balanced with fruits, smoked Wood, vanilla and chocolate. The chocolate and vanilla really come out if you leave the empty glass for a while. The palate takes off where the nose finishes. Complex and well balanced with fruit, smoky wood, vanilla and a hint of coffee/mocha. The finish is incredibly long with wood, cherries, chocolate and vanilla. I know this is a rare bottle, but my oh my, what a great rum."

Lightly dry in a good way and a perfectly balanced and complex rum. I'd say this is a super refined XO! "

"After a long wait and many bids, I finally won an auction and received this one yesterday. Considering the price some may think I'm mad, but I just love rum. This particular one is one year older than me (destillation year) and has matured for 36 years! The nose is amazing and heaven 17 with fruits and spices topped with smoke and molasses. In the back i can find leather, wow, so nice. The palate is complex and very well balanced candied fruits, spices and toffee followed by tea and nuts topped of by oak. The finish is forever nutty with toffee and coffee and again oak. Money well spent :-) "

"This one is almost up to par with its older brother and just a joy for your nose and palate. Again you'd probably need to get it at auction like me if you want it.The nose is setting off with varnosh/polish followed by spices and nuts. The sherry cask is in there too with somme mint.The palate lives up to the nose again setting off with varnish and spices. Then it goes into chocolate, nuts and minty molasses. A very complex yet balanced rum.The finish is, like its older brother, forever and besides oak boasts spices, cocoa and a hint of sherry."

I left it to rest for 15 minutes after which the flavours eminating from the glass were very intense. Very fruity with roasted wood and some leather and caramel. I also find a light earthy note in the back. The palate is complex and very fruity with roasted wood. Secondly I get vanilla, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. A full bodied rum, wow. The finish is long with roasted wood/smoky wood, chocolate and raisin. Great rum that deserves credit."

The palate is well balanced and complex as well as warming with fruit and some anise. The i get oak and chocolate, yum.

"Wow, this was a major step forward and I'm happy i didn't start with this one because then the previous one would have had a worse score. I knew this one would be good, but it was super good. A very limited release well worth the price tag on release. This one needs to rest for a good while before you give it a go and I also recommend a few drops of water after the first nosing and palate because it releases a lot of flavours. The nose has smoky wood, rubber and tar followed by fruit, vanilla, tobacco and a bit of chocolate. The palate is balance, complex and sweet with smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by vanilla and caramel. The finish is long, very long and has smoky wood, tar, rubber and vanilla. Try to leave the empty glass for later because it only gets better on the nose."

"Having this one on my upper shelf, where all the yummy stuff is always makes me happy. I have retasted it and compared to my old notes. This time it got a few more points. This is a very heavy rum that needs a frop of water and a rest before you give it a go. The nose is wonderful yet kind of light, setting off with fruits and some varnish before serving nuts, chocolate and spices before ending it with oak. The palate is, now hold on, a well balanced and complex experience. Bitter and dry at the same time and it draws nice oily curtains. Lots of fruit topped with caramel, spices and smoky oak."

I'm not a certain but I made a note that I thought there was a hint of raisin in there. The nose is heavy on roasted wood with tar, molasses and some nuts. The palate is heavy, very complex and extremely well balanced with lots of roasted, even burnt wood actually, tar, molasses and a hint of mint. The finish goes on forever and has lots of roasted/burnt wood and tar. The note I have is that the colour was beautifully dark, bomb of a nose and heavy curtains in the glass."

Top review from Robert Bauer

"Nose The Bouquet is a Versace dress in liquid aggregate. Incredibly oplulent, vibrant and yet of undeniable elegance. Feels almost like a perfume called Eau de Demerara, coming straight from the jungle. The scent of the finest, freshly cut woods such as sandalwood and cedar alternates in continuous play with lovely blossoms of ylang-ylang, poppy blossom, lilac and myrrh. The whole weave is carried by sweet mangoes, sticky glue and a light coconut blossom note, which absolutely corresponds to the Diamond profile. Palate La grande bellezza! Sweet, super concentrated and oily, the first sip fills the palate with dried mangos, fried cassava slices, tamarind paste and milk chocolate with coconut filling. But there is also a note of Masala Chai in there, giving it an oriental twist. The sweetness is striking! At no point does the 61.4% abv seem dominant or sharp. The tropical maturation has done a perfect job here! It's clearly a Diamond Coffey Still Rum, yet it somehow tastes more refined and sophisticated than the other Velier Diamonds. ғɪɴɪsʜ Long like the red carpet of Cannes, flanked by the abovementioned fine woods and a whole bunch of citrus peels."

"Completely different league than all other Montebellos known to me - it should of course also be noted that it is in the comparison field in terms of distillation vintages a difference of more than three decades. What is offered here, however, is simply sensational: In the nose already of breathtaking depth with heavy fruits, fresh cola aroma and floral notes, the bouquet thickens on the palate to an oily texture with chocolaty sweetness, heavy fruitiness, excellent spice and perfectly balanced wood influence. Whatever Carrere (or whoever - the exact origin is still rumored) did differently than today: Play it again, Sam!"

It comes in right after Velier's Uitvlugt 1988 (RX3502). 😍😍P. S.: It tastes even better to me now than when I first tasted it five months ago.

"A REVolution even among the REVs. After the first onslaught of some glue and a lot of dark chocolate has evaporated, the plum shows up, which also remains present in the taste. The herbs that had the last RA REV go here rather into the floral what I personally find very pleasant. In the taste comes to the dark chocolate and plum still strong mocha.

"This is a very good Cadenhead, probably one of the best ones they ever made. I can only recommend it if you can get a bottle, which would mean auction.The nose is wonderful kicking off with glue and some varnish before settling into fruits, nuts and coffee. A bit of wood in there as well.The palate picks up where the nose left off. Intense and complex and a bit oily. Nice curtains in the glass. Fruity with cocoa and coffee. In the back i get licorice, caramel, tea and wood.The finish is forever and fruity with spices the back has wood and burnt sugar."

"Wow, this is the hammer. Despite its age this is a complex rum and it needs water to release all the flavours as well as remove the sting from the ABV. The nose is molasses, plum and wood from the start and then leather, caramel and herbal notes. Without water the ABV will clean your nose. The palate oily, very complex and balanced with molasses, smoky wood and fruits trailed by spices and light medicinal and herbal notes. Without water it will bite you and with water it really opens up. The finish is long as in very long and complex with molasses, wood and spices. A great rum!"

"Sitting on my couch enjoying my final sample of this treasure. A wonderfully complex and balanced rum that is kind of a heavy rum. Despite all the years in the cask the oak never takes over and becomes dominant. Nutty with light fruits and wood. There is a hint of nuts and smoke on the palate and finish. There is a hint of caramel and coffee in there as well. A wonderful rum :-)"

"Un rhum très fonçé d’aspect. Un nez avec un alcool très bien intégré, avec du boisé et du fumé, du Porto, des agrumes. Un nez à la fois monolithique et complexe. Une bouche avec des tannins, très boisée, fumée, amère avec du végétal qui amène de la fraîcheur. Un net goût de réglisse (bois doux). En finale toujours des agrumes, de la fumée et de la réglisse. Cette amertume et ce boisé me font penser au Caroni Velier 1994 Guyana Stock. Le verre vide est magnifique avec des parfums de vieille maison en bois patinée et encaustiquée. Merci Dr Django pour le sample."

"Jour 24 du calendrier Samples de luxe. Splendide nez qui me plonge dans l’univers Caroni. Pas un Caroni dur et sans concessions, un Caroni complexe et fruité. Ouch ! La bouche est puissante, les arômes massifs s’arrondissent pourtant assez vite et s’entremêlent. Une fête du village avec des maisons de vieux bois au cheminées fumantes. Mille odeurs mêlant fruits trop mûrs et voitures qui ont cuit au soleil de l’après-midi. La finale révèle le potentiel de ce rhum avec d’autres expressions, puis d’autres encore. Infinie et parfaite. Un rhum d’exception, surtout pour sa finale, mais il réserve sans doute encore de bonnes surprises à l’oxydation. Le verre vide fait la part belle à un atelier mécanique tout proche."

"This one was kind of a disappointment for me. If you want to nose it you'll have to wait at least 20 minutes or the alcohol will remove all the hair from your nose. I tried to have a sip after 30 minutes but it still burned pretty bad. After 90 minutes it was still alcoholic, so you will need water for this one. Alcohol is poorly integrated and dominates throughout the profile. The nose is caroni but the palate doesnt match the nose at all. Price to quality is not good. "

Sweetness, spice, borderline smokiness, wood, rubber and tar...I feel well taken care of all around, precisely because this rum definitely has rough edges and also the high alcohol content does not hide and brings out the Caroni-typical notes almost perfectly.

"Un Caroni plus subtil avec le vieillissement entre Trinidad et Guyana. Cette influence se retrouve au nez, avec d’un côté les notes de goudron et de caoutchouc, de boisé et de cuir, puis les notes sombres et plus fruitées de l’autre. L’ensemble est homogène et équilibré. Le palais oscille entre la puissance de Caroni (hydrocarbures, caoutchouc, notes fumées) et la douceur de Guyana (chocolat, café, fruits tropicaux), offrant un profil complexe et délicat, étonnamment gourmand et sucré après aération. La finale est plus subtile et mince qu’à l’accoutumé chez Caroni, le profil sombre des rhums de Guyana prenant le dessus ici. Un Caroni plutôt atypique de par son vieillissement, mais un hybride tout en finesse qui se veut complexe et gourmand."

"Luckily this was the last rum of the evening or all the other samples would have failed horribly in comparison. A great rum and again one that was hidden in the back of a top shelf at a tiki bar., where they had a rum aficionado. The nose is complex and well balanced with fruits, smoked Wood, vanilla and chocolate. The chocolate and vanilla really come out if you leave the empty glass for a while. The palate takes off where the nose finishes. Complex and well balanced with fruit, smoky wood, vanilla and a hint of coffee/mocha. The finish is incredibly long with wood, cherries, chocolate and vanilla. I know this is a rare bottle, but my oh my, what a great rum."

"Benchmark Rockley! ❤️A liquid dream!Compared to the SS, Nobilis and Plantation, it has both the best nose and the best palate. Very nice roundness, alcohol top integrated, some smoke, but overall a honey monster!"

Top review from Joachim Guger

"In der Nase Honig, Vanille, Lakritz, verschmolzen mit einer schönen blumigen Note. Richtig los geht‘s dann im Mund. Karamell, viel Holz, Gewürze. Fett und ölig. Es folgt ein epischer Abgang… Ein toller Rum!"

"Für mich der Gewinner der 94er. Sehr intensiv, für einen 94er relativ rund, trotzdem viel Caroni-DNA!"

"For a top rating, it is a tad too floral for me. But plays in the Champions League!"

Top review from Jakob

"Very noble profile, although extremely bitter. Cocoa, coffee, leather, barrel - multilayered dark notes paired with some dried fruit and subtle sweetness. A rum for which you have to take your time, but which is worth it."
