Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"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."

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."

Top review from Jakob:
"The flavorful outlier among the Velier diamonds - but by no means in a negative sense. Those who like licorice and leather notes in Demerara will find what they are looking for here. I personally like the profile very much and catapults the bottling consequently also in the top range. No classic Diamond essence, rather 70s Demerara notes with tart, heavy sweetness. An absolutely outstanding release."

"Ovomaltine at its best 😅 An der Nase malzig, Milchschokolade, getrocknete Dattel, Mandarine. Am Gaumen Karamell, Cappuccino. Im Abgang eine schöne Fass-Note. Gefährlich leckeres Teil! Besten Dank dafür nach Wien!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4232 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. This is a great release. Intense yet extremely well balanced once rested. ABV and wood are amazingly well integrated. Medium fruity with nice spices and a warm oily palate. Draws really nice and slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has light mint and caramel."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"A very nice release with nice wood power without it being too dominant. Very good ABV integration and I like the fruityness in the overall profile. The finish is extremely long and the empty glass has wonderful flavours after a while."

Top review from Thunderbird:
"What a positive surprise.....So a Diamond I had not yet in the glass! I can only agree with the previous tasters... it comes along like a dirty Caroni... delicate dark fruit notes and burnt demerara sugar is also perceptible!A great rum, especially if you consider the PLV thereby!Today in the RumX calendar, Day20:And again fully fallen into the trap...was sure to have a Caroni in the glass"

Top review from Oliver:
"Still quite young and wild. However, with some time in the glass, an exciting VSG emerges. Plummy, dark, licorice and some citrus. On the palate, however, it is still a touch too wild for a top rating."

Top review from Godspeed:
"Arnaque totale en matière de sipper. Très jeune, goût de huile de fusel comme un whiskey non vielli. Couleur très paille, mais en fait c’est presque comme il est pas âgée du tout. Un goût comme celui-ci je m’attends pour les expressions qu’ont moins de 3 ans d’âge. Pour un rhum de 16 ans d’âge, même s’il est continental (pas de spécificité en ce sujet), la qualité pour le prix c’est juste inexcusable. Cash grab honteux de la parte de Hunter Laing. Fait un daiquiri très agréable quand même mais putain de merde, on peut trouver des rhums pour daiquiris beaucoup moins chers que ça. À éviter."

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Blindly I would have guessed REV (malt, licorice, molasses, gentle) in the smell, KFM (earth, wood, leather, black tea, strong) in the taste. Definitely 100% Guyana and quite to my taste. A very fine droplet at a comparatively affordable price. I'm afraid I'll have to stock up on this rum. 😋 Update 2023-07-29: Slight downgrade from 89 to 87 points: The rum lacks a bit of fruitiness to play at the top."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"First off, I think the price tag is far too high compared to what you get. That being said this is still a pretty good Diamond. Lightly fruity with roasted wood and some notes of polish/varnish. Es and spicy on the palate and a medium to long finish."

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Third place within the new trio. The three rums are all well distinguishable from each other, each has a peculiarity. This one I felt somehow "off", as if there was something wrong with him or something was added to him. But you could also say, he has an unmistakable, strong character.Unfortunately, I can not say what irritated me so. I must probably taste again."
