Just the color of it tells you you're in another world. The nose is greedy, with chocolate, vanilla, orange and plums, spiced up by the old barrel and hints of shoe polish. On the palate, the structure remains the same: vanilla, chocolate cream, coffee, orange, plum... and the cask and polish are more present than on the nose, without diminishing the extreme delicacy of this juice. The finish is long on vanilla, barrel and shoe polish. Long after finishing this tasting, I had an impression of menthol too. One of the best rums I've ever tasted.

This one is really fun! Typical molasses Diamond from the 1996 vintage. Fortunately, compared to other bottlings, the alcohol content is not chosen too low!
