“Is quite similar to the Corman Collins - heavy sweetness dominates, but unfortunately the reduced alcohol strength is also too noticeable in this bottling. It remains speculative whether the initial distillate would have benefited from more power - but with knowledge of the potential of the vintage coupled with the legendary Coffey still as the origin, the suspicion is close that more would have been possible.”

“Too bad that the Diamond was diluted. Potential is there! For me, a little too much molasses in the taste. Taste-wise, I therefore like the Corman a little better than the Rome de luxe 2 batch.”
