    How does this rum taste?

    The Collectors Series No. 2 MDS is a well-crafted rum distilled in 1996 at Guyana's Diamond distillery, independently bottled by Romdeluxe. Aged 25 years, this limited release offers complex aromas of dried fruit, plum, and molasses, alongside notes of licorice and chocolate. With an ABV of 49.2%, it maintains depth and flavor richness. While praised for its balance and integration of alcohol, some feel the mash might benefit from more character at its ABV. Overall, it symbolizes quality craftsmanship while offering an affordable entry into aged rums.

    Très bon rhum, assez surprenant malgré ses 51° il se laisse boire très facilement

    Great, intense, dark nose. Chocolatey and roasted. On the palate with plenty of power - but in a positive sense. Very well integrated alcohol. Super long finish.

    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.
