    Deep, dark Demerara comfort
    Who is this rum for?

    Not really suitable for

    Those seeking cask‑strength intensity or very funky, ester‑heavy rums; drinkers who dislike pronounced molasses sweetness.

    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.
