Incredible Diamond profile. Its only weakness is dilution which is not perfectly executed (alcohol pic). Besides this, clearly my favourite kind of rum 💘

Beautiful dark aromas with a slight freshness that resonates in the background to burnt muscovado sugar. Unfortunately, a bit thin.

The nose is complex and greedy. Sweet, dried, ripe fruits are at the head of the pack. We find oranges, prunes, raisins, dates ... But other fresher fruits are also part: cherry-raspberry. All completed by a nice dose of solvent varnish that make this olfactory bouquet more than interesting. In the mouth, there is some pep but the alcohol is perfectly integrated. It's less fruity than the nose, but it's quite greedy thanks to the caramel and coconut notes. Some oak pushes from the shoulders into the pack and the tobacco gets a little acceleration. The finish is nice, long and dry on chocolate/coffee. My goodness, it is really concentrated this Dark Demerara, and it does not leave indifferent at all (in a good way!).

Entspannter Diamond. Die Verdünnung nimmt ihm aber leider die Seele. 😬

Klasse Nase. Dabei bleibt es aber auch.

Too bad that the Diamond was diluted! Taste-wise, I like the Corman a little better than the Rome de luxe 2 batch. It is very nicely balanced and easy sipping due to the dilution.

Un rhum agréable et sympathique mais qui manque un peu de caractère pour moi
