Relaxed Diamond. The dilution takes some of the soul out of it, otherwise it would be a real killer rum.
Incredible Diamond profile. Its only weakness is dilution which is not perfectly executed (alcohol pic). Besides this, clearly my favourite kind of rum 💘
Very tasty and pleasant rum. Umami in the mouth, full and yet very balanced. I like it very much. Wood and old molasses notes in the form of licorice. Overall a little too thin for a higher rating.
Why did they have to dilute this rum so much? The sweetness of caramel and milk chocolate is a little too dominant, along with vanilla, coffee and spices... unfortunately it remains a little too sweet, it simply lacks expressiveness - and even if I can only assume the positive influence, of course, a few more percentages would have been good for the distillate.
