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

“Un joli Diamond de 1996 sélectionné par Corman Collins, qui démarre sur un nez expressif et parfumé pour son voltage. Les fruits secs et exotiques virevoltent avec les notes boisées, épicées (vanille, réglisse, clou de girofle) et sombres (cuir, chocolat, cacao, café) du style Demerara. La lourdeur des arômes fruités et sucrés (caramel, sucre Demerara) et le voile de fraîcheur donnent le sentiment d’un rhum gourmand et riche après aération. Une belle première approche. En bouche, on retrouve un rhum étonnamment vif malgré la dilution notable. Raisins secs et pruneaux s’allient avec le chocolat, le café, le cuir, les noix, le côté fumé, boisé et les épices (réglisse, vanille) pour donner du corps au rhum au palais. C’est gourmand, mais aussi délicat et extrêmement gouleyant. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est longue, sombre, amère mais collante, presque visqueuse, tapissant le palais de notes de fruits noirs et de fruits secs, de notes sombres et sucrées, caractéristiques du style Demerara. Un rhum de grande classe, fin, complexe et gouleyant à souhait.”

“Tolle Nase. Hervorragendes Profil, aber leider sehr schwach auf der Brust. Mit 5-8% mehr wäre hier sicher eine Spitzennote möglich gewesen. Unglaublich rund und ausgewogen, im Abgang gar komplex. Für das Alter ein angemessenes PLV.”
