What a positive surprise.....So a Diamond I had not yet in the glass! I can only agree with the previous tasters... it comes along like a dirty Caroni... delicate dark fruit notes and burnt demerara sugar is also perceptible!A great rum, especially if you consider the PLV thereby!Today in the RumX calendar, Day20:And again fully fallen into the trap...was sure to have a Caroni in the glass

RumX Advent 20.12.22Geile blind tasting. Had guessed the Caroni Replica.alcohol very well integrated. From Demerara I taste and smell nothing. Unlike the bottlings of Le Gus't where yet still sweetness and other influences are tasty, I find here full broadside Caroni. Delicious. Otherwise, you spend several hundred for something like this.

#20th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: tar, rubber, woody, smoky, oak, roasted Mouth: tar, rubber, smoky, leather, a bit thin Finish: medium, woody, roasted, barrel notes, tar, tannins, dark chocolate Uuuups. This is a good one. 🤪A good demerara diamond dressed up as a Caroni 😏 very delicious, with a small body. The alcohol is integrated very well. The initial price-to-value was awesome Looks like a straight Caroni ca.55 % 99/00

Wow! Damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet, extrem süffig, komplex und lecker. Könnte blind locker als 98er Caroni durchgehen, Sherry Finish bringt eine schöne, cremige süße dazu ohne zu dominant zu sein. Alkohol ist perfekt integriert! Insgesamt wirklich ein sehr gelungener Rum mit einem ausgezeichneten Preis Leistungs Verhältnis! Hätte hier wirklich gerne eine Flasche gehabt...

Demerara? Caroni? We are somewhere in between, but those who like both will find an extremely exciting bottling here. The dirty Caroni notes are even quite dominant and present themselves at the forefront, especially on the palate, there is tar and rubber full here. In addition, the heavy Demerara sweetness - that definitely gives a few subjective sympathy points from me.

Un très bon Demerara, très trompeur car il fait clairement penser à un Caroni. Le nez commence avec ces notes empyreumatiques, très fumé, caoutchouteux et avec ces notes de bitume. Viennent ensuite les notes sucrées, chocolatées, les épices douces (vanille, muscade) qui se mêlent aux noisettes, au caramel, au bois et aux fruits secs et tropicaux. Un nez très complet et gourmand. En bouche, l’attaque est vive, intense mais très aromatique. Le caoutchouc et le goudron laisse présager un Caroni encore une fois, mais les fruits tropicaux, la noisette et le chocolat apportent la gourmandise typique de Demerara. L’alcool est présent mais très bien intégré (et particulier au nez). La finale est chaude, épicée et fumée, voir terpénique, mais laisse toujours ces notes sucrées, boisées et chocolatées. Elle est cependant légèrement courte par rapport à ce qu’il pouvait prétendre au nez et en bouche. Un profil complexe et expressif, vraiment intéressant et original et qui se laisse bien boire.

I like it extraordinarily well. Really very, very Caroni. Also somehow reminds of dirty Armagnacs. Demerara characteristics actually rather quiet and in the background. Sherry does not interfere at all but fits like a glove. Still cool. More of this please. It would really be a great trap for a blind tasting.

RumXmas 2022, blind: First impression, from the last drops in the sample bottle: Caroni, without a doubt. Ok, what a mindfuck 😅 Caroni flavors clearly present, dirty rubbery diesel fruit. Never had a Diamond like this in the glass. 67% but alcohol is extremely well integrated. Even my girlfriend said it was smooth 🤯 What a banger! 😍Added it to my wishlist 😁

Amazingly impressive rum! Great complexity with a blend of bourbon, Caroni 98 and perhaps minimal PX Cask. Really successful!

RumX Adventskalender 20.12.22: Starke Caroni-Vibes, kombiniert mit einer sehr hohen Intensität. Alkohol in Summe trotzdem nicht sehr gut eingebunden, Abgang zudem recht kurz, daher keine höhere Wertung.
