Heavy sweetness, spice, wood, coffee, roasted nuts - nice Diamond profile and one of the better ones from 2003 in the typical column-still style.
Noch ein Diamond, wieder im Vergleich mit dem Elisabeth Yard 2003. Das Muster der bisherigen Verkostungen bleibt gleich. Der EY ist viel präsenter, dieser VM harmonischer und weicher. Ich würde sagen die Nase des VM ist bisher dem EY am ähnlichsten, denn ein Hauch von dessen Harzigkeit lässt sich erkennen. Die Nase bietet ansonsten das gewohnte Profil von dunklem Karamell und Röstaromen, Nüsse und auch ein paar der Früchte (getrocknete Mango), die dem 1996er Diamond von Two Flags komplett gefehlt haben. Die Nase ist zwar zart, aber sehr schön! Auch im Mund sind sich die beiden Rums ähnlicher als die der vorigen Verkostungen. Karamell, Röstaromen, Kaffee, Gewürze aber auch wieder eine schöne Frucht mit gut eingebundenen Säure - Orangenschale und Grapefruit und ein Hauch tropische Früchte. Der Abgang ist sehr weich und etwas unscheinbar - vielleicht die größte Schwäche des Rums. Bisher der beste 2003er Diamond. Ein echtes Highlight aus diesem Batch. Der EY ist insgesamt intensiver, der VM glänzt durch eine fantastische Balance und Drinkablity bei angenehmer Komplexität. Super Rum!
This is a pretty good rum as well and it should rest for at least 15 nminutes in my mind to release all the flavours. The nose has roasted wood and fruit from the start trailed by vanilla and an earthy note. The palate is roasted wood and dried fruits, chocolate and coffee trailed by caramel and vanilla. The finish is long with roasted wood and dried fruit.
