“Great nose with lots of caramel, vanilla sweetness, oak wood, some coffee, dried fruit...the rum is extremely helped by a slightly longer time in the glass, a very pleasant aroma spectrum opens up on the palate with increasing oxidation. Caramel and vanilla provide a pleasant sweetness, along with woody notes, a pleasant spiciness and dried fruit again. Slightly fresher and spicier than the other Diamond releases of the vintage, compared to the tropically aged releases with less opulent aromas from the oak barrel. The DNA of the '96 Diamonds is recognizable, with a more delicate character than many of its sister releases from the recent past. I needed some time to get to grips with the rum, but in direct comparison with other recent 1996 Diamond releases in particular, I recognize some exciting and, in a positive sense, independent notes in this bottling.”

“Man erkennt schon irgendwie die Diamond-DNA, aber in sehr abgemilderter, weichgespülter Form. Ich hätte mir mehr Komplexität erwartet.”

“Rum piacevolissimo, elegante e di gran qualità. Considerato il lungo invecchiamento mi sarei aspettato però una maggiore complessità. In ogni caso si tratta di un rum di grande qualità da provare assolutamente.”
