A rum that ran with me for a long time something under the radar - but that does not do justice to the bottling. The Marque of Diamond is quite recognizable thanks to the dominant licorice notes. In my eyes, clearly the best Demerara blend of Velier.

I am impressed! I have not had the rum in the glass for a long time. Meanwhile, I like it even better. Wonderfully complex blend. Currently I feel more Diamond with the typical glue note, molasses, wood, dark dry fruits, less Versailles notes.

I only have one comment on the nose for this one and that's WOW. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes and the nose is a crazy explosion of flavours not there when you poor the glass. I worried that the palate wouldn't be able to keep up with such a rich nose, but that wasn't the case. The palate is wonderful and very well balanced. The alcohol has been so well integrated that you don't need water, some may want a drop or two, but a wonderful palate overall. The finish is long and has a minty coffee note to it and it just keeps on lingering. Try to leave the glass for the next day nose it!

Very stark aged, deep and heavy Demerara blend. The rum is more on the spicy, barrel and overall tart side. There is hardly any fruit on the nose, some prune in the background. Sweetness is also just absent, if at all in the form of strongly burnt brown sugar. Otherwise, there is a lot of freshly roasted coffee, licorice, roasted aromas, leather, tobacco and herbs. Still some furniture polish in the background. In the mouth heavy, full-bodied, oily, sweet. Much rounder than still in the nose, a bit more fruit, lots of molasses, balanced spice. Very horny rum, I like exceedingly well
