“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.”

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