Distilia Diamond The Last Cask - Tiger, Artist (Yu Chuan) 2003 19yr 59,1%

"Very good Diamond, has everything you can expect from such a beer. I find it very accessible and delicious, almost too drinkable. Distilia has once again done everything right with this bottling and the price is also reasonable. But it's still not enough for the top group."

"Very good Diamond, with not exuberant molasses. Nice fruity sweetness. Fun to drink!"

"Very accessible Diamond on the nose and palate. Rather bright profile with wood, dried fruit, burnt sugar, orange peel and coffee. Meets my taste, but is not outstanding. However, I like to drink the second half of the sample ..."

"8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite rigid with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, coffee, caramel, nuts and some orange peel, varnish. On aeration, dried fruits with apricots arise, some spice with vanilla, an orange, some vegetal notes and a chocolate. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is pleasant with dried fruits like apricots, raisins and roasted, spicy wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, marzipan, leather, as the molasses is earthy and dark with black tea.Some resting helps notes like nuts, chocolate, as the rum becomes creamy, to arise. There are dried figs, red fruits and citrus from fruits, some menthol, the wood becomes resinous a bit. 8,5:The finish is long,as the wood is dry, spicy and roasted, in the end perhaps charred with nuts, chocolate, coffee. The fruits are dried and citrusy, as the molasses is a bit vegetal."

"Ordentlicher 2003er Diamond vom Abfüller Distilia. Angenehme fruchtige Süße, gebrannter Zucker, etwas Holz, Schokolade und Kaffee. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Den kann man gut trinken, auch wenn er nicht lange Erinnerung bleiben wird."

"What a delight. Perfectly balanced alcohol, vanilla, leather, a hint of citrus, lots of caramel, it's just an almost perfect beverage. I loved it. Great length. My only regret is that I only had 3cl, as a bottle would have made me very happy."

"To je jiné kafe než RdL 50, které jsem měl před chvílí. Barva skoro jako fernet a vůně hezky výrazná. Plno karamelu, sušeného ovoce a trochou kávy, čokolády a ořechů. Chuť vyloženě po datlích s karamelem a v závěru pražené tóny, káva, čokoláda. Moc povedené."

"Die Farbe ist kräftig und das Aroma ist schön und unverwechselbar. Voller Karamell, getrockneten Früchten und ein bisschen Kaffee, Schokolade und Nüssen. Der Geschmack ist geradezu dattelig mit Karamell- und Röstnoten, Kaffee und Schokolade im Abgang. Nicht schlecht, aber alkohol könnte brsser eingebunden sein."
