User reviews highlight a complex aroma of raisin, woody undertones, and licorice, with tasting notes revealing a rich woody, chocolate, and nutty character. Despite some mentions of emerging tannins and bitterness, the rum is celebrated for its balanced sweetness and depth. It draws comparisons to armagnac, with a distinctive mix of chocolate and caramel flavors. This release holds its own against its sibling CBH barrel, renowned for its roundness and exquisite finish.

    If you take all of the rums in the El Dorado Rare Collection, then this one is the bottom one. Not saying it's bad though, it's still a really good zip 😊

    Im Crosstasting zum CBH ist er zwar deutlich zahmer und nicht so komplex, aber insgesamt von einer eleganten angenehmen und exquisiten Aromenvielfalt die das locker ausgleicht! Für mich sind sie gleichwertig, jeder auf seiner Art.

    Wunderschöner Diamond der meines Erachtens auch etwas zu niedrig bewertet ist. Reichhaltige Nase auf Klebstoff-Rosinen Basis mit viel Holz, Schokolade, kandierten Früchten ein paar gebrannten Mandeln und ganz leicht Kokos. Am Gaumen dann auch wieder sehr lecker und eine angenehme Bitterkeit im Abgang. Ähnlich zum CBH aber mehr Schonolade und Karamell und weniger Kleber und Kokos – eigentlich wie ein CBH mit nem Schuss Albion

    Franconian Rum Tasting Gang 19.04.2024 Verkostet zusammen mit dem El Dorado Diamond <SVW> CBH RX5934. Die Verwandtschaft ist eindeutig, aber der DMD mit weniger Klebstoff und mehr Schokolade. Der CBH neben Klebstoff auch mehr Kokos. Insgesamt für mich ein Kopf an Kopf Rennen. DMD vielleicht etwas schneller zugänglich, CBH etwas eleganter.
