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 😊
In contrast to the CBH 98 Diamond, it is much tamer, milder and rounder. Milk chocolate, cinnamon, allspice, mint leaves and dried raisins and dates with cinnamon. Extremely deliciously balanced and complex. However, the CBH is much more "on the nose" and much more complex and fuller than this one. However, I'm complaining at a high level, this really is a great Diamond!
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.
Great nose! Needs a little time to breathe, but unfolds superbly. Creamy, spicy and intense on the palate. However, it lacks the complexity of its CBH sister cask for a top rating.
