For a top rating, it is a tad too floral for me. But plays in the Champions League!

Un nez de club anglais avec du fumé, du bois patiné et du vieux cuir. Une bouche qui une fois passé la morsure de l’alcool, révèle une complexité inouïe ! La bouche est entièrement tapissée de saveurs. Une merveille ! Une finale infinie et un verre vide qui est si complexe qu’on peut penser à un parfum. Merci Thomas pour le sample. Ma plus belle expérience de rhum à ce jour.

Aaaaaaauuuuuugggggghhhh!!!!In the nose caramel, dried fruit, spices and the perfect load of oak. Extremely layered, powerful, complex yet balanced and quaffable.🍹In the mouth, the hammer! Bold caramel, dried apricot, licorice, pepper, etc. Caramelized in the finish (whatever that means...)SVW at it's best. This is what the perfect rum tastes like to me. Aaaahhhhh, I'll come again, my wife will be jealous....

We had a wonderful pure Diamond tasting yesterday and what a tasting. Boom, this is how you make a good rum that has a finish lasting a few weeks. Adding a bit of water settled the alcohol heat and released the true nature and flavours.

Initially a hint of coconut, then beguiling dark cherry, sweet wood notes, honeycomb, light fresh tangerine. Great spicy nose.On the palate this nice mix of spice and wood continues along with sweet cherry tangerine. I even think I taste a bit of lychee.Wonderful rum.
