    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this classic Diamond Versailles from Cadenhead’s for rich chocolate and licorice layered with roasted wood, nuts, and dried fruit. Warm, oily texture leads to a long, dry finish with anise and a hint of caramel. Distilled in 2012 and aged 12 years at 55%. A few note a sharp nose alcohol, but overall value and flavor win strong approval across 10 reviews.

    #5666 14.09.2025 Tasting in Copenhagen with good friends. Nose Medium intense, fresh, wood, roasted, dried fruit, light pencil shavings, light plum, spice, light anise. Palate Warm, wood, roasted, oily, light polish, light pencil shavings, light plum, citrus, light anise, faint chocolate. Finish Long, oily, wood, dried fruit, anise, light herbal, light chocolate. Price to quality is very good in my mind.

    A really good Versaille. You get what you expect from both the nose and the taste. Nice chocolate notes, some licorice, very light lead pencil and slightly bittersweet. Caramel comes out nicely in the finish. Really very good. However, it is a shame that the alcohol is not better integrated. The excellent PLV is also convincing

    Classic great Daimond Versailles at a great price! The alcohol is clearly perceptible and very pungent on the nose, but this subsides on the palate. All the usual flavors come through from start to finish. The finish is long, dark chocolate, coffee, very dry, but delicious 🤤

    Very good tasty Diamond Versailles Still 😋. Chocolat, rosted nuts, peanuts, toffee and licorice.
