“Quite present bitter note, which is not surprising in view of 31 years of tropical maturation (per se already extremely extreme). Besides but concentrated Diamond power - top rum.”

“A stunning rum that is a privilege to taste in today's age! In fact this is the oldest vintage demerara I have tried to date. You can smell its tropical old age, musty, tobacco and wood which i enjoy! On the palate it's very complex and balanced, I'm getting more leather, but with some dark chocolate, a lot wood, and is a bit bitter which is slightly jarring. If you like old demeraras you will be in your happy place with this! I must say though, as much as I enjoy this, I still rate the younger diamonds better, I really appreciated the 1999 diamond <S> and I think it's better than this one. High praise though, this is still a ripping rum.”
