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.

Un Dieu parmi les rhums de l’Olympe. Malgré le vieillissement, ce Diamond a conservé beaucoup d’arômes et a dû clairement se bonnifier au fur et à mesure. On retrouve au nez des arômes très gourmands, tournés sur le sucre Demerara, les épices, un boisé noble qui n’est pas envahissant, des fruits exotiques et du tabac. La noisette, la colle, le café moka, le chocolat et les notes de toffee nous plongent vers un univers très équilibré, complexe et séduisant. L’attaque en bouche est d’une souplesse remarquable. Très épicée (piment, réglisse, anis, cannelle, vanille, herbes aromatiques), sombre (chocolat noir, noisette grillée, café, tabac, cuir et notes rôties) et à la fois fruitée (fruits exotiques et secs) et gourmande (crème au caramel), la bouche offre un festival gustatif impressionnant qui éveille les sens. L’alcool est très bien intégré, les saveurs très agréables, la profondeur et la complexité sont présentes. Le bois n’a pas pris le dessus sur les saveurs. On a clairement affaire à un grand rhum. La finale, très longue, présente une certaine amertume avec le chocolat noir, des notes chaudes d’épices, le café, le cuir, la noisette et le tabac. Les fruits tropicaux (ananas, noix de coco) sont plus en retrait. Un rhum extraordinaire qui mérite une place au panthéon, aussi bien pour sa qualité que sa malheureuse spéculation.

We had a wonderful pure Diamond tasting yesterday and what a tasting. This one was the piece de resistance and we all found the it needed a bit of water to call hither all the flavours. Without water it came on like something was missing. A very rare and extremely expensive bottle.

I’m very happy to have sampled one of my many unicorns. There are a lot of flavors present in this rum, the nose and mouth are excellent. But there is a bitterness that is a little deranging. This is a very high end rum that isn’t worth what one would have to pay for a bottle today though.
