Top-Rum, der aber nicht ganz an das Niveau der anderen Velier Diamonds herankommt.

Unfassbar geiler und untypischen Guyana diamond. Klebstoff, dunkle Schokolade, geröstete Nüsse und eine ordentliche Ladung Zimt! Richtig geil😍♥️

Hat Ähnlichkeiten zum Diamond 1996 SVW. Aber einen Tick ruppiger.

We had a wonderful pure Diamond tasting yesterday and what a tasting. This one was a little disappointing. It was completely out of balance and heavily dominated by molasses and the roasting of the barrel.

Had I almost put after Barbados ... tasty Easy sipper, with delicious fruit, but also little complex. More maturity might have brought even more depth, and the profile is also not completely mine Overall a very good rum, but falls short of expectations. For me!

Tropically matured, Diamond goes in a slightly different direction than what I'm usually used to from Demerara. Here, glue and polish tend to dominate at the outset in a delightful interplay with marzipan, orange peel, dried fruit, clove, spice. Unfortunately, like the '98 CBH, this one swings into more herbal licorice notes, which after various exchanges seems to be something only I notice. You can define it however you like, at any rate, this unfortunately bothers me a bit. Overall, however, this is a very good rum here

Une belle sélection. Dans la gourmandise un peu sombre. Les fruits sont là mais assez en retrait tout de même. En comparaison directe avec le Enmore 1996 de DDL il est un poil en dessous.

Etwas eleganter als der 1996er, nicht so brachial, dezent fruchtiger, Alkohol ist optimal eingebunden

for a diamond metal column still, very superior and impressive; but…for the price…, It's totally not worth buying. It's a role model and milestone, but give DDL him some time, it could present more “high qualitys”, something better, more popular and more cheap. just wait
