The goal? To offer you, the rum connoisseur, a place where you can choose with confidence—without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
The flavorful outlier among the Velier diamonds - but by no means in a negative sense. Those who like licorice and leather notes in Demerara will find what they are looking for here. I personally like the profile very much and catapults the bottling consequently also in the top range. No classic Diamond essence, rather 70s Demerara notes with tart, heavy sweetness. An absolutely outstanding release.
Un bellissimo esperimento con invecchiamento in botti carbonizzate! Il risultato è un Diamond meno goloso ma con più note di erbe,tabacco e barile! I suoi tratti tipici comunque li mantiene sempre ed è tutto perfettamente in equilibrio!
Really cool part! The rusty Specknoten reminiscent of a Damoiseau. Real surprise!
This and no other is what a classic Demerara should taste like!The color a madness.An old dresser, freshly embedded, oak and licorice. Bacon! Dark, heavy and oily.I almost took it as an after shave...🤭
