Velier Diamond <S>

"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...🤭"

"Awesome Diamond with a great licorice note. Tastes like from a cherry wood barrel. Deep and heavy. Long finish, alcohol perfectly integrated."

"Impressive Demerara profile with dark notes of leather, wood, spices but also dark and dried fruits. Insanely delicious! Extremely complex, multi-layered and oily with a long finish."

"Incredibly cool device! Dried fig, prune, aged balsamic vinegar, subtle mint and thyme, acacia honey, a little dark chocolate and some rum raisins... Epic! Probably one of the best Guyana rums I've ever tasted to date..."

"Heavy, dark with dried fruits. This is a real heavy weight out of the diamonds I had so far. I love this profil."

"A berry liquorice forward diamond. Very intense very lovely not the best but in the highest league of diamond. The sweetness in particular is very nice. Looses a bit at the finish. I really want more aftertaste. Retaste at Velier live, one point up!"

"Wow this is a wonderful rum! I don't want to let the fact that this is a unicorn rum make me over rate it but it really is stunning! The smell just leaped out of the glass at me, very intense. On the palate it is just lovely, this is how it all should be! A lovely dark sweetness, licorice, dark chocolate, fruits, leather, lovely oak without being bitter, this is close to perfection for me! Oh and the colour! Beautiful dark mahogany. Long and spicy finish. Well, for my first Velier Demerara I am impressed I hope it keeps up. This is the highest score I have awarded a rum to date, I think it's deserving😊"

"A dark demerara as I like them, with licorice, caramel, glue... for only 15 years, the cask has really left its mark on the rum! The nose is pure madness and the whole thing gluggles so easily. The myth of the demerara velier is not stolen: this is a great rum!"

"We had a wonderful pure Diamond tasting yesterday and what a tasting. Another big boom. This one with a great oak finger pointing at you without being too dominant. "

"Differs very clearly from the other Diamonds. Lots of licorice and molasses, more reminiscent of an old Demerara."

".... Stare Velier Demerara rumy je to nejlepsi, co v rumovem svete muzete ochutnat. Rumy zraly spise omylem nekolik let v tropech a nikdo obsah sudu nedoplnoval. Andelska dan byla 90% a vice, proto je chut obzvlaste plna a intenzivni. I kdyz se jedna o extra drahou zalezitost, doporucu alespon jednou v zivote ochutnat rum z teto serie."

"to start the holiday again a real highlight: great nose of dried date (as it comes in the morning in the fruit muesli), furniture polish, tobacco and also somehow a herbaceous-fresh note (chervil?). The palate picks up seamlessly: Raisins, leather, licorice root (which I noted as licorice), cocoa and a slight iodine note. Finishes very spicy with leather, coffee, old barrel. A great Demerara! Many thanks to Vienna for the sample!"
