How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise the elegant, discreet sherry touch and a lovely nose of tropical and candied fruits with gingerbread and wood. The 1998 Diamond, aged 18 years at 45%, sips soft, smooth and balanced, showing toffee, honey and a hint of chocolate. A gentle Demerara many recommend as a starter, though some find the palate light with a short finish. A limited release of 312 bottles.

Dommage la réduction casse la longueur car c’est très bon sinon un bonbon d’épices.
The Sherry cask's influence is very discreet and elegant here. Slightly nutty in the nose, a little rancio in the empty glass before it gets completly mild butter toffee with a picogramm of salt, Yummi!. The palate delivers toffee, Capuccino, chocolate, salted liquorice/burnt sugar with a fennel/anise mix also but more in the background making this Diamond very round. You also get the european oak's spices that brings an herbal tingling edge. The whole being well balanced till the medium finish that i find very consistent despite the reduction. A solid starter for a Demerara line-up.
23.02.2019 A nice afternoon and evening with friends both new and old. Notes. Medium dark in colour. Nose: fresh, wood, dried fruit, light caramel. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, round, dried fruit, caramel, light licorice. Finish: medium long, medium dry, wood, raisin, light chocolate.
This is a solid rum to start your demerara adventure. Very lovely nose with a good impact of the sherry barrel. In mouth it’s very soft, thin, diluted, uncomplex and unspectacular. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is delicious but short Price to value is actually very bad.
