Diamond El Dorado Rare Collection <SVW>DLR 1998

Very nice adhesive nose. Complex yet light on the palate. The perfect "velier saver" 😉

Amazingly close to the Velier Demeraras and thus at a very high level. Great rum and a real PLV secret tip.

my absolute Diamond reference!🤤for me the best Guyana Rum I've ever had. here goes in liquid form the sun rises. really nice sipper in the high end range! the thing is drinkable pineapple banana jam with a nice spice, Ordentlich glue and ester and just really great cinema! I am absolutely thrilled and could spend the whole evening with this drop. Really nice drop!For me on a par with uitvlugt ULR!

A wonderful tropical ripened Demerara with lots of coconut. Beautiful nose, you can smell it forever. The alcohol is very well integrated, perhaps not quite as complex. The cask probably saw caramel in some form, very oily, dark and full-bodied.Another alternative from the underrated El Dorado Rare Collection. No idea why this one is still available, I've been saving up for it anyway.

Wonderful Diamond, which joins Albion and Skeldon at the top of the El Dorado Rare Collection. Even compared to Velier, this bottling has nothing to hide and turns out to be a real PLV cracker.

High-end sipper. Lots of nail polish remover and glue in the nose, lots of milk chocolate, dried fruits, very light dill and something pliziges. Very clean flavor profile. Soft but full bodied. The profiles you can expect when it says Diamond are very different and versatile, fun. This one reminds me a lot of a NY or FS. A lot of fun.

The nose is beguiling...I could sniff it for hours, It loses a little on the palate...I miss the depth. The finish is medium long with a pleasant bitterness! This is another successful rare cask bottling from El Dorado! Edit: In today's tasting, I increased the score by 0.2 points, as I now find it much more complex

One of (if not the) best Diamond I've tried so far... Incredibly complex nose some ester 🫨🫨Fruity chocolate ...Nutty nougat... simply awesome . Super oily on the palate with lots of chocolate, nougat and dark fruit ... beautifully spicy and round . Really, really good stuff.

Can absolutely keep up with the Diamonds from Velier!

Compared to other rums from the ED Rare Collection, the nose of this Diamond is more in the direction of spice (vanilla), citrus fruit and coconut, herbs (mint) and glue/varnish, not forgetting the typical roasted aromas and chocolate. In the mouth, tart fruits, herbs, wood and spices, very complex and dry! Quite good, but not as convincing as an Albion or Skeldon.

Edit Franconian Tasting Gang Well, as they say, it doesn't really knock my socks off. I don't think it's bad, but the finish is a bit disappointing. Maybe a bad day, I'll have another look at it soon.

Another great El Dorado rare collection rum! I see a lot of reviews comparing this with Velier Demeraras which is great, Maybe I'm not missing out on that much by not having been lucky enough to have tried any of them😄. Complex, heavy and deep for me. Dark Chocoate, fruits and spicy. A great nose with a medium length finish. All the notes of a great Demerara.

Hallelujah. For me, by far the best of the ED Rare Collection (ahead of Albion and EHP 96). Elegant. Glue galore, fruity, delicious wood maturity. Nose unearthly good. Very nice bitterness on the palate. Indeed, not far from Velier level. Edit: In a direct comparison against the other Column Kings in the ED Rare Collection, clear winner for me. Followed by EHP 96, then Albion, then Skeldon

Completely tropically stored - and you can taste that simply also. Can easily compete in quality with Veliers, although much, much cheaper. And the crazy thing is: You can still buy it on the first market! Some things you probably do not have to understand ... Therefore: Don't think about it, just enjoy! Tropics concentrated in a glass. 😋
