“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.”

“Compared to other rums from the ED Rare Collection, the nose of this Diamond is more in the direction of spice (vanilla), citrus, herbs (mint) and glue, not missing the typical roasted aromas and chocolate. In the mouth tart fruits, herbs, wood and spices, very complex and dry! Pretty good, but not as good as the ED 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. 😋”

“The nose is beguiling...I could sniff it for hours, on the palate it loses minimal...there I lack the depth. The finish is medium long with a pleasant bitterness! This is once again a successful Rare Cask bottling of El Dorado!”

“I find this rum excellent. The nose is fantastic for those who like dark demerara. The attack in mouth is warm, sticky! We can nevertheless regret its length, a bit short. Second passage: it is really very good, as good as the Skeldon and the Albion of the same brand, it just depends on personal tastes.”

“An absolutely remarkable Diamond. The nose starts in the best way with a hint of glue, then fruit in spades (tropical, citrus), minty freshness, slightly toasted wood and caramelized sweetness with toffee. The palate is intense and complex, with incredible depth. The honeyed notes, the sweetness of the fruits (tropical fruits, pineapple and marmalade), the dark side of the Demerara profile (spices, wood, chocolate) and the freshness that emerges make it a superb profile. The finish is exquisite, long and pleasant on the same frame. A deep, complex and fantastic rum, still accessible, with an unbeatable price/quality ratio.”

“Second tasting today after the surprise by RumX at the Rumfest last year. Thanks Tim this time for the sample.nose first much coconut. But unlike Barbados or Belize instead of roasted notes here neat eucalyptus to it. Some licorice I also perceive. Then very complex on the palate. Wood influence is clear but hardly bitter here. Dry fruit, flattering spice. Nice deep profile only a little more length in the finish I would wish. But who wants to complain there 😋”

“Balancing the darkness of old Demerara with the traditional Barbados feel of coconut, caramel, cocoa and coffee toffee, accompanied by light tobacco, it is warm and cozy. An unforgettable experience, complex and powerful enough. I can't compare it to Velier's Diamond 1999 (too far away to recall), but it does a great job, with only a bit more tannic dryness than V's 1996 (which may cause a bit of discomfort) and a bit less of an order of flavors showing up in sequence, but have enough complexity. Gorgeous Diamond, Good Demerara. glad to buy this bottle”
