Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great rum especially when thinking about the age. The nose is that of a full bodied rum with fruit, wood and spices trailed by some molasses. I'd go as far as saying that the nose is sweet as well. The palate is sweet, complex, well balanced and has a full body with wood, fruit and spices, as well as licorice and chocolate trailing behind. The finish is long and fruity with wood and spice.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
The thing I like most about this mix is that at the 'beginning you immediately find the heaviness of PM then as time goes by is you taste it you feel more and more the more caramelized and fruity part of Diamond!Surely it is a very complex rum that will appeal to few people!But I like this rum very much!
Review by Johannes
After a long time I have it now times again in the glass and am thrilled. A wonderful mix of red fruits, molasses, wood, licorice and tobacco!
Review by Serge
Great blend ... on the nose a tightly packed combination of heavy tropical PM profile with fine Diamond. On the palate, first the PM and then slowly the Diamond joins in. Rather not my favorite of the Velier Demeraras I've tasted so far - but still a top rum. Add on second tasting: somewhat demanding and tiring. Not bad, by any means, but not an easy feel good rum. Or easy sipper as some would say
Review by Stefan L
A rare experience and I like it.
Review by DomM
Very powerful blend. The PM notes in combination with the (coloured) Diamond profile provides a nose heavy with anise/liquorice and coffee. Rich and very heavy. Similar showing on the palate. Quite some wood and definitely on the darker side of Demerara profiles. This is very nice and intense, yet I‘m missing a bit elegance in the picture for a better score. Cheers Serge for this treat :)
Review by Jarek
Delicious, heavy and dark. On the nose, dried fruit on burnt sugar, spices, liquorice, wood and mocha. Also on the spicy and roasted side on the palate and in the finish. I like it very much.
Review by Mc Pirate
Characteristic nose of a great rum with character and a powerful mouthfeel, very dry on the attack and turns out to be very complex, powerful with notes of leather and candied prunes. A rum for connoisseurs!
