What surprises people is how green and fresh this Diamond pot-still gets on the palate — grassy herbs, green banana and a hint of olive before a smoky, roasted wood finish takes over. There's varnish, anise and prune on the nose too. One catch: give it time in the glass or the 58% bites. A whisky-cask note runs through it that most tasters didn't mind.
The community says- Fresh herbal palate
- Long smoky finish
- But: Alcohol bite if rushed

Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Most helpful positive review
I sensed nuances that I was not expecting. On the nose very light esters and vegetal notes (olive?) and as in the flavor a scent of stone pine (balsamic note) which is used to flavor Italian grappas. In the mouth it is dry and slightly toasted with notes of chocolate. Finish not too long and ending with lychee (grape).A great rum full of aromas that in a tasting will greatly entertain.

Most concise, in addition to a beautifully fruity flavor, are intense varnish and roasted/woody aromas in the finish at the same time.
Review by Boletus
This uncolored rum from the Versailles still comes across surprisingly fresh and vegetal on the palate, with green banana, herbs like parsley and chervil, and a hint of olive, before the roast command takes over in the finish with a touch of wood smoke. I don't find the whisky influence disturbing here, but every now and then a certain alcoholic sharpness comes through, which causes small deductions. Otherwise really good!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum that needs to rest for a while or the alcohol will bite and kind of destroy the experience. Once rested the nose is fruity with varnish and anise. There is a very light smoky note once rested. The palate is warm and lightly dry with fruit, varnish, anise and a bit more smoke than on the nose. The finish is long and warm with dried fruit and smoky wood.
Review by Nicofr
A pretty indulgent rum, the alcohol is quite present at first but just let it rest a bit for the fruity and honeyed aromas to reveal themselves. Slightly herbal/eucalyptus at the finish.
Review by primus
A powerful drop, the distillery is clearly recognizable. The whisky notes that the cask brings with it cannot be hidden. For me, not for every day, but it goes very well with a cigar.
Review by passlemix
Delicious, very balanced. A very classic profile for a rather dry diamond without flaws. Prunes, figs, raisins.
