Corman Collins Diamond CRHUM No. 1 1996
">Deep mahogany in the glass, this one a much-reunk with the classic Diamond oak profile — raisin, prune, treacle, milk coffee and dark chocolate. The nose promises more than the palate deldelivers: reduced to 41.7%, the mid-nineties character is there but softened, with caramel sweetness and licorice riding a light, mild body. Pleasant sipping, if you don't ask it for intensity.

- Easy everyday sipper

How does Corman Collins Diamond CRHUM No. 1 1996 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Mild, easy-drinking Diamond softened by low proof Members agree the Diamond DNA is intact but the reduction thins it out — very mild and short on the palate. Great as an easy everyday Guyanese, outgunned in a serious tasting.

Review by Johannes
Ich mag das Diamond-Profil eigentlich sehr gerne. Leider fehlt es hier an Komplexität, wahrscheinlich auch aufgrund des niedrigen ABV. Am Gaumen viel Melasse und Lakritz, was etwas eindimensional wirkt.
Review by Antoine Asaro
Atypical Diamond 1996 because of the huge reduction, but working well. A very nice everyday Guyanese that everyone could enjoy, no matter if you are geek or not
Review by Andi
Irgendwie etwas dünn, unkomplex, weißt aber trotzdem das typische Guyana Profil auf.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Eigentlich genau mein Geschmack. Aber Geschmack allein reicht nicht, sondern für mich zählt mindestens auch Intensität. Aber dies ist ein sehr, sehr milder Vertreter. Für mich genau richtig für einen unspektakulären Abend an einer netten Hotelbar, aber in einem Crosstasting mit anderen Rums wäre er wegen seiner Verdünnung hoffnungslos unterlegen. Wie ein zu sehr gestutzter Baum. Etwas schade, denn der Rum schmeckt wirklich ziemlich gut.
Review by Jakob
Sehr liebliche Nase, die tatsächlich etwas vom klassischen Diamond-Eichenprofil aus den 90er Jahren transportiert, wenngleich natürlich angesichts der Trinkstärke alles deutlich weniger komplex und verwoben daherkommt. Am Gaumen wird der Rum zwar nicht wässrig, aber er vermag trotzdem nicht mehr ganz mit der Nase mitzuhalten - es wartet viel Karamellsüsse, die den Rest des Profils aus dunkler Schokolade, Milchkaffee und Holz etwas überlagert. Angenehm zu trinken, aber gleichzeitig ohne den letzten Kick.
Review by Nivius
Schon lecjer, aber das ist ein Panana der nicht mal über 8 Punkte kommt in der Regel auch. Die 41% sind etwas dünn, das Diamondprifil schmeckt man aber noch raus und eine dezente Fruchtigkeit. Fast 300€ sind für das was man hier bekommt schon echt dreist - außer ich schmecke einfach nicht raus, was diesen Rum besonders macht - irgendwas erinnert mich nich entfernt an Zacapa, vieleicht dass er sehr mild ist, aber nicht besonders viel liefert, aber trotzdem gut schmeckt ? Für das aus meiner Sicht miserable Plv muss ich aber ordentlich Punktabzug geben - dafür bin ich sehr froh, eine Community zu haben, die das Verkosten von Samples ermöglicht.
