Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a wonderful rum in my mind. The pricing puts this one in a good spot. The ABV has been very well integrated and there is a good balance with the dryness. Lightly fruity with vanilla and smoky wood. What I noticed while it rested was that the nose came at me though sitting on my couch while the tumbler was on the table. Very fresh rum.
Review by Agricoler
Toller Daily Sipper!!! Richtig frisch fruchtig vanillig allerdings für mich nach Verdünnung deutlich besser und smootiger. Kann man durchaus empfehlen für den Preis. Hab dennauch ungewöhnlicherweise mal in den Daiquri echt auch gut.
Review by DosenZorn
Tasted as a 2cl sample. For a 13-year-old rum, the very light color irritated me a little. I would have thought that after all this time, the color would be completely different. Wonderful smell of freshly mown grass combined with vanilla, yellow stone fruit and banana. Super pleasant nose. The taste was a completely different story. It's crazy how far apart smell and taste are. Vanilla here too, but only very minimally fruity, instead wood with a pleasant bitterness, tar and smoke, but on a pleasant scale. I have to say that of the TRCs I've tried so far, this is almost my favorite, even though I'm usually more of a fan of fruity Jamaicans and Savanna.
Review by Tobin
Certainly not a relaxed drop. Very fruity on the nose (banana, etc.), but then the complete opposite on the palate (spicy, biting, dirty), also on the finish... But then suddenly a light fruity note comes out of nowhere.
Review by Thunderbird
This one is more accessible and not quite as edgy as the 2008!This fits much better and already rather meets my taste!
Review by Daniel
Nase: Deutlich alkoholisch, Zitrusfrüchte und jede Menge Würze. Noten von Banane und Vanille ergänzen. Gaumen: scharf zu Beginn, Alkohol sehr präsent. Kirsche, Würze und Holz mit einer Portion Pfeffer. Abgang: Bitter und holzig Fazit: Trotz der längeren Lagerzeit nicht deutlich milder oder runder als der 9jährige aus Guyana. Es geht deutlich harmonischer.
Review by Murphy
Jung und wild. Etwas scharf. Steigt ordentlich in die Nase, aber nicht so sehr wie Wasabi 😬. Insgesamt lecker, aber ich mag den Diamond-Charakter auch sehr gern. PLV auf jeden Fall ok zum Ausgabepreis von unter 50€.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
A rather austere Diamond (Versailles Still). Light in wood. Heavy in spirit. Definitely needs some time to open up. Everything is in place but it really lacks complexity. It could do with just a hint of cask influence. Other than that it's a very honest drop. No fuzz. Straight forward.
