For experienced palates: a 60.4% Demerara that drinks like a Caroni-style powerhouse. Tar, rubber, hydrocarbons and industrial notes meet roasted nuts, dark spices, toasted wood and ripe fruits. Highly praised by RumX regulars.

Wow was für eine Granate. Danke danke danke Vincent. Glaube ich habe meinen neuen Favoriten von Diamond gefunden. Da brauch ich definitiv eine Flasche davon. Blind hätte ich auf Caroni getippt. Bin immer noch auf der Suche, aber die wird wohl leider ins leere laufen, wer die Chance hat sollte zugreifen. Eine wahre Erleuchtung

Das zweite Schwergewicht in diesem Vergleich. Und nach etwas Zeit und einigem Sippen bestätigt sich mein Ersteindruck. Das hier ist im Vergleich mit dem fullproof mein Favorit Gleich etwas zugänglicher begleitet die schöne Aprikose das ähnlich dreckige Profil hier bis zum Ende. Der geringere Alkoholgehalt ist hier wirklich eine gute Entscheidung. Toller Rum der wie sein Bruder ein Weilchen verbleibt. Und wieder einmal frag ich mich traurig warum kann man davon keine Flasche mehr kaufen.🙈 Probieren wenn ihr die Chance bekommt!

Caroni in disguise. Wonderful profile that integrates the tarry/glue/industrial notes with roasted nuts, leather and tropical fruits. Perfect harmony that shows different sides over time, long finish. Love it! Should have bought 2 more at release :(

9.0/10

Une grosse claque bien lourde, terreuse et épicée. Là, on n'est pas sur les fruits. On est bien collés au sol. C'est chaud et huileux, fumé, boisé. Le sucre est là pour apporter la touche de gourmandise qui fait du bien. C'est vraiment très bon. Édit : aussi agréable à sentir qu'à boire. Hyper agréable et gourmand.. Nécessite une bonne aération mais aussi une bonne montée en température. Il gagne alors en gourmandise.
