Diamond Reserve White Rum Review: Simple but pure...
...and the first review on the net, rather a mystery. I have a sneaking suspicion that these might be rather old bottles, but then again I await being rightfully corrected.
As a pre-review, let's say I'm not particularly impressed. I suspect the Diamond Reserve White Rum - at just $8.95 with a very ordinary bottle, screw cap and cheesy cheep label featuring, yup, a pirate ship and treasure chest (urp) - may have been a mass produced rum for the uneducated hoi polloi.
Yes, there's a hint of banana, anisette, touch of lemon and WTF, asparagus (?) - all of which are mere hints and somewhat blurred by a notable alcohol prickle. Still it IS sugar free at an accurate zero grams on the sugar test. My problem is simple: having had Appleton's and Myers's far superior pot stilled products, the Diamond Estate falls notably short.
I'd not buy another, even at a lousy $8.95, though it may compete well with the Batshit equivalent.
