Now finally tasted it again in peace, as I had forgotten to rate it on the GRF and couldn't really remember it 😅 Very tasty and round bottling with well-integrated alcohol.

Trade fair evaluation. I really like it. Very round/accessible profile with spices, caramel, coconut, tropical and dried fruits and caramel. Alcohol is very well integrated. Pleasant sweetness.
Review by DomM
Little random 96 Diamond cross tasting. For the uncolored (presumably continental) contenders: Precious Liquors White Cat vs. Distillia Hornigold. On the nose the Distillia is ahead by quite some margin. Both are similar in character, yet the Distillia delivers way more column sweetness/coconut with tropical fruits and glue while the PL is more closed up on the nose and more dominated by wood as well as some alcohol. Similar profiles on the palate. Toffee, coconut, dried fruits as well as some sweetness. Again, I prefer the Distillia release which is more balanced with individual aromas presented nicely. Yet it is als more delicate / thinner and a bit more sweet. The PL adds more woody and spices notes to the mix, but lacks complexity and balance for me in comparison.

Unusually Spanish in appearance and rather sweetly pleasing.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oha, im Suff gezecht und nicht eingecheckt 😀😅 War jedenfalls ein top Teil. War jedenfalls leichtvsüßlich, viel Karamell, Vanille und Schokolade, etwas Holz konnte man aber auch noch erkennen. War wohl ok 😀

Goûté au rhumfest Paris 2026. Encore un guyana qui m a assez plu. Je l ai trouvé quand même bien en dessous du Enmore que j ai goûté juste après. Il est assez doux et moins concentré. La finale est moins persistante aussi. Mais c est un diamond qui se défend très bien.
Review by Skyfly
Klassischer Diamond mit viel Kokosnuss, Holz und Karamell. Die getrockneten Früchte halten sich etwas im Hintergrund. Daneben Milchschokolade und diverse Gewürze. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Ähnlichkeiten aber holziger als der Hornigold von Distilia

Tasted at UK RumFest 2024. Tried alongside the Black Cat. Both were great and the Black Cat the slightly better of the two. Interestingly both rums were on the list to be bought with Golden Tots but the team on the stall were happy to offer tastings for free.
Review by Johannes
Not really very complex. I wouldn't have blindly guessed Guyana. It's more of a Spanish column style.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Nice on the nose, but for me it lacks intensity of mouthfeel and depth of flavours. Still quite nice rum that I would not refuse when offered to me next time.
Review by Michael Schou
14-02-2025 Had high hopes for Black Cat and expected a continental flavored White Cat with no claws. But it was just opposite. Black Cat disappointed a bit and White Cat took the win. A really good glas. Would like to retaste
Review by bavarian-rumlover
Fand ihn jetzt nicht besonders auffällig, etwas florale Noten. Angenehmer Nachgeschmack. Bleibt mir aber jetzt nicht besonders in Erinnerung
