    Heute gibts ein feines T.D.L Battle auf hohem Niveau. CDI 2003, 19yo bottles for 1802: Sehr erfrischend, mit viel Minze, Eukalyptus, hellen Früchten. Dazu Trauben und eine Frische holzig bittere Note. Schöner langer und warmer Abgang. Zweite Verkostung: -1 Punkt Romdeluxe 2009: Der ist ganz anders. Viel dunkelfruchtiger, viel mehr Röstaromen, dafür weniger Minze. Im Mund cremig mit kandierten Früchten. Toller Rum.

    Rum or cognac? Could you say for sure in the blind tasting? I can't. Yes the TDL mint, along with ginger, cloves, citrus you can detect, but there is also the peach, grapey cognac flavors galore. Compared to the Caksus exclusive, the 1802 is brighter and fruitier and without the dark roasted aromas.The same picture in the mouth: mint and bright fruit - very cognacresque. My TDL Falernum to go with it. Actually tastes like a blend of the dirty 2001 and the fruity 2002s. Compared to the Caksus, the finish is much smoother and much less menthol-heavy, here the rösitge barrel does come out again and the alcohol remains perceptible, unfortunately. Very nice TDL.

    Wow, what a glorious nose of blackcurrant and fresh mint twigs. Some leather and wood. And than bam, fruit fruit and mint on the palate. Wowsers, might be the best 2003 tdl I had so far. Like a really good tea in the autumn

    Goûté au Rhum Society. Bouteille achetée… une bombe ! Presque sur la fin de ma bouteille
