"Very fruity and inspiring floral nose. Incredibly intense and almost perfume-like. Creamy and multi-layered on the palate. The typical mint is added on the finish. Perfectly integrated alcohol. Excellent T.D.L!"
"Mint, red fruit jelly and baby bananas and other tropical fruits on the nose. Also some smoke and acacia honey. Smoke, honey, mint and tropical fruits again on the palate, a little lime zest and bitter cocoa nibs. Again passion fruit bananas from Madeira. Reminds me somehow discreetly both in taste and on the nose of an 86, only with a lot of fruit! An extremely positive surprise! An absolute exception TDL. Chapeau to swell de spirits for another excellent cask selection! 😍"
"A nose to die for. The most expressive rum I've ever smelled. Fruit, banana, blackcurrant, cocoa notes, mint. On the palate, it explodes. Blackcurrant is very present. It's sweet, delicious and very fruity. The profile changes with each sip, however, and they also turn out to be more woody, with notes of coffee. The alcohol is there, very discreet despite the 57°. Ideal. Matching finish and pleasant length on the palate. 89 for not putting it right up there with Swell's <>H. But the profile is so different that it surely deserves to be. Superb. Edit: a piquant candy. Taste, close your eyes, travel :)"
"The nose starts with plum liqueur and black currant. The alcohol stings a bit on the nose. Very complex and not so easy to pin down. Palate: Wow, what a surprising fruitiness! Black currant in incredible intensity, goes over to cassis. Not so easy to perceive anything else next to it!Finish: continued black currant, spice and mint. This is really a special T.D.L , very good choice and very fair price!"
