Very fruity and floral nose. Eerily intense and almost perfume-like. The palate is creamy and complex. The finish adds the typical mint. Perfectly integrated alcohol. Excellent T.D.L!

Un nez à tomber. Le rhum le plus expressif qu'il m'ait été donné de sentir. Du fruit, de la banane, du cassis, des notes cacaotées, de la menthe. En bouche, ça explose. Le cassis est très présent. C'est sucré, gourmand à souhait, très fuité. Le profil change cependant à chaque gorgée et leur se révéler également plus boisé avec des notes de café. L'alcool est là, très discret malgré les 57°. Idéal. Finale à l'avenant et longueur en bouche très agréable. 89 pour ne pas le mettre pile au même niveau que le <>H de Swell. Mais il le mériterait sûrement tant le profil est différent. Superbe. Édit : un bonbon piquant. Goûtez, fermez les yeux, voyagez :)

Nose: Very floral, fruits, fresh. Very nice and almost delicate profile. Palate: intense and complex. Combining floral notes with herbs and fruity notes embedded in some sweetness. Rather on the elegant side compared to other TDLs.

A very limited but really good rum. Intense on the nose but complex and well balanced on the palate. Very good balance between spices and fruit and I like the roasted wood notes. The chocolate is more obvious in the empty glass after a while.

first incredulous amazement 😳What are these notes? It goes towards dusty cocoa powder and black currants. Then again more familiar TDL markers like tobacco, red fermented fruits, vanilla, but also iodine and marshmallows (?). On the palate red fruit jelly, chewy tobacco, a few hints of Caroni auto shop. Quite heavy and complex. Roasty sweet finish. The menthol notes as with the RA TDLs I have here only subtly. A TDL that - especially on the nose - really stands out again from the other good representatives of his trade (2001-2003 TDLs), really exceptional!

Mint, red fruit jelly and baby bananas and other tropical fruits on the nose. In addition, some smoke and acacia honey. Taste then again smoke, honey, mint and tropical fruits some lime zest and bitter cocoa nibs. Reminds me somehow discreetly both taste and nose of an 86er will. Extremely positive surprise! For a TDL he is me personally just a little too smoky but still an exception rum and probably the oldest TDL I had to date. Chapeau to swell de spirits for another excellent barrel selection!

What an extraordinary rum...On the nose initially a lot of fruit, especially black currant , the longer it lingers in the glass appears an intense cocoa note! The palate is intense and quite complex! Reminds me of an alcoholic praline (cassis and cocoa powder) extremely delicious...The finish continues so, something fresh and light mead join it!A top rum, chapeau

Das war unerwartet... Wahnsinnig gut! Übertrieben viel Frucht an der Nase ergänzt von Vanille, Schokolade und Honig. Sehr rund! Im Mund zeigt diese besondere Abfüllung eine neue Facette und kommt mit Röstaromen wie Kaffee um die Ecke. Absolut mild und sehr honig- und karamellintensiv. Im Abgang fusioniert die Nase und Mund zu einem intensiven und komplexen Erlebnis. Bombastisch!

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!

The first thing to mention here is the design of the bottle. Most beautiful bottle 2022.In the nose pineapple, lots of honey, smoky and fermented. Balanced, alcohol perfectly integrated.In the mouth it continues similarly, now also hazelnuts and tobacco.A beautiful rum off the beaten path. Remarkably complex and delicate.

Very complex, I can't even distinguish one by one from the daily aromas, rich fruit (especially tropical) and spice notes, very interesting. It's a bit more woody on the palate, unique, because you can barely smell it, very fruity, slightly less complex than smelling, but still very consistent. It smells really good and fresh! I've tasted a lot of good T.D.L over the past year, and this one is no exception. Smooth. not only a bottle to be savoured, but also a good choice to sip when relaxing at leisure. At a reasonable price, this bottle and Plantation 2001(antipodes of LMDW) would be one of my repeat purchases.

La bouche est très évolutive. L'ensemble est réussi. Avec l'Excellence Rhum, ce rhum me convainc de la capacité de TDL à sortir de très bons jus.

Au nez, c'est très gourmand. On sent le fruits exotiques, l'ananas et la mangue,mais également le cassis, la vanille. Des notes de cacao et de fruits secs grillés ( noisettes, noix du Brésil). Une note mentholée vient doucement caresser les narines. En bouche les fruits exotiques resortentes puis le cassis explose. Un petit côté poivré vient perturber les papilles et le boisé vient prolonger la dégustation et amène une belle longueur. L'alcool est bien intégré et ça reste très gourmand. Un rhum bluffant que j'ai hâte de regouter dans quelques temps pour voir l'évolution.

Un nez fabuleux, rarement pris une claque pareille sur une quille de rhum. Des fruits dans tous les sens, de la fleur, du bonbon arlequin, une pointe de vanille et de menthol. La bouche est belle, bien intégrée mais beaucoup plus sur les épices, le boisé et le menthol. Des fruits tropicaux viennent compléter le tout mais il n’est pas similaire au nez où les fruits emportaient tout. Comme tout le monde, je trouve que ce rhum est sublime.

👃 : typique des TDL du début 2000 avec des notes fraîches de Menthol, grenadine, cassis et très légèrement de bois/chai humide. Quelques notes de bois toastées. C'est frais et cela promet une belle gourmandise fruitée. 👄 : le Menthol s'invite en 1er puis les notes fruitées arrivent avec à nouveau la grenadine et le cassis ainsi que la chlorophylle et des notes herbacées rappelant le chanvre. Beaucoup de fraîcheur et à la différence du nez on a pas ou très peu les notes toastées. L'alcool est parfaitement intégré. La finale est longue, fruitée puis se termine par le Menthol et enfin la cassonade. Pour conclure un magnifique TDL que l'on prend plaisir à boire et à reboire. Son seul défaut c'est que je n'ai pas d'autre bouteille. ;-)
