Alcohol unfortunately not well integrated. Light mint, wood, chocolate. Overall lacks complexity.
A solid TDL representative, which is still predominantly sweet on the nose with a heavy caramel sweetness, but then opens up a little more on the palate and offers subtle fruit aromas and menthol notes alongside spices. It seems very balanced, which leaves me a little too little room for the deeper aromas - but the release remains very appealing.
Here the alcool bits a lot. On the nose, wood is the main trait, together with a certain sweetness (caramel, honey) and an hint of mint, really light. Drink side, alcool again strikes immediately, covering a bit the profile which is wood driven, but the fresh mint trait is again here balancing the sweetness. Was the alcool Better integrated, this would have been a good rum.
Last one in my TDL line up today. A handfill from the Rhum Attitude shop in Brussels a friend brought me. 16 years old. Nose: despite the heavy alcohol this one seems the most closed. Needs time. Cinnamon is the first that pops up. Some fruit. Everything is faint. Let's just taste. T: okay weirdly enough this reminds me loads of FourSquare instead of TDL. Much lighter in style. American Oak. Lots of wood. Bit of mint. Coffee. Such a different style than the other TDL I had. Almost like it's a blend with FS. Weird one. Good but least of the bunch. Will try again. Maybe the one before this killed all nuance.
