“Creamy on the palate with milk chocolate, vanilla and wood. There are also some artificial fruits akin to those in energy drinks. Somewhat unique… 🤔”

“Im Abgang sehr alkoholisch, etwas undefinierbares Profil. Sehr viel Column. Geht in Richtung Foursquare.”

“A rum tasted at Rum Depot in Berlin. The bottle is almost empty. A nose of yellow fruit, banana first, but also pear and mirabelle plum. In the background, nutty and woody notes. On the palate, the attack is woody and nutty, followed by fruit. A slight acidity disrupts the finish. The finish is well-balanced and fairly long, with apple and pear fruit. The empty glass is reminiscent of a distant Caroni, giving depth to the aromas. A fine rum, well-made and very pleasant at a good price. Only the slight acidity on the palate makes it lose points.”

“I'm just as unconvinced as the new Schotman's Foursquare. Maybe it's just not the right T.D.L vintage for me.”

“Dominated by complex, oily sweetness reminiscent of nougat, caramel, vanilla and molasses. In addition, pointed notes of cinnamon and pepper, some toasted wood. The expectation of fresh menthol, eucalyptus or citrus awakened by other TDL bottlings remains an unfulfilled, in this release the heavy sweetness dominates. This creates sweetness, but is completely at the expense of complexity. Remains for me just in the very good range, but more is not in it due to the fairly straightforward profile.”

“Für mich etwas schwächer als die beiden vorherigen Releases, die ich sehr gut fand. Sowohl in der Nase als auch am Gaumen sehr zurückhaltend, um nicht zu sagen dünn, wobei der Alkohol durchaus präsent ist. Schöne Schokoladennote, die zusammen mit etwas Traube mich ein bisschen an Armagnacs erinnert (auch wenn ich Schokolade jetzt nicht als typisches Aroma bei Armagnacs beschreiben würde, aber irgendwas lässt das in meinem Kopf klingeln). Ganz anders als sämtliche TDLs, die ich bisher probieren konnte, aber möglicherweise auch dem Jahrgang geschuldet. Irgendwie lecker, aber es wird nicht mein Lieblings-TDL!”

“Ich habe diesen Rum Zusammen mit dem 17 Jahre Barbados Rum verkostet. Da war der Barbados um einiges besser für mich persönlich. Trotzdem kein schlechter Tropfen. Intensiv, leichte Traubige Noten, etwas Holz, angenehme süße mit Kaffee und Röst Aromen. Ich hatte einige Aromen die ich nicht zuordnen konnte.”

“ULTRA gourmand nose with licorice, light solvents and, above all, milk chocolate and caramel, giving the impression of smelling a Mars-type chocolate bar. On the palate, the 62s are discreet, caramel and licorice are joined by a nice woodiness and a pleasant orange zest. A slight, not unpleasant bitterness is present on the finish. Long finish on the same notes and brown sugar. A slight lack of fruit on the negative side...”

“Nicht das, was ich von T.D.L erwartet habe. Alkohol nur mäßig gut eingebunden. Milchschokolade, dunkle Schokolade, Karamell, Nougat. Auch nicht sehr lang anhaltend. Ist ok, aber wenn man das Profil sucht, ist man bei anderen besser aufgehoben.”

“Ve vůni je velmi cítit vanilka a dřevo, následováno žlutým ovocem - banány, meruňky. V chuti se objevují sladké tóny čokolády, dřeva..a závěr je na mě příliš alkoholový. Zajímavý vzorek, ale po láhvi netoužim.”
