“#4072 This is the 4th time I've sampled this one and I really like it. So much so that I have a bottle on the shelf to enjoy. Lightly woody with fruits and spices. There is a light dirty set of workshop notes and I really like that part.”

“A superb T.D.L. from 2002, which is hyper-fruity, oscillating between black fruit (blackcurrant), yellow fruit, citrus (lime) and tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, papaya). A breeze of floral and mentholated freshness, enhanced by eucalyptus, lightly perfumes the nostrils. Toasty wood, leather, cocoa and spices (vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, ginger) round out a very round, fragrant and elegant profile. On the palate, the rum is voluptuous. Menthol hits the palate with full force, accompanied by eucalyptus and aromatic herbs. This is followed by a myriad of fruits, from blackcurrant and melon to peach, lime, mango and pineapple. Wood and spice close the ball with notes of ginger, vanilla, pepper and clove. Alcohol slightly titillates the palate, but remains very well integrated. The finish is long, lingering on menthol, blackcurrant, citrus, spice and a hint of bitterness on leather and tea notes. Although the price is slightly higher than other cuvées, this is a complete T.D.L., very aromatic and full-bodied, which will delight menthol lovers in particular.”

“The nose starts very intense with a mix of sweetness, fruitiness (kiwi and cassis!), herbs (mint and eucalyptus!) Very wicked!On the palate it really gets going: blatantly intense mint, cassis and heavy aromas from the barrel. Additionally, a slight sweetness. The finish is eternally long and intense.The similarity to the RA 2002 T.D.L is very clear. Who knows the RA, misses nothing here.”

“On par with RA's T.D.L 2002 (RX7783) in all respects. A board without weaknesses. I still have to test it directly against the FRC T.D.L, but I already suspect nothing good for the FRC, which was highly praised by me at the time.”

“Boom! Already when pouring from the sample it becomes clear why I was hyped on the FRC last year and why I found it so disappointing. Today again in direct comparison.The RdL has everything I would expect from a 2002 TDL: mint en masse, ripe yellow fruit (ripe peach) and my beloved falernum aroma - almond, ginger, clove, lime, cane sugar: it's all there. Intense and round. The FRC is not dissimilar, but paler and unripe, with a sour estery note, the falernum missing can only be guessed at. I remember the mouthfeel of the RA as an unexpected explosion. With the FRC, on the other hand, wateriness is the defining impression. The mouth of the RdL is intense, but not an explosion: mint, which becomes mentholated towards the finish, peach, melon, bitter grapefruit, some hops and the falernum once again. Wood and alcohol are super integrated. The finish is super long, dry, soft and volatile. Still sucking grapefruit falernum peach iced tea for minutes. I love this profile 🤤Pity that the much more attractively priced FRC could only deliver a thin decal of this. Still have a bottle of RA, I save myself the 200€.”

“Erster Eindruck sofort Menthol, Minze, sehr langanhaltend. Sehr intensiv! Zitrusfrüchte/Grapefruit. Spricht mich sehr an durch die Menthol/Minz Noten. Ich sehe gerade das der Rum 63% hat, dafür ist der Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden.”

“Sehr schöner TDL. Etwas untypisch fruchtig mit viel gelben Früchten wie gelber Kiwi, Honigmelone und Pfirsichen aber auch leichter ingwer schärfe. Das typische Menthol ist da aber nicht übermäßig dominant. Alkohol könnte minimal besser eingebunden sein. Dennoch Schöne Abfüllung!”
