    "The 2009 TDLs are developing more and more into the little brother of the 2003 vintage. I wonder what influence the cask has on the heavier, minty aromas. They are much more pronounced here than in the Plantation OTL or the LMDR. The nose is in line with my favorite TDL profile: ripe peach, mango, mint and a nice mix of spice and chemical flavors. Really surprisingly ripe and beautiful for a 2009. The mouth continues similarly, with the typical black tea, citrus and some tobacco. I have now tasted it against the Caksus CDI 2003 and it would probably be hard to tell the difference blind. The fruit is clearer and brighter in the CDI 2003, the aromas in the Dram Mor are less defined and the finish lacks the intense, very long mint. So far the best 2009 I've tasted. I'm pleased that the heavy TDLs are not limited to the 2001-2003 vintages. Update: tasted again against the TWJ 2009. The rums are the same. Extremely similar, the 5% more alcohol does not affect the TWJ, the TWJ is a shade darker with more brown caramel. Update: Three times TDL 2009, all three released within a year. I've had Dram Mor and TWJ together in the glass before and could hardly tell them apart. The three rums are also extremely similar in the rest of the tasting. The Dram Mor brings a little more acidity in the mouth, the FRC is the biggest fruit bomb with an intense mango note, the TWJ is very similar to the FRC, a little wilder in the mouth. In the end, the same score for all 3. A super batch, very tasty!"

    "Wonderful bottling, as a fan of mint and menthol notes I really get my money's worth here. I really like the combination with peach and black tea. I'm delighted with how TDL has developed in recent years."

    "The first of my 2009 TDLs this evening. And the start with the Dram Mor is already very good. The fresh mint aroma carries through from the nose to the finish. As does the fruitiness of the peach. I also detect a hint of smokiness on the nose. The smokiness is joined on the palate by some roastiness, black tea and herbs. The finish is slightly bitter at the end. There is definitely a comparison to the 2003 bottlings here"

    "Nicely pronounced minty aromas, relaxed to drink. Surprising to find this profile in a TDL after 2003."
