    Really minty on the finish. Almost like chewing on a dried mint. After aerination, the nose develops more towrds really nice "darker" notes - baking spices, wood, dried fruits.

    Un TDL étrangement discret comparé à son prédécesseur du même embouteilleur, ou même à d’autres embouteillages du même Millésime. Le nez apporte des notes de menthol et d’herbes aromatiques, puis plonge parmi les épices (vanille, réglisse, poivre, anis) et le chêne avant de s’éteindre sur quelques notes de fruits éparses entre la pêche, la mangue et les fruits secs. Si on retrouve un peu de cuir et des notes rôties, ce TDL est un peu plus terne en termes d’arômes et de puissance. En bouche, c’est un rhum typique de son terroir qui vient heurter le palais de ses puissantes notes mentholées et herbacées, suivies d’un fruité un peu plus présent sur la pêche, la mangue et l’acidité des agrumes. Le boisé et les épices (sel notamment) sont toujours là, marquant le palais de leur présence et nuançant le profil global. On retrouve un rhum assez rond, sec et marqué par une pointe de saleté. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale est plutôt concentrée sur une certaine astringence marquée par le côté minéral et métallique, voir légèrement iodé du profil. Le menthol est toujours frais, mais soutenu par un peu d’amertume provenant du cuir et des épices. Dans l’ensemble, l’exubérance habituelle des TDL de 2003 semble ici domptée par le vieillissement, qui apporte certes un charme différent mais atténue le potentiel de l’embouteillage, qui reste d’un haut niveau malgré tout.

    Trocken ausgelegter TDL mit sehr expressiver, aber dennoch fein-granularer Minz- und Mentholnote. Flankierend kommen Fass-, Frucht- sowie dezente Würznoten mit dazu. Abseits der für mich sehr schmackhaften intensiven Minz-Mentholaromatik kein Komplexitätsmonster, aber dennoch ein ansprechendes Release.

    Intense mint and menthol notes lingering on the nose. Notes from the cask - vanilla and wood - also present creating a balanced profile. Balance is also what you find in the palate. Despite its age, this release shows a lighter profile versus other 2003 bottlings. Akin to the Single Cask Nation Angostura release. All classic notes are there yet in a less heavy overall composition. Refreshing.
