    "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."

    "Nice TDL that can't really stand out... Typical notes of mint, chocolate and caramel. Delicious but not very recognizable. Still grateful to be able to try it."

    "Diese AbfĂŒllung kann mich nicht so ganz ĂŒberzeugen. Es sind zwar alle Marker der 2003er vorhanden (Minze/Menthol/Karamell), jedoch sehr verhalten. Zudem ist der Alkohol nicht sonderlich gut eingebunden. Das ist kein schlechter Rum, aber im Vergleich zu den anderen 2003er fĂ€llt er etwas ab"

    "Un TDL Ă©trangement discret comparĂ© Ă  son prĂ©dĂ©cesseur du mĂȘme embouteilleur, ou mĂȘme Ă  d’autres embouteillages du mĂȘme MillĂ©sime. Le nez apporte des notes de menthol et d’herbes aromatiques, puis plonge parmi les Ă©pices (vanille, rĂ©glisse, poivre, anis) et le chĂȘne avant de s’éteindre sur quelques notes de fruits Ă©parses entre la pĂȘche, la mangue et les fruits secs. Si on retrouve un peu de cuir et des notes rĂŽties, ce TDL est un peu plus terne en termes d’arĂŽmes et de puissance. En bouche, c’est un rhum typique de son terroir qui vient heurter le palais de ses puissantes notes mentholĂ©es et herbacĂ©es, suivies d’un fruitĂ© un peu plus prĂ©sent sur la pĂȘche, la mangue et l’aciditĂ© des agrumes. Le boisĂ© et les Ă©pices (sel notamment) sont toujours lĂ , marquant le palais de leur prĂ©sence et nuançant le profil global. On retrouve un rhum assez rond, sec et marquĂ© par une pointe de saletĂ©. L’alcool est bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est plutĂŽt concentrĂ©e sur une certaine astringence marquĂ©e par le cĂŽtĂ© minĂ©ral et mĂ©tallique, voir lĂ©gĂšrement iodĂ© du profil. Le menthol est toujours frais, mais soutenu par un peu d’amertume provenant du cuir et des Ă©pices. Dans l’ensemble, l’exubĂ©rance habituelle des TDL de 2003 semble ici domptĂ©e par le vieillissement, qui apporte certes un charme diffĂ©rent mais attĂ©nue le potentiel de l’embouteillage, qui reste d’un haut niveau malgrĂ© tout."
