    Really fine, typical, but expensive TDL. Can actually play with the big kids.

    Wirklich guter TDL. Tolle Frucht (Zitrusfrüchte & lychee) frische Minze und eine feine süße die dezent an Lebkuchen und kandierten Ingwer erinnert. Sehr lecker. Alkohol ebenfalls sehr gut integriert. :)

    Black fruit and very ripe melon.

    Mint, tropical fruit, classic image of the 2000 TDLs. Appealing aromatic depth on the palate, fresh mint and menthol aromas, subtle fruit esters, plus roasted aromas from the barrel. The influence of the wood is already quite present, but still perfectly integrated into the overall profile. Another top representative of the TDLs from the post-2000s era.
