    How does this rum taste?

    The "On Tour Cuvée Spéciale (Salon du Rhum)" is a distinctive rum crafted in Trinidad at the T.D.L distillery and bottled by Swell de Spirits. Distilled in 2005 from molasses, it was aged for up to 10 years, featuring a formidable 62.5% ABV. It uniquely blends rubber, smoky, and minty aromas with flavors of peat, mint, and oak, offering a complex and enveloping tasting experience. Users note the profound influence of the Caroni cask, contributing to its smoky, earthy character reminiscent of a peaty whisky. While its intense, unique profile may divide opinion, it is lauded for its originality and depth, marking a bold entry in the post-2000 TDL rum landscape.

    Interessantes Geschmackserlebnis, der torfige Grundton findet im TDL-Profil natürlich einen kraftvollen Gegenspieler, was dazu führt, dass hier im Aromenspektrum noch deutlich mehr passiert als bloss Rauchigkeit - wobei selbige natürlich trotzdem eine Hauptrolle einnimmt. Frische Minze, Tee- und Holzaromen, dezente Früchte und die genannten Torfnoten bilden hier eine interessante und ausgewogene Melange. Tolle Komplexität und Mundfülle. Wer an der erdig-torfigen Aromatik Gefallen findet, dem bietet sich hier eine spannende Ergänzung im Spektrum der Post-2000er TDLs.

    A real UFO among TDLs. This bottling from Swell de Spirits offers something you don't usually find, and that's worth noting. The nose is unsettling, with notes of peat, smoke, petroleum notes on gasoline, spicy, spicy oak and a hint of salt. It also exudes a rubbery, minty, earthy aura. The shadow of the Caroni cask is in full effect here. Original, complex and very intriguing. On the palate, the profile remains true to the nose, and just as disturbing: peat is very present, followed by smoky notes, hydrocarbons, tobacco, herbs, menthol and roasted wood with spices. The Caroni cask finish adds real value here. It's a zany profile, which you either love or hate, but which doesn't leave you indifferent. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long. It coats the mouth with its peaty, smoky, dirty and spicy imprint, with herbaceous aromas and a hint of caramel that brings a light touch of sugar to this well-tempered whole. A difficult profile to approach, but one whose risk-taking and originality make it a captivating rum. Swell de Spirits reveals a totally new facet of TDL, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for the future.

    #5065 Friday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Medium dark. Nose Fresh, light wood, mint, faint roasted, dried fruit, light caramel, faint berries. Palate Round, light oily, light wood, mint, spice, dried fruit, light caramel, light orange, faint chocolate. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, mint, fruits, light caramel, faint citrus, light orange. Empty glass Light chocolate, faint coffee, mint, raisin, light licorice.

    Dieser T.D.L 2005 sagt mir so gar nicht zu. Der ist mir eindeutig zu torfig und Whisylastig. Zwar sind auch ein paar dreckig- minzige Caroninoten dabei (die ich eigentlich sehr mag), die jedoch das Torfige nicht wettmachen können. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und kaum wahrnehmbar. Ich vermute, dass man diese Abfüllung entweder liebt oder hasst
