    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this 2008 TDL for lively menthol freshness over tropical and red fruits, with smoky-roasted wood and caramel. The nose shows glue/varnish; the palate brings blackcurrant, cherry, spice and a minty lift. At cask strength, it’s intense and benefits from time in the glass. A popular pick with 62 reviews and a limited run of 351 bottles, though some note firm oak and slightly edgy alcohol.

    A lot of glue. Slightly sharp but the fruitiness is impressive here. If you prefer a bit more of that typical glue and varnish, this one is for you.

    Problème d'intégration d'alcool.. Rhum peu abouti.. La trame est présente, le côté tdl y est le nez me parle.. Mais il est de loin d'être mon meilleur tdl.. Un gros manque d'équilibre et de justesse dans ce produit.. Je pensais que mon organisme ne supportait plus les rhums à plus de 63° (ce qui me surprenait et m'a fait un peu peur...) mais en retournant sur d'autres sélections ou autres gammes... Je vois que c'est vraiment un problème avec cette sélection... Dommage.. Car rapport qualité prix pour du 50cl.. On y est pas du tout.

    Ce jus est plutôt bien fait , Une intégration d’alcool qui pourrait être meilleure encore, ça doit être un des seuls défauts que je lui trouve. Belle complexité, Beaucoup de fruits, Et du menthol… Habituel pour les TDL de cette époque Belle longueur en bouche J’aime bien

    Très fruité ! Il faut bien le laisser respirer (au moins 45 min) c'est une explosion de cassis que fond de cerise. Puis viennent les épices et le mentholé, ce dernier vient rajouté une bonne dose de fraîcheur. C'est super bon. Très bon RQP 👌
