How does this rum taste?
Most reviewers love the vivid blackcurrant, red fruit, and menthol freshness that stand out from this 2008 T.D.L cask strength. Aromas of tropical fruit and vanilla develop into flavors of mint, wood, and berries, making it a vibrant sipper—especially enjoyed after a meal or with some air in the glass. Its bold, fruity character and unique minty notes make it a consistent favorite and a worthwhile buy for fans of expressive Trinidad rums.

Edit: enjoyed again in peace as a digestive rum after lunch at the Italian restaurant. I'm always a bit critical of Swell, but this one really won me over for once. Great bottling. Adjusted upwards a little. Unfortunately only sipped briefly when bottling. First impressions are better than the last Swell T.D.L Privat Garden #4, but a detailed tasting will follow.
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.
Bitterorange/Kumquat/Minze/Eukalyptus/Eichenfass.... Super ölig, ätherisch, ölig frisch und intensiv. Könnte etwas komplexer sein. Insgesamt ist er mir zu adstringierend und holzig, hätte ich etwas mehr erwartet.
Great TDL mint and menthol profile, which is obviously also present in 2008 alongside the 2001-2003 vintages. Exciting, still rather fresh with subtle wood and caramel notes - earlier vintages offer even more power. However, it remains to be seen what will happen here with further ageing.
