How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise this T.D.L 2005 for its cooling mint‑eucalyptus character and vibrant fruit. Fresh mint, vanilla and burnt sugar on the nose lead to passion fruit, orange and black tea, with a subtle saline touch and caramel on a lingering finish. At 64.1% cask strength, it opens up with air (a drop of water helps). A popular, great‑value 18‑year release, limited to 255 bottles and well‑reviewed by 77 members.

Chocolate, mango, peach, tropical fruit, tobacco, generally very fruity, tropical, not Jamaican but different, dry on the nose, associations with sweetness, but it's not really sweet. In the mouth, tobacco, tea, red fruits, licorice, orange peel, passion fruit, rubber frogs, subtly woody. Tastes like tropical iced tea...dangerous. Alcohol well integrated, for 64% a somewhat light finish but lasts a long time, changes flavors. In the finish still pome fruit, slightly smoky, black tea, mint. Time to breathe is recommended and a drop or two of water would also suit it well. A very successful TDL bottling that is fun to drink. More fruity in profile compared to the CDI.
Interesting filigree, fruity-sweet and flowery nose! Strangely enough, there seems to be more behind the light aromas than the nose reveals. I'm looking forward to the first sip! Oh yes, there is hardly anything delicate on the palate! At first, the alcohol really comes into its own and gradually the typical TDL markers emerge: spice, mint, herbs, black tea, eucalyptus. The finish is harmonious with the impression on the palate. The barrel notes and herbs remain present for a long time and the fruitiness (passion fruit!) fades. I really like this TDL because it is so beautifully floral and restrained and elegant on the nose but really packs a punch on the palate!
This T.D.L 2005 is a great bottling. So young and yet so full-bodied. The nose is not quite as pronounced as the palate, but gives you a hint of what is to come. Fresh mint/eucalyptus paired with burnt caramel and a juniper/gin note. Very promising. It then shows its potential on the palate, as these flavors are wonderfully alternated in the mouth without one dominating too much. Perfect! The finish is of medium length and here, too, the aforementioned aromas gently fade out.
The Rhum Attitude is somehow a little restrained on the nose, and at a proud 64.1%. What I make out goes in the direction of yellow fruit, cream candy, shortbread, mint. The palate is different, the power comes out immediately, with passion fruit, cappuccino, caramel, cask, salty at the back... From memory, I would say that the Swell 2005 TDL was a whole lot better...
