    RumX members love the minty‑herbal TDL profile with juicy peach‑mango fruit and a long, dry finish. Expect caramel and vanilla over roasted oak, with tea‑like notes many call peach iced tea. At 63.4% the alcohol is well integrated for most, giving power without bite. A 14‑year, 2009 cask‑strength Trinidad limited to 180 bottles, and a popular pick with 76 community reviews and strong buyer confidence.

    As usual, mint and menthol, very nice. Well-balanced rum; fruit, wood and spice with a clear herbal note work wonderfully here. Compared to other 2009 TDLs, it is also convincing. Solid with a very good PLV.

    A real aroma bomb full of mint, a potpourri of tropical fruits and barrel influences, which add both bitterness and spiciness. This is flanked by a delicate sweetness that rounds off the release successfully for me. No, this is not easy sipping, it remains challenging, but also rewarding because it is multi-layered and aromatically lively - there is always something new to discover on the palate and the finish is also long-lasting. Great!

    Very nice profile with plenty of mint and fruitiness.

    Schöne fruchtige Noten in der Nase. Am Gaumen ganz toll. Mango trifft leichte Minze. Macht richtig Spaß. Tolle Abfüllung, und zu dem Preis erst recht! Für mich ein richtiges Highlight! Edit: Der ist leider zu geil, den muss ich noch mal um 0.1 Punkte anheben. Edit2: Verkostet gegen den Vagabond Silva Collection TDL 200 / RX19262. In der Nase kommt der FRC sehr Fruchtig-minzig daher, der Vagabond eher rauchig-würzig. Am Gaumen der FRC dann wirklich sehr fruchtig, schön untermalt von den frischen Minzearomen, alles sehr harmonisch. Nicht außerordentlich komplex, aber sehr süffig. Ganz anders der Vagabond. Viele Kräuter, trockener und im direkten Vergleich wesentlich weniger fruchtig als der FRC, stärker im Antritt und auch etwas schärfer. Über allem liegt eine dezente Rauchnote. Der FRC wird mit etwas Wasser noch süffiger und easy-drinking als ohnehin schon. Zu viel Wasser sollte man ihm aber wohl nicht geben, sonst wird er zu flach. Der Vagabond wird mit etwas Wasser ebenfalls zugänglicher und gefällt mir so sogar etwas besser als pur. Der Alkohol beißt nicht mehr und er lässt sich besser trinken, seine einzelnen Facetten aus verschiedenen Kräutern und dezentem Rauch kommen besser zur Geltung. Im Abgang sind beide mittellang, der FRC mit mehr Frucht, der Vagabond mit mehr Kräutern. Unterm Strich würde ich sagen, dass der Vagabond vielleicht einen Ticken mehr Komplexität bietet als der FRC, der FRC mir persönlich aufgrund der besonderen Fruchtigkeit aber noch etwas besser gefällt. Beides tolle Abfüllungen, wobei der FRC das bessere Preis/Genuss Verhältnis bietet. Edit 3: Mit noch etwas mehr Luft einfach für mich der beste TDL 2009. Wahnsinns Teil!
