    Utopia… das trifft es ganz gut… was für ein Blend… erstaunlich wie gut diese Mischung zwischen TDL und Belize harmoniert. Nichts dominiert, beide Stile kommen durchaus zur Geltung und vereinen ihre Vorzüge! Mir gefällt es

    TDL meets Belize for a blend. Zu Beginn auch ordentlich Minze Minze Minze 😀, Kokos (und Belize) lassen sich bei mehrmaligen riechen aber auch gut erkennen. Am Gaumen treffen sich dann irgendwie zwei Welten. Das wirkt interessant wenn auch nicht perfekt. Hinten raus wirkt dann vor allem der Belize Anteil nach, es wird fruchtig trocken natürlich mit Minze. Schöne Utopie.

    TDL trifft auf Belize, das hatte ich so noch nicht im Glas. Hatte ich bis jetzt auch nicht für nötig empfunden =D Nach der zweitem Verkostung muss ich sagen, dass die Mischung für mich sehr gut passt. So unterschiedlich die beiden Komponenten auch sein mögen, so gut ergänzen sie sich. Den Startschuss am Gaumen macht ein dreckiges TDL Profil, begleitet von der typischen Minznote. Irgendwann fruchtet sich die Milchschokoladen- Kokosnuss aus Belize in das Aromenspektrum, bis der, leider flache, Abgang wieder in Minze umschlägt. Jeder Schluck scheint anders zu sein. Dieser Rum lädt zum experimentieren am Gaumen ein. Super!

    Naja, Belize ist jetzt nicht so mein Lieblingsprofil. Anfangs fand ich diesen Blend eigentlich ganz gut mit den T.D.L Markern. Was ihn leider zumindest bei mir das Genick bricht ist dieser Abgang, der Geschmacklich an Sodbrennen erinnert. Dort ist der Alkohol nicht wirklich gut integriert.
