Great overall package of menthol, wood and fruit with great complexity. The sweetness expands on the finish, revealing both caramel and vanilla sugar notes, but also very delicate fruit sweetness, which suits the overall profile very well. Excellent TDL, I like the release very much.
Spannender TDL des noch jungen Abfüllers aus Frankreich den ich nach viel Lob jetzt Dank der Community auch Mal testen darf. 😊 Die Nase ist erstmal geprägt von Menthol, typisch TDL dazu hier einiges an Zitrusfrucht und vor allem schwarze Johannisbeeren. Gefällt schon einmal sehr gut. Am Gaumen sind die Johannisbeeren immer noch stark präsent dazu kommt die TDL Minze stark durch und das ganze ist durch eine ausgeprägte Rauchigkeit unterlegt. Im Finale wird es dann auch eher Floral -würzig-speckig, leicht tannini, die Frucht ist noch da aber spielt nur eine Nebenrolle. Eine tolle Abfüllung.
Ein sehr bekömmlicher Vertreter aus Trinidad. An der Nase Holz und Minze. Am Gaumen kommt eine schöne karamellige Note hinzu. Der Alkohol ist topp eingebunden und so gar nicht spürbar. Schade die Abfüllung hab ich wohl verpasst. Macht auf jedenfall viel Laune.
A surprisingly very good bottling. It is more on the fruity side, which suits it very well. The initial sweetness on the palate is also a good introduction to the sweet and sour fruit flavors that follow. The finish is dominated by the minty, fresh side and flanked by dried red fruits and light tannins.
