"Hmm, also ich werde mit diesem TDL erstaunlicherweise nicht so richtig warm. Wirkt er an der Nase noch lange tropisch gelagert, aber irgendwie unspektakulär, hat er am Gaumen für mich zu wenig Minze, dafür aber eine gewisse Ruppigkeit, ist mir da zu anstrengend, zu herb. Noch ist im Samplefläschchen etwas drin, ich muss ihn noch mal verkosten. Heute jedoch "nur" gerade so 80 Punkte."
"Franconian Tasting Gang am 23.11.24 bei Jarek. Irgendwie holt mich wohl T.D.L zur Zeit nicht mehr so wirklich ab. Im Vergleich dazu gab es die T.D.L Eule von Romdeluxe. Als Fazit für mich, kann dieser von Swell leider nicht den Anschluss halten."
"Swell and TDLs are a guarantee for top-class rums. This one as well. It actually comes across as relatively moderate for a TDL. I have menthol and red fruits. Tar and mint notes only extremely subtle. I like it very much. The mint hardliners will find this one too shallow. I like it as an easy sipper. Unfortunately quite expensive, like so many SdS."
"Nose: Relatively round and predominantly fruity notes on the nose. Reminiscent of iced tea peach with a slight minty note. Very inviting overall, but neither particularly intense nor complex. The same game on the palate. A fairly round TDL that I like."
