    "After I tasted the rum solo yesterday and was quite impressed by it, it has to go up against another 2003 today: my choice is the CdI Caksus (RX11936), which I gave a whopping 89 points to back then. And what can I say: it has a really hard time against this brand new TDL from the still very unknown Bottler Spirit Gallery! If one is ahead on the nose and then the other 😉, although neither of them is yet highly recommended, but rather greets you shyly with slightly alcoholic vapors, the heavyweight from Spirit Gallery turns up the heat on the palate and literally pushes the Caksus against the wall. To put it plainly: the CdI Caksus gets the maximum palatable flavors out of the 56.3%, especially menthol, while the Spirit Gallery, by virtue of its (fairly well integrated) 60%, mainly presses a huge spice onto the palate (menthol plays a rather subordinate role). Conclusion: The Caksus TDL is more the light-footed, good-humored lightweight boxer who plays at the top of his class, while the Spirit Gallery TDL is the impetuous, somewhat fierce heavyweight boxer at the beginning of his career, who can hardly walk with power, but already has a lot of potential. A somewhat unequal fight, which fortunately still ends in a draw."

    "Impressive notes of cassis, plus the expected intense mint-menthol profile paired with spicy-woody barrel influences, which tend to act in the background - aromatically without the big fireworks, because the fruitiness is very much dominated by the blackcurrant, as mentioned, but that doesn't make the rum any less fascinating. Great, pronounced aromas, wonderfully round and oily mouthfeel - I like it very much."

    "This is a high-end TDL... it combines all the good flavors of mint, menthol, fruits, spices, herbs and sweetness. For me, it's comparable to the Rasta Morris... only one small drawback: the alcohol could be a little better integrated. But that only makes a small difference"

    "Édit : battle de TDL ! Pour moi le meilleur du lot. Le nez vient d’un autre monde, avec beaucoup de fuits, menthol, épices, de fruits jaunes et rouges notamment cassis et abricots séchés. La bonne bouche suit avec énormément de fruits, et un fond de sachet de thé. La menthe tourne à la chlorophylle et l’eucalyptus. La finale est sans fin. Bref, à ce jour mon meilleur TDL, puissant, complexe."
