    We preferred it to Plenipotenzario and Caroni 21. Insanely fruity, heavy, dirty and intense. That was a sample so I puchased full bottle. I will update my review later.

    Intense, deep aroma spectrum with a classic TDL profile for the vintage. Still with quite inviting caramel notes on the nose, which give way to a powerful mélange of cooling mint, ripe, citrusy-sweet tropical fruit, crisp spicy notes and smoky wood influences on the palate. Round, present, intense, demanding - absolutely worthwhile. A successful first selection for the Up Spirits Club.

    Auto-translated

    Wow, great part, the best for today to finish. Lots of herbs on the nose, mint and eucalyptus for example, but black tea is also recognizable. The palate is also predominantly herbal, but the 62.9% is barely recognizable. Top rum.
