    Feine Parallelverkostung RX20517 und RX21400 Beide 2009er, beide 13 Jahre, beide um die 63%. Müssten sich also ähnlich sein. Ja, für die Nase stimmt das: beide leicht minzig, der TWJ etwas rauchiger, der Roots etwas holziger. Aber was für ein Unterschied am Gaumen! Der TWJ ist wirklich super nice, mit perfekter TDL-DNA, schön ausgewogen und minzig. Der Roots aber ist brachial! Minze pur. Fordert die Zunge richtig heraus. Es britzelt. Das mag ich sehr! Fazit: Es tut mir ein bisschen leid für den sehr guten TWJ, aber der knallende Roots ist der eindeutige Gewinner des Abends.

    erinnert mich an den Flensburg / Bottleshop TDL 2009. An der Nase fruchtig-süsslich, Karamell, Minze, auch paar dreckige Noten. Am Gaumen getoastetes Fass, Frucht (Mango), Menthol, leicht bitterer Abgang.

    Starkes Teil. In der Nase überwiegend Minze und schwarzer Tee. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls hauptsächlich Minze, und auch Menthol. Außerdem irgendwie seht intensiv dieser Rum. Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Starkes Teil.

    Significantly more roasted aromas and barrel influence than most T.D.L.s in crosstasting. A slightly perfumed attack on the palate, then wood, caramel, mint and a subtle sweetness. Alcohol well integrated. I like it very much.
