"A very pleasant, probably rare TDL with all the typical markers, but in my opinion none of them stand out, so the rum is finely balanced. However, I find this TDL lacks a bit of oomph overall, the originality of RdL No. 42 (RX15565), for example. For me, TWJ's bottling is a solid mid-range TDL in a bottle with another wonderful design. Update 2024-09-17: After tasting RX20026 yesterday, I just had to pour myself RX21416 again today for comparison and can now say that the 5 points more for the RX21416 are justified in my eyes. Although the rum doesn't offer quite as much warm fruit on the nose as RX20026, it has significantly more mint and menthol on the palate and therefore more typical TDL DNA - I like that."
"Again a very inviting nose with vanilla, caramel, yellow fruits and mint. Very round and accessible overall. This continues on the palate. The alcohol is perfectly balanced. Not the most complex T.D.L., but definitely delicious."
"Ein Rum bei dem ich mir noch nicht sicher bin… finde ich den lecker und besonders ausgewogen oder vielleicht etwas langweilig. Am Anfang fehlen noch Ecken und Kanten, mit der Zeit entdeckt man aber paar interessante Facetten. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden, was allerdings bei 55% leichter fällt. Den muss ich nochmals allein probieren."
"Wahnsinnig tolles 2002 Vintage. Selten so eine intensive Sauerkirsch Note im Rum erlebt, gepaart mit dezenter frischer Krause-Minze, geriebenem gefrorenen Pfirsich und etwas Vanille, sowie Tannine wie von kräftigem Earl Grey Tee. Hammer!"
