    Troisième collaboration entre Swell de Spirits et le Bar 1802, ce TDL surprend avec son profil classe tout en contraste. Le nez est plutôt discret de prime abord, jouant sur la carte du raffinement avec de subtiles notes pâtissières (amande, miel, un côté confit), quelques épices douces (vanille) et un chêne bien intégré. Les fruits montent en puissance doucement avec les fruits secs (raisin) et jaunes (mangue) mais restent clairement en retrait. C’est un véritable renversement de situation en bouche : on assiste à une explosion de fruits, de la pêche, de l’abricot, des fruits rouges, du cassis et de la goyave notamment font le show dans le palais. Les épices font chauffer la bouche, tandis que le menthol arrive de façon inattendue pour offrir un joli feu d’artifice sensoriel. Le profil est clairement plus intense, l’alcool reste bien intégré malgré un léger piquant. La finale est longue et reste sur l’impression de fin de bouche, à la fois chaude, épicée et boisée mais avec une grande délicatesse. Les fruits et le menthol sortent par la petite porte mais le côté pâtissier revient donner un surplus de gourmandise. Un TDL très élégant au profil varié qui ravira les fans du genre, preuve encore de la qualité de la sélection de l’embouteilleur et du bar.

    Encore un travail magnifique de swell et le 1802, un profil différent, avec une attaque et une finale très différente, une évolution phénoménale, presque surprenante, au départ gourmand et caramélisée pour devenir une bombe de mangue et de fruits jaunes
