    How does this rum taste?

    Peach ice tea meets minty TDL power
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy fruity, minty TDLs like other 2002/2003 single casks, this is a dialed-up, well-aged version with extra depth and a long, satisfying finish.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to higher ABV, or buyers seeking either sweetened rums or a dramatically different profile from other 2002/2003 TDLs.

    Small TDL (blind) crosstasting, including three representatives from 2002. 1st Rx24532 - Swell for Taiwan 55.9% 2. Rx24534 - TWJ 56.1% 3. Rx23409 - V&M 54,1% For me, the Swell has the most mint on the nose and almost goes in the direction of 2003 TDLs (April Batch). The TWJ is fruitier, has more spices and subtle mint. The V&M is very similar to the TWJ on the nose. I can't go into too much detail here, as the three are already very similar and even more so on the palate than on the nose. Everything you'd expect is there, but for me the 2002 TDLs just don't deliver. To me they feel like 2003 TDLs (the minty ones from the April batch), but with the handbrake on. They're all delicious, but they lack that certain something. Especially in view of the prices. Both the CDI TDL 2003 (Rx1629) and the "TDL light" (New Grove - Fine Spirits) were more convincing in a direct comparison (blind - mind you).

    Tasted on a Sunday afternoon. (13/07/25) "What fruit!" - Enchanting nose, fresh, gourmand and very fruity. Notes of candied fruit (mango, passion fruit), also fresh with notes of red fruit, more blackcurrant. - This freshness is repeated on the palate, with the greediness of the fruit plus spicy, woody notes that add roundness. - Long finish To date, one of my great TDLs, led by this magical nose! Really no joke!

    #5668 14.09.2025 Tasting in Copenhagen with good friends. Nose Fresh, medium intense, balanced, fruity, mint, wood, faint smoke, spice, light cherry, faint floral. Palate Oily, warm, balanced, naturally sweet, wood, light roasted, light chocolate, light cherry, mint, spice. Finish Very long, wood, fruits, light dried fruit, light nutmeg, light chocolate, mint. This rum only gets better as it stands on the table, I hand warmed mine and then the mint really excells.

    Ein richtiger Pfirsich-Eistee mit viel Minze und Schwarztee. In Nase und Gaumen sind zudem die Aromen von getoastetem Fass/ Holz zu schmecken. Für die Süße sogen Honig und Karamell. Alkohol erstklassig
