Powerful TDL with a clear, rather serious style. Dark fruit, molasses, leather and spicy wood on the nose, with a slight mineral note. Dense and dry on the palate with spice, tobacco, some bitter orange and a noticeable woody spiciness. Medium mint level. Concentrated and demanding, less focused on elegance than on structure. Not a simple sipper, but an honest, powerful Trinidad rum with depth and character.
Ah ce TDL est vraiment passionnant. Le 2009 dans le fût de 2003 qui a bien marqué, il est encore plus lourd qu'en début d'année, ultra chargé, empyreumathique, complexe. Un max de fruits, un côté très heavy, du menthol, quelques épices, une finale légèrement adoucie pas le chocolat au lait. Banger!
Offers much of the typical heavy TDL profile with intense mint aromas, dark fruits and tart wood and spice notes. Quite intense sweetness, which on the one hand is conducive to the drinking flow, but on the other is somewhat overwhelming. Thanks to its sophisticated complexity, however, this is a convincing release, even if it is clearly behind the first TDL from Spirit Gallery.
On the nose: Very greedy, with pep. Ripe exotic fruit, lovely acidity that brings freshness, almost pastry-like, and a real fruity sensation. On the palate: A lovely contrast between the fruit and a touch of menthol that adds relief. It's expressive, intense, carried by tangy fruit and a fine structure, with menthol as a common thread.
