Even if the other tasters have not tasted this so I find this rum tastes and smells pleasantly of lychee. And I love the taste. I also liked the dominidad strangely much better than the rest of the tasters
simply the coolest thing there is from Trinidad TDL in my opinion. I have never experienced such a blatantly authentic tasting fresh and green mint note... as a friend says so beautifully. make an old fashioned with it and it comes out a mint julep. or leave out the mint in the mojito 🤣💥🤤 The longer you drink it, the more notes of lychee, lime juice and zest, Thai mango, iced tea, peach and lots of roasted flavors from the barrel are added, all accompanied by this fantastic mint and the incredibly well-integrated alcohol! For me, definitely the absolute TDL benchmark on the market!
I am speechless! Never would I have thought that a CDI could be so perfect. And beyond that I can say without hesitation: the best T.D.L. I have ever drunk! If at the nose still an interesting fresh-medical smell imposed itself, as one knows it from a dentist's office, then after opening the mouth in anticipation of the treatment, the mint mouthwash grabs you with power and does not let go even after swallowing. What rum!!! Name me a comparable, which shows no weaknesses like this 😉.
