"#4078 A pretty nice release and a well balanced one at the same time. Fruity with nice spices and well integrated ABV. I really like the light minty and floral note in the profile. The empty glass reveals some coffee and nuts."

"This evening, blind tasting. No difficulties on the nose (woody aromas, a touch of mint and a hint of tar and citrus peel) confirmed by the mouth: it will be a TDL. On the other hand, I was surprised because I didn't expect this one! Very nice bottling from Ferrand to discover the tdl a bit dirty but not too much, and at a great price. Really very successful. Thanks Michael for the sample👍😉"

"I've wanted to rate this rum so many times and couldn't quite bring myself to do it. I had expected more and was somewhat disappointed. I don't think it's bad, but it's not convincing either. Compared to the LMDR#4, which I tasted at the same time, the Plantation OTL falls noticeably short. The OTL is a little mintier, but overall cleaner, sweeter, thinner and less complex. Tropical and yellow stone fruit on the nose. The aromas are already similar to the LMDR#4, but much more restrained. The difference is even more pronounced in the mouth. The OTL is again lighter, thinner, sweeter and the alcohol is less well integrated. The aroma remains with the typical markers, the almond, which the 2002s also have in part, is also present here. The rum has brought the unique TDL profile closer to a wide audience, showing that it doesn't always have to be chocolate-caramel. The PLV is pretty good. I would always prefer the LMDW#4."

"Great mint note that pulls completely through the rum! Otherwise, I discover but unfortunately not much exciting, wood, spices and in the finish some black tea."
