Review by Morgan Garet
Excellent t.d.l., with an indulgent nose of caramel, vanilla and chocolate mixed with a touch of shoe polish and leather. On the palate, it's just as delicious, with a nice dryness on the tongue, and tropical fruits are also present. Dark chocolate mixed with a wilder side gives this juice a very interesting profile. You could stay for hours. Very long finish.

This is not a cheap rum but we'll worth the present price tag. A nicely balanced rum with a light dry touch to the palate. I may have to add a bottle to my collection. A very old lady indeed and a good one.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relativ dreckig und ganz leicht an caroni erinnernd. Dazu ungewöhnlich wenig Holz für einen 31y alten Rum. Sehr mild und ausgewogen, fast schon süffig! Alkohol top integriert. Lecker! Aber nicht unbedingt 400€+ wert. Dennoch der wohl bis dato für mich beste richtig alte "TDL" den ich probiert hatte. Würde mich nicht wundern wenn hier ein paar Schlücke Caroni mit rein gewandert wären! 😃

Blend avec du caroni ?
Review by Jakob
Über die Nähe zwischen TDL und Caroni wurde ja durch Steffens Buch schon detailliert berichtet. Aromatisch finde ich auch hier HTR-typische Noten vor und halte deshalb einen Blend aus TDL und Caroni für wahrscheinlich. Gefällt mir sehr gut, angesichts der Rahmendaten (Alterung, Geschmacksprofil) durchaus ein PLV-Tipp für mich - heute kosten weitaus weniger ausgewogene offizielle Caroni-Releases schon deutlich mehr. Im Direktvergleich zu anderen Caronis der gehobenen Kategorie natürlich etwas im Hintertreffen, aber für die zweite Reihe ein sehr ansprechendes Release.
Review by Oliver
Interesting "mixture" of Caroni and Foursquare. Nose very good. Palate can't quite keep up. A great experience.
Review by Johannes
Amazing! The 91 TDLs I know were rather boring so far and went in the direction of Foursquare. This one is a mix of a Caroni and a Foursquare. Definitely exciting!
