Dugas T.D.L La Maison du Rhum #5 2009
Highly praised as a solid, typical TDL: fruity, woody, slightly smoky with hints of mint. Not the most complex, but delicious and great value for a 13‑year, 53% Trinidad rum.
Fans of classic TDL who want a fruity, woody Trinidad rum at a fair price, with a bit more strength than standard 40–46% daily sippers.

Dasselbe wie Batch 4. Prima daily Sipper, aber auch hier/besonders hier nochmal etwas weniger Komplexität zum #4er durch noch mehr Verdünnung. Dennoch dieselbe schöne DNA wie alle Abfüllungen nach 2000.
Auto-translatedWährend ich diesen Rum ursprünglich recht Anspruchsvoll fand, sehe ich das jetzt anders. Besonders verglichen mit anderen Abfüllungen aus dem Jahrgang (FRC) ist er deutlich verhaltener. Besonders ausgeprägt ist der Klebstoff an der Nase.
Auto-translatedAn unsurprising TDL featuring the usual hallmarks of this distillery: tropical fruits, wood, spices and menthol, which remains rather discreet here. On the palate, the alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but remains pleasant.
