Review by Mirco
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.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Während 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.
Review by Vincent D
An 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.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly good TDL from Mezan, with an unusual amount of banana flavor.
Review by Djehey
A great success at a great price! It has a TDL profile, but with a touch of ester and smoke, giving it great depth. Menthol appears more in the middle and end of the palate, but is not predominant. Medium to short length.
Review by rum_sk
I had a high expectations for this one as I have heard it is minty. Well, no. Not really. It is more woody and spicy as it is minty. I mean yes, very very faintly you get a mint at the background during the finish but other than that, it is a typical tdl with full body which is good but unfortunately very very low on mint.

Alkohol dobre integrovan Špitál a dřevo
Review by Claes Nilsson
A little medicinal in both the nose and mouth. Shorter than I expected but quite nice. A lot of oak barrel
Review by Jacques etdom
Very representative of tdl, I think. On the nose, fairly intense tropical fruit and smoke (after aeration). The palate is faithful to the nose. However, you can feel the dilution. It's not complex, but given its price, we're not going to compare it to top-of-the-range tdl. Nevertheless, it's great value for money, really.
Review by Vladimír Bouček
Pleasant rum from Trinidad. Little smoky/roasted, more fruity afterwards. Mint is also slightly recognizable, but rather in the finish. Overall a really nice rum, especially when you consider its price.
