Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose, the first impression we get are roasted wood notes with burnt sugar, caramel, roasted nuts, a bit spicy, there is some vegetal molasses.At first there is almost no fruit, except citrus. We could also notice some metallic note. On aeration, dried and tropical fruits come out, toasted coconut, chocolate and menthol. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity and woody with red, yellow fruits, roasted and spicy wood with sweet honey, candied caramel, then dried fruits and more medicinal notes like rubber and menthol, bitter with molasses.After resting the rum, fruits are tropical with kiwi, banana.There are also nuts, vanilla and burnt sugar, it becomes tasty and it is more round now. 8,1:The finish is long, more industrial like with bitter, dirty notes of rubber, waxes, plastic and tar, a bit mineral, woody with spice, vegetal molasses and tropical and dried fruits..
Review by Timo Groeger
Sehr leckerer Rum. In der Nase hat man hier junges Holz und gebrannten Zucker. Am Gaumen überwiegt dann für mich der gebrannte Zucker. Man kann aber auch das Holz und das Fass schmecken. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Daumen hoch.
Review by Mentalo
Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden. Geht Richtung spanischen Stil mit Schokolade und Karamellnoten. Bleibt aber sehr flach und T.D.L hätte ich blind nicht gewusst. Da gibt es meiner Meinung deutlich spannendere Abfüllungen von T.D.L
Review by Alex Kunath
Farbe: Goldenes Bernstein Nase: Karamell, Verbrannten Zucker, leicht alkoholisch stechenden in der Nase Gaumen: Zuerst recht stark, intensiv, etwas strittig. Dann Schokolade, Leder und dunkle Traubennoten. Fazit: Er erinnert mich sehr an einen Rum aus Belize. TDL hätte ich blind nicht getippt. Der Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Grdsl ein solider Rum, aber auch nichts besonderes.
Review by Johannes
Sehr alkoholisch, viel Column, etwas wenig Geschmack.
Review by Rumpalumpa
An der Nase nicht besonders viel zu vermerken. Primär junges Holz, was mich eher an einen "spanischen" Rum erinnert. Am Gaumen kommt dann aber deutlich mehr. Aber wieder sticht nichts groß heraus oder lässt TDL erahnen. Dennoch lecker.
