Review by Tschusikowsky
Chocolate, mango, peach, tropical fruit, tobacco, generally very fruity, tropical, not Jamaican but different, dry on the nose, associations with sweetness, but it's not really sweet. In the mouth, tobacco, tea, red fruits, licorice, orange peel, passion fruit, rubber frogs, subtly woody. Tastes like tropical iced tea...dangerous. Alcohol well integrated, for 64% a somewhat light finish but lasts a long time, changes flavors. In the finish still pome fruit, slightly smoky, black tea, mint. Time to breathe is recommended and a drop or two of water would also suit it well. A very successful TDL bottling that is fun to drink. More fruity in profile compared to the CDI.
Review by RumTaTa
Interesting filigree, fruity-sweet and flowery nose! Strangely enough, there seems to be more behind the light aromas than the nose reveals. I'm looking forward to the first sip! Oh yes, there is hardly anything delicate on the palate! At first, the alcohol really comes into its own and gradually the typical TDL markers emerge: spice, mint, herbs, black tea, eucalyptus. The finish is harmonious with the impression on the palate. The barrel notes and herbs remain present for a long time and the fruitiness (passion fruit!) fades. I really like this TDL because it is so beautifully floral and restrained and elegant on the nose but really packs a punch on the palate!
Review by Thunderbird
This T.D.L 2005 is a great bottling. So young and yet so full-bodied. The nose is not quite as pronounced as the palate, but gives you a hint of what is to come. Fresh mint/eucalyptus paired with burnt caramel and a juniper/gin note. Very promising. It then shows its potential on the palate, as these flavors are wonderfully alternated in the mouth without one dominating too much. Perfect! The finish is of medium length and here, too, the aforementioned aromas gently fade out.
Review by cigares
A nose you have to dwell on to really appreciate. Lots of fruit, peach, very fresh. A soft attack on the palate, a salty side, lots of different kinds of fruit. Like an aroma, especially of cold peach tea. The finish is long, woody with a tannic edge.
Review by mto75
The Rhum Attitude is somehow a little restrained on the nose, and at a proud 64.1%. What I make out goes in the direction of yellow fruit, cream candy, shortbread, mint. The palate is different, the power comes out immediately, with passion fruit, cappuccino, caramel, cask, salty at the back... From memory, I would say that the Swell 2005 TDL was a whole lot better...
Review by Mentalo
My first 2005 T.D.L . More elegant than the 2001 and 2003 vintages from the distillery. Needs some time in the glass, but then gets a nice black tea note with peach and mint. Slight sweetness.
Review by Basti
Die Nase gibt nicht sonderlich viel her und es wirkt eher so als hätte man einen Spanier im Glas. Ein Hauch Minze lässt sich erahnen, aber leider macht sich auch der Alkohol bemerkbar. Ist mir in Summe etwas zu langweilig. Da gibt es deutlich spannendere und komplexere TDL.
Review by zabo
All in all, a beautiful 2005 T.D.L, just as you would expect. The only point of criticism is the nose, which is very restrained. On the palate, however, there is a bit more going on. The markers are clearly recognizable and bring pleasure. From memory, it passes the Private Garden #4 from Swell.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Caramelized nectarine and petrol and burnt sugar on the nose, as well as some juniper. The taste is then intensely passion fruit, peach and mint iced tea and again minimally of petrol and caramelized nectarine. Somehow also like salty, greasy peanut butter in the finish... Very exciting, unusual and delicious TDL! If it weren't for the petrol note, the rating would be significantly higher....
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow a really nice TDL here. Has a really great nose consisting of mint and eucalyptus. Only very subtle but really nice and refreshing. The palate is also predominantly mint and eucalyptus, but also sugar and black tea.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = de l'orange, de la mangue, du boisé, de la noix, des épices, un peu de fruits rouges et de notes végétales. 👄 = l'alcool est bien là, il réchauffe mais sans être envahissant. L'aération lui a fait le plus grand bien. Avec du poivre, de la vanille et des notes de fumée, les fragrances de ce rum TDL se retrouvent en bouche dans une harmonie grasse finissant sur une belle longueur.
Review by w00tAN
T.D.L. Time. In der Nase fast ein bisschen unscheinbar. Leichte Vanille, gebrannter Zucker, frische Minze. Im Mund dann aber komplex fruchtig nach Orange, Schwarztee, Holz, Röstnoten am Ende Kräuter und Minze mit kräftigem langen Abgang. Sehr lecker, die schwache Nase wird durch das Mundgefühl auf jeden Fall kompensiert. Das PLV ist super in meinen Augen.
Review by Eric Frechin
Très bon rapport qualité/prix pour un tdl de cet âge.c est très porté sur les fruits rouges et évolution vers le litchi , puis pêche et mangue. Des notes de sucre brun en cristaux viennent et repartent , et s installent dans la longueur en bouche. Il y a une fraîcheur dans ce rhum qui me rappelle l eucalyptus. Le léger moins, alcool un peu présent.
Review by Jakob
For me, the rum is increasingly gaining ground - still a little staid on the nose, but with great cooling notes on the palate and especially in the finish, which are not yet recognizable in this depth in the mouth. On the palate, there is a very appealing spectrum of wood, caramel and vanilla sugar, mint, some roasted aromas, plus mint tea and cooling eucalyptus notes. Delicious.
Review by Filip Šikula
Degustační kalendář Pavla Špačka vol. 4. Příjemný mátový trinidad. Hezky integrovaný alkohol kde bych vůbec neodhadl ABV. V chuti i v nose černý čaj, broskev, máta a dřevo. Celé je to jemné s příjemné.
