8.6/10

As usual, mint and menthol, very nice. Well-balanced rum; fruit, wood and spice with a clear herbal note work wonderfully here. Compared to other 2009 TDLs, it is also convincing. Solid with a very good PLV.

8.8/10

A real aroma bomb full of mint, a potpourri of tropical fruits and barrel influences, which add both bitterness and spiciness. This is flanked by a delicate sweetness that rounds off the release successfully for me. No, this is not easy sipping, it remains challenging, but also rewarding because it is multi-layered and aromatically lively - there is always something new to discover on the palate and the finish is also long-lasting. Great!

Schöne fruchtige Noten in der Nase. Am Gaumen ganz toll. Mango trifft leichte Minze. Macht richtig Spaß. Tolle Abfüllung, und zu dem Preis erst recht! Für mich ein richtiges Highlight! Edit: Der ist leider zu geil, den muss ich noch mal um 0.1 Punkte anheben. Edit2: Verkostet gegen den Vagabond Silva Collection TDL 200 / RX19262. In der Nase kommt der FRC sehr Fruchtig-minzig daher, der Vagabond eher rauchig-würzig. Am Gaumen der FRC dann wirklich sehr fruchtig, schön untermalt von den frischen Minzearomen, alles sehr harmonisch. Nicht außerordentlich komplex, aber sehr süffig. Ganz anders der Vagabond. Viele Kräuter, trockener und im direkten Vergleich wesentlich weniger fruchtig als der FRC, stärker im Antritt und auch etwas schärfer. Über allem liegt eine dezente Rauchnote. Der FRC wird mit etwas Wasser noch süffiger und easy-drinking als ohnehin schon. Zu viel Wasser sollte man ihm aber wohl nicht geben, sonst wird er zu flach. Der Vagabond wird mit etwas Wasser ebenfalls zugänglicher und gefällt mir so sogar etwas besser als pur. Der Alkohol beißt nicht mehr und er lässt sich besser trinken, seine einzelnen Facetten aus verschiedenen Kräutern und dezentem Rauch kommen besser zur Geltung. Im Abgang sind beide mittellang, der FRC mit mehr Frucht, der Vagabond mit mehr Kräutern. Unterm Strich würde ich sagen, dass der Vagabond vielleicht einen Ticken mehr Komplexität bietet als der FRC, der FRC mir persönlich aufgrund der besonderen Fruchtigkeit aber noch etwas besser gefällt. Beides tolle Abfüllungen, wobei der FRC das bessere Preis/Genuss Verhältnis bietet. Edit 3: Mit noch etwas mehr Luft einfach für mich der beste TDL 2009. Wahnsinns Teil!

2nd edit: Now also tested as a mixer, a really drinkable hit. Unfortunately, all the bottles are probably gone by now, otherwise I would have ordered more right away. Tasted briefly with Serge while sampling. First impression very good. Alcohol well integrated, which unfortunately makes it very drinkable. A very good price for what it delivers. Edit: also have a little taste like the other recently released FRC TDL in the finish, very subtle hemp taste, but of course not so extreme...

And the 3rd in 2009 after DramMor and TWJ... For me, it ranks between the two. In terms of characteristics, all three are quite similar and differ only in nuances. The FRC is not quite as present on the palate as the TWJ. The interplay between fruit and tea and herbs is not quite as balanced! All in all, these are three first-class bottlings
