Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Very pleasantly surprised! I've actually never had an Angostura in a glass before, so it was the best idea to taste this rum blind first. When I smelled it, my first association was that it must be a kind of TiPunch, with a very present, inviting citrus note. On the palate, it was a pleasantly spicy rum, not necessarily fruity. It wasn't until I could taste a lot of mint towards the end that I was relatively certain that it must be a TDL, one of the later ones (2008-2010). All right, very close - or maybe not. 😉 But that doesn't detract from my assessment at all: what a great rum with only 44.7%! 😋

Mint, too much
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4777 11.07. 2024 Relaxing evening with some nice liquids 😊 Nose Wood, complex, spice, apple, roasted, faint chocolate. Palate Wood, light roasted, medium spicy, complex, spices, light apple, light dried fruit. Finish Medium to long, medium spicy, complex, wood, light roasted, light dried fruit. The empty glas has vegetal and light medicinal notes as well as a light cherry note. Rather complex rum despite the relative low ABV.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Typische Angostura Aromen die evtl. etwas intensiver daher kommen. Etwas erdiger und mehr Minze. Wirkt erst etwas alkoholisch, was sich mit der Zeit im Glas verbessert. Ansonsten nichts besonderes, aber auch nicht schlecht. Ohne direkten Vergleich gefällt mir der 1787 etwas besser, da die Reduzierung dem Rum eher gut tut. Was das über die Qualität sagt, bin ich mir nicht sicher. Insgesamt solide, aber wer schon andere Angostura Abfüllungen kennt oder sogar hat, findet hier nicht viel neues. Etwas schade.
Review by Djehey
Carrément sympa mais beaucoup préféreront les versions plus musclées de nos chers embouteilleurs indépendants. Ce qui est intéressant c'est cette note de poire qu'on trouve tout au long de la dégustation.

T.D.L Angostura Tribute Distiller's Cut je jedinečný rum s bohatými kořenitými a ovocnými tóny. Ve vůni lze cítit koření, kůži, jablko a svěží citrusové akcenty. V chuti se objevují sušené ovoce, kořenitost, mátové tóny a dřevitá praženost, doplněná o jemný lékařský nádech. Tento rum zaujme svou vyváženou kombinací ovocných a kořeněných tónů s jemným dřevitým podtextem. English: T.D.L Angostura Tribute Distiller's Cut is a unique rum with rich spicy and fruity notes. The nose features spices, leather, apple, and refreshing citrus hints. On the palate, dried fruit, spiciness, minty tones, and woody roast emerge, accompanied by a subtle medicinal touch. This rum captivates with its balanced combination of fruity and spicy tones, complemented by a gentle woody undertone. Deutsch: T.D.L Angostura Tribute Distiller's Cut ist ein einzigartiger Rum mit reichen würzigen und fruchtigen Noten. In der Nase zeigen sich Gewürze, Leder, Apfel und erfrischende Zitrusakzente. Am Gaumen treten Trockenfrüchte, Würze, minzige Töne und geröstete Holznoten hervor, begleitet von einem dezenten medizinischen Hauch. Dieser Rum begeistert durch seine ausgewogene Kombination aus fruchtigen und würzigen Noten mit einem sanften holzigen Unterton.
Review by FischeJ
Strong TDL notes...mint, mint stems, caramel, vanilla, some red fruit. Quite full for "only" 44.7% ABV. Great drinking strength. A little too bitter on the finish for me. Reminds me of chewing on mint stalks. Quite a long finish though. Great bottling and unexpectedly tasty.

Review by Johannes
Erstaunlich gut und intensiv für die wenigen Prozente, typische TDL-Minznoten. Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!
Review by R Wehner
Nose almost only dark (woody) spice, angostura scent; tongue slightly biting, slight sweetness somehow, there is a lot to discover... strong barrel influences, nice finish
Review by Cedric Ries
Great rum! Gets a really intense mint flavour which evoluates a long time. I really enjoy this one, one of my favourites so far!
Review by Balu
Komplexer Rum mit Biss (Schärfe), starke Fruchtnoten erinnern an Sherry, Rotwein
Review by Old Sport
Smell: hairspray, nail polish, solvent, pear, plum, mirabelle Taste: fruit seeds, spices, basil, mint, chamomile, Finish: basil, mint, spices, hops, orange peel I know that my notes sounds weird, but this is what I were smelled 🤷
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
First good angustura. Very menthol and rubbery taste (in a good sense)
