Review by Dw117
We preferred it to Plenipotenzario and Caroni 21. Insanely fruity, heavy, dirty and intense. That was a sample so I puchased full bottle. I will update my review later.
Review by Jakob
Intense, deep aroma spectrum with a classic TDL profile for the vintage. Still with quite inviting caramel notes on the nose, which give way to a powerful mélange of cooling mint, ripe, citrusy-sweet tropical fruit, crisp spicy notes and smoky wood influences on the palate. Round, present, intense, demanding - absolutely worthwhile. A successful first selection for the Up Spirits Club.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, great part, the best for today to finish. Lots of herbs on the nose, mint and eucalyptus for example, but black tea is also recognizable. The palate is also predominantly herbal, but the 62.9% is barely recognizable. Top rum.
Review by Gianca Zil
I think the ratings on rum x are excessively low. Crazy value for money, an explosion in the mouth of mint and orange that you then find again on the palate with a slight extra woody note.. To be bought by the case!
Review by Gregor
Nase: Bleistift, Kräuter, Karamel, Alkohol gut eingebunden Gaumen: liebliche süsse, Schwarztee, Kräuter, Minze kommt sehr schön, Bleistift inkl. Holz und roter Farbe 😉 - frisch gespitzt, Zimt, Karamel, Cremig, Alkohol gut eingebunden, der cremige Schluss gefällt mir sehr gut, bleibt angenehm lang und erinnert an Werters Echte
Review by F.L.O.
Der TDL macht richtig Spaß. Kein outstanding Rum, aber bodenständig und alles was ein guter TDL braucht. Die Minze drängelt sich im Abgang massiv hervor und das Holz ist in der Nase richtig schön präsent. Daily sipper auf alle Fälle. Tolles PLV auf alle Fälle. ——- Ergänzung: after eight 😂
Review by Marcel.
Very nice rum, with an extremely good value. Strong lychee notes, flowery with sparkling wine some sherry, dried fruits and some pepper. The finish is very long and dry with cardboard and fermented flavors. Lychee is very dominant and present from nose to finish.
Review by Nils123
Very well done, it's fun.
Review by Werni
Verdammt war ich gespannt auf diesen Tropfen, und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Der hat ordentlich bumms. An der Nase zeigt er sich richtig rund muss ich sagen. Nachdem der Biss vom Alkohol verflogen ist und er sich geöffnet hat, kommt eine feine Würze zum Vorschein die sich bis in den Abgang zieht. Komischerweise hat die noch gar keiner erwähnt!? Bin ich anders? :-D Schwarztee,Orange und leichte Minze und runden die Sache ab, dazu noch eine feine Karamellnote die Süße dazu bringt. Diese Süße durchzieht zuerst den Gaumen, bevor wieder die Würze die Oberhand gewinnt, dazu Bitterorange, holzige Noten und Pfeffer, Schwarztee und Minze runden das Ganze wieder ab. Er kommt nicht ganz an die RA's heran, dafür fehlen ihn die dreckigen Noten, dieser hier begeistert durch seine Würze. Danke Richard das du mir die Möglichkeit gegeben hast daran teil zu haben.😘
Review by Rum Freund
Delicious TDL and the PLV is awesome! Nicely integrated mint note and well-integrated alcohol.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, the rum is really strongly characterized by mint. But it also has something dirty about it and could pass blind as a Caroni. A strong representative of the already remarkable 2009 vintage.
Review by Jarek
This is a nice little surprise, at a pleasant price. Typical TDL notes of mint, eucalyptus, tea and orange peel are there. The finish reminds me of a peach iced tea.
Review by Master P
Very complex and dense at first, mint, tobacco and caramel fruit. Dark on the palate, candied fruit, chocolate and barrel influence. A little alcoholic and warming on the finish. I think it's great given the PLV, you can taste the T.D.L profile straight away and after a few seconds there's a little sweet honey boost. Already well done👌
Review by Lukas Jäger
Very good TSP for little money. This is not the Champions League, but it's already qualified for Europe ;-) Nice tea notes, plus mint and eucalyptus and orange. Could be a little more complex and fatter on the tongue, the nose promises a little more. Nice first bottling for the Up Spirits Club!
