Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at SDR’24 On the nose fresh, fruity and playful with notes of fresh peaches, lemon gratings and both fresh mint and artificial menthol. With more time and air, interwoven parts of herbal tea, sugared nuts and old leather appear. In the mouth incredibly impactful and quite dirty. First fruity and cool with the same notes as on the nose, but dialed up to a 100 and firing from all engines. Then extremely herbal and heavy with medicinal notes entering the field. The back of the palate is dominated by parfum, thyme and a petrol chaser. The finish is long, concentrated and dirty. Fresh, yet heavy, with more lemon zest and eucalyptus as well as pinetree, petrol and molasses syrup. Quite a rare thing to find in Europe, but what a flavour bomb.
Review by Timo Groeger
Starkes Teil. In der Nase überwiegend Minze und schwarzer Tee. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls hauptsächlich Minze, und auch Menthol. Außerdem irgendwie seht intensiv dieser Rum. Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Starkes Teil.

Navzdoru obsahu alkoholu jemné a intenzivní.
Review by DeMaddin
Sehr reichhaltig und schwer, mit viel Minze, geprägt von schönen tiefen und dreckigen Aromen, vorzüglicher 2009er TDL.
Review by Basti
Significantly more roasted aromas and barrel influence than most T.D.L.s in crosstasting. A slightly perfumed attack on the palate, then wood, caramel, mint and a subtle sweetness. Alcohol well integrated. I like it very much.
Review by F.L.O.
Cremiger TDL Mittler for China. Die typischen TDL Mentholnoten sind vorhanden und super lecker. Dazu ein bisschen Frucht und eine leichte Cremigkeit (aber keineswegs so enorm wie beim Katzen TDL 😂). Der Alkohol ist toll eingebunden. Wäre mir eine Flasche wert.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Feine Parallelverkostung RX20517 und RX21400 Beide 2009er, beide 13 Jahre, beide um die 63%. Müssten sich also ähnlich sein. Ja, für die Nase stimmt das: beide leicht minzig, der TWJ etwas rauchiger, der Roots etwas holziger. Aber was für ein Unterschied am Gaumen! Der TWJ ist wirklich super nice, mit perfekter TDL-DNA, schön ausgewogen und minzig. Der Roots aber ist brachial! Minze pur. Fordert die Zunge richtig heraus. Es britzelt. Das mag ich sehr! Fazit: Es tut mir ein bisschen leid für den sehr guten TWJ, aber der knallende Roots ist der eindeutige Gewinner des Abends.
Review by mto75
erinnert mich an den Flensburg / Bottleshop TDL 2009. An der Nase fruchtig-süsslich, Karamell, Minze, auch paar dreckige Noten. Am Gaumen getoastetes Fass, Frucht (Mango), Menthol, leicht bitterer Abgang.
Review by Schnubbi
Beautiful 2009 TDL with the typical minty-fruity aroma profile. Very tasty, but for my taste does not stand out much from other typical representatives of this vintage.
