Review by Tschusikowsky
Passion fruit and cassis combo. Very dense and concentrated in the mouth. Absolutely top, I like it very much. Very slightly salty and medicinal on the nose. Oily and syrupy. The finish is also good. Unfortunately disappointing on the nose.
Review by FischeJ
Mini sample during bottling. Very closed on the nose. Not much comes through at the moment. A little caramel, a little vanilla, a little mint. Very little fruit. But in the mouth it's full of wonderful mint and sweetness. Red fruit alongside. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Slightly mineral and more woody at the back (but not at all overloaded). Quite a short finish. Deduction in the B grade due to the nose. But great in the mouth. Let's see how it is at the next tasting.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is woody with smoky touch and notes like caramel, nuts, some spice like cinnamon and industrial with rubber. From fruits, we notice an orange. On aeration, a molasses is herbal and minty, with black tea, as the most obvious fruit us a cherry.Some medicinal notes pop up, as well as bacon. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is fruity with banana, mandarine and red fruits, woody, oily with roasted, a bit smoky, spicy wood notes like caramel burnt sugar, leather, cinnamon, vanilla, clove and industrial, medicinal with dirty notes, some menthol.The molasses is herbaceous.With resting, delicious peaches and currants join in. 8,4:The finish is long with dry, spicy and roasted smoky wood notes, a bit tannic, the industrial notes are quite heavy with petrol, rubber, menthol, they come a bit bitter.The fruits are dried apricots, raisins, currants, mango and citrus as the molasses brings tea, is earthy..
Review by Christian Rudt
We have a real mint bomb here in the glass. It really comes through when you give it a few minutes. In the very soft nose it is even less so on the palate, almost brutally engaging. It goes so far that it's almost too one-sided for me, even though it simply tastes very good.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Completely different profile to the Swell on Tour: Dirty, medicinal, a decent broadside of menthol, plus cassis / blackcurrant compote, sour cherry, smoky slightly bacony aromas almost, dark caramelized pearl onions... The nose is unfortunately relatively pungent from the alcohol even after almost an hour of breathing, the palate is okay but also not ideal from the alcohol integration. Therefore slight deductions. Exciting and intense profile, but nowhere near the level of tamosi's predecessor, the grandiose 2000 TDL. That was really terrific!🇹🇹
Review by Alexander Rasch
In der Nase verschlossen und eher zurückhaltend. Am Gaumen intensiv und komplex wirkt er angenehm dreckig und ölig. Bleibt mittellang im Mund, aber dafür schön lange trocken. Eine gemischte Kiste. Kein "In your Face" TDL wie manch ein CDI oder TWJ. Eher konzentriert und schwer. Gefällt mir individuell sehr gut, aber im Vergleich kann er nicht ganz mit anderen 2003er TDLs mithalten.
Review by kondgab
Maybe vanilla on the nose, but it is not really opening up for smelling. You can taste a nice oily texture along with mint and a hint of wood in the background.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Verkoste den Tamosi 2003 gemeinsam mit dem CDI 2003 für Premium Spirits und dem Swell 2003. Der Tamosi ist in der Nase sehr weich, mit Karamell, Politur und nur einem auch von Minze. Auch die gelben Früchte fehlen völlig, stattdessen gibt es Nüsse, süße Datteln, Muskatblüte und Ingwer - man könnte an Lebkuchen denken. Im Mund überrascht einen dann der Pfirsich, der in der Nase fehlt. Nicht sehr frisch, eher getrocknet und kandierte - wie das Orangeat im Lebkuchen. Auch getrocknete Mango. Die Minze macht sich weiter rar. Der Mund ist viel fruchtiger als die Nase, aber bei weitem nicht so brachial und frisch wie beim CDI für PS. Im Abgang kommt die Minze noch einmal länger durch. Mentholig, mit getrockneter Mango. Das ist sehr lecker. Der Rum gefällt mir sehr gut. Er ist harmonischer als z.B. der erste TWJ von 2003, er ist nich so Holzhammer mentholig wie andere CDIs, aber die fast schon spanisch-süße Nase kann mich nicht restlos überzeugen.
Review by Oliver
Classic 2003 T.D.L profile. With power and an eternal finish.
Review by zabo
I'm a bit torn right now. Definitely a bit better than the Swell last night. But it still can't really keep up with the Owl. I think something is bothering me a bit or I just can't cope with the profile at the moment.
Review by Johannes
Typical, very good TDL with that specific minty note. However, my sample unfortunately has a soapy off-note. I don't know whether this is due to my sample or to the rum itself.
