How does CDI T.D.L Le Trésor de l'ours (Le bar de l'ours) 2012 taste?

Aggregated from 11 community reviews.

Solid but divisive TDL-style sipper For curious explorers ready for a drier, 53% TDL-style molasses rum. Community notes speak of caramel, cocoa, toasted oak and some coconut, better after rest in the glass, mainly as a contemplative sipper.

Perfect for

Fans of moderately intense, dry-ish molasses rums who enjoy caramel, dark chocolate, toasted oak and a hint of coconut, and don’t mind a profile that diverges from classic TDL markers.

Less suitable for

Those sensitive to alcohol heat, expecting textbook TDL DNA, or looking for a rich, sweet, thick-textured sipper.

7.5/10

Die Nase ist nicht so schlecht, wenn auch nicht so TDL typisch. Ich meine auch hier eine leichte Wein-Note wahrzunehmen. Am Gaumen finde ich ihn etwas sauer und ich würde drauf tippen, dass er im Weinfass (Madeira!?) lagerte. Für mich leider keine TDL-DNA erkennbar und holt mich in Summe nicht so ganz ab.

An excellent TDL with a lovely nose (once rested in the glass), a powerful, greedy and fruity palate, and a fairly long finish.

Der zweite heute wieder ein T.D.L Nach dem ersten Eindruck hätte ich nie gedacht, dass dies ei. T.D.L sein soll. Die Nase nur fruchtig, etwas Kokosnuss ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen erster Eindruck: Schokolade und Karamell. Mit der Zeit kamen dann noch Holz und auch leichte Minze hinzu.

Ouch 🤕 Nose : close to nothing Mouth : Very very thin, watery, sweet. It's wood juice. I wish I could tell nice thing about this rum but I can't. Reminds me of the latest "cheap" TDL from Vallinch and Mallet, not a compliment.

Das ist ein TDL? Blind wäre ich da nie drauf gekommen. Typische Noten fehlen komplett. Kokosnuss lässt eher auf Barbados oder Belize schliessen. Guter und solider Rum, aber holt mich nicht vollends ab.
