Review by Basti
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.
Review by Tintin88
An excellent TDL with a lovely nose (once rested in the glass), a powerful, greedy and fruity palate, and a fairly long finish.
Review by Timo Groeger
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.
Review by Thomas Renoud
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.
Review by Mirco
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.
