Swell de Spirits T.D.L Swell & Co. Cave VERSUS #25 2000
Sip this neat and give it air — it sits closed for a while, then opens onto ripe peach and mango, a cool menthol-eucalyptus streak, light demerara sugar and young oak. Several tasters note the blackcurrant only turns up on the second sip. A bright, fresh 25-year Trinidadian that one member rated "a cran above" the TWJ 2000.
- Ripe peach, mango
- Cool menthol freshness
- Great alcohol integration

How does Swell de Spirits T.D.L Swell & Co. Cave VERSUS #25 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Fresh, fruity, minty 25-year Trinidad pot still Members rate it highly and consistent: fresh peach, mango and a minty-eucalyptus lift over light oak. The only knock is a slight alcoholic edge on the nose and finish that fades with time.

Review by Johannes
Irgendwie anders als die klassischen 2000er TDls. Dieser hat so eine süße Pfirsich-Note, die mich an den TDl 2003 RX5971 erinnert.
Review by zabo
Getestet mit zwei T.D.L aus 2000, dem swell und den neuen TWJ. Ja, der Familie Ricci ist ein 2003, kann hier aber definitiv nicht mit den beiden anderen mithalten, da er für mich zu alkoholisch ist. Der TWJ ist im Gegensatz zum letzten Release von ihnen schon ein wenig besser. Als Fazit bleibt, dass der Swell und TWJ, als mich für nicht unbedingt größten T.D.L Liebhaber, gleich auf sind.
Review by Jacques etdom
Nez relativement fermé, il lui faut du temps. Puis des fruits jaunes et un caramel leger. En bouche, ca explose, des fruits bien murs, mangue et peche en tete. La finesse mais avec un tres joli peps. En toute de fin de bouche, un gros retour de mangue bien mure et juteuse (l element declancheur pour moi). Belle longueur. Un cran net au dessus du twj 2000 (1ere edition). Bref on ne s ennuie pas, un peps qui fait du bien sur un 2000, super choix. Bravo a swell et versus.
Review by Mc Pirate
Light color for a 2000, rich nose of pastries, plain flan, exotic fruits, and dried fruits. Very pronounced sugar, brown sugar, even Demerara. Frank and fresh on the palate with eucalyptus and a very subtle hint of menthol. It holds up remarkably well for a 2000, with custard on the finish. I was very intrigued not to find blackcurrant on the first sip... But that was before the second sip, when the blackcurrant returned to boost the aromas behind the hint of mint. Custard is part of this superb aromatic range. Medium-length, warm finish with alcohol!
