Swell de Spirits T.D.L Wild Card Series #7 2003
Members who know 2003 TDL well call these column-still Trinidadians reliably good, and this one fits the mold without topping the class. The nose is caramel, vanilla and yellow fruit with a mint edge; the palate adds ripe mango sweetness and light oak. Clean, easy-drinking profile at cask strength — just don't expect the finish to hang around.
The community says- Easy drinking flow
- Ripe mango sweetness
- But: Short finish

How does Swell de Spirits T.D.L Wild Card Series #7 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Clean, mango-and-caramel TDL, short finish Well-liked as a clean, gourmand TDL with great drinkability, though several tasters knock the short, slightly weak finish and rank other 2003 releases higher.

Review by Skyfly
Von manchen als Einheitsbrei verschrien sind 2003er TDL regelmäßig erstklassige Rums im oberen 80er Bereich. Diese Abfüllung von Swell kommt dort leider nicht ran. Insbesondere der Abgang ist eher schwach.
Review by Jakob
Viel Column Still Profil mit Vanille, Karamell und dezenten Zitrusnoten. Dazu etwas Minze, reife Tropenfruchtsüsse von Mangos - sehr einladendes Profil mit tollem Trinkfluss. Richtig leckeres Release.

Diesen 2003er TDL im direkten Vergleich mit dem Planteray 2003er TDL (RX23888) probiert. Schönes Bernstein. Dunkler als die Vergleichsprobe. In der Nase würzige, karamellige Aromen. Leichte Süsse und leicht Alkohol. Wird mit der Zeit schön würzig rund. Am Gaumen kommt auch zuerst diese Aromatik zum tragen, dann jedoch auch leichte Minze, leichtes Holz abgerundet mit schöner Fruchtsüsse. Insgesamt ein sehr sauberes Profil und macht Spass zu trinken. Der Planteray im Vergleich dazu ist deutlich minziger und milder. Leeres Glas mit deutlicher Vanille-Note.
Review by Jacques etdom
Au nez du caramel, des fruits jaunes avec la peche en tete, un leger boisé et une touche de menthe. Une bouche tres gourmande, avec toujours la presence du caramel et de la peche. La menthe est un peu plus presente qu au nez. Quelques fruits rouges font leur apparitio en fin de bouche. Finale un peu courte. Un tdl glouglou assez leger et detendu, mais tout de meme agreable. A noter que le nez evolue bien entre deux gorgées.
