Review by zabo
RumX Advent Calendar Day 13 Typical T.D.L characteristics recognizable from the start. In my opinion, it needs quite a while in the glass before it develops from well to very good. At first I was a little disappointed, but time has fixed it. Delicious piece. Thanks again for another rum that is very fine.
Review by DomM
Intense and complex on the nose. Plenty of fruits - I get white grapes and lychee - as well as hints of mint and herbs. Very nice! On the palate this is definitely on the lighter end of the range. Yet it is intense and tasty with mint, herbs and some fruits. Just not as dark and tea like compared to other bottlings. I like this one quite a bit.
Review by Basti
Kleines TDL (Blind-) Crosstasting mit diversen Vintages: Abgeschlagen auf Platz 6: Dram Mor TDL 2007. Insgesamt flach und langweilig, eher spanischer Stil. Platz 5: FRC TDL 2002. Viel Cannabis, Bier und Hopfen. Muss man drauf stehen und Bock drauf haben. Nase gefiel mir besser als am Gaumen. Platz 4: FRC TDL 2009. Verhaltene Minze, viel Gewürze und Fasseinfluss. Platz 3: Single Cask Nation TDL 2003: Insgesamt viel Minze und Menthol, leicht floral/pflanzlich. Sehr guter 2003er TDL, nicht ganz auf dem Niveau des Ricci im Quervergleich. Platz 2: Spiritori TDL 2008. Mit Abstand der dreckigste TDL im Tasting. Richtig gutes PLV! Platz 1: Ricci TDL 2003: Minze, Früchte und schön intensiv und komplex. Edit: Auch bei der 2. Verkostung richtig gut. Eine richtige Minzbombe!! Edit: Nach der 3. Verkostung nach wie vor sehr gut und ziemlich präsente Minze-Noten, leicht florale/blumig. Guter 2003er TDL, der jedoch nicht ganz oben mitspielt.

RumX-Adventskalender 13.12.2023 Blind tasting: Definitely T.D.L I'll narrow it down further: Vintage 2001, 2002 or 2003. And even more specific (no risk, no fun): RX15401 :wink: ==== All right, I was just a little off the mark. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a fine drop in my eyes.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
29.01.2022 Going through some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruity, cherry, light floral, faint nutts, light wood. Palate Balanced, light wood, faint smoke, honey, fruity, light cherry, faint peach, medium dry. Finish Medium long, light oily, fruits, raisin, faint honey, light floral.
Review by Mirco
Wunderbarer TDL (Einheitsbrei?, ja reiht sich zum Glück in diese Qualität ein) Das Profil gefällt mir, Minze, Menthol 👌🏼 Aber gepaart mit schöner Frucht wie Lychee und Kirsche aber auch weiteren Früchten. Interessant, das einige TDL eine leichte bis heftige Canabis Note aufweisen, so (ganz leicht) auch hier.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is medicinal with some rubber, menthol, flowery with strong elderflower, slightly fruity with grapes and grapefruit, yellow fruits with peaches and woody. On aeration, stronger fruits notes pop out like litchi, pineapple, green fruits, later citrus with perhaps bergamot.The wood is spicy and roasted with nuts, pastry, as a molasses helps with tea, licorice, herbaceous tones. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is fruity, flowery with dried figs, raisins, apricots, banana, pepper, roasted, smoky wood notes with nuts, leather, dark chocolate, a bit tannic, there is some menthol. Resting the rum helps with herbaceous, vegetal molasses, black tea, tobacco, sweet with honey.Some new fruit notes arise like green fruits, citrus with bergamot, prunes. 8,3:The finish is long, a bit imbalanced with dry, tannic notes, most of the palate tones linger on, we catch some new ones with passion fruit, cherry, pineapple, crunchy bread...
Review by mto75
On the nose there are dirty notes, alongside yellow fruits such as mango and passion fruit, caramel and a little menthol in the background. Also relatively fruity on the palate, rather tart on the back with barrel and tannins. A good 2003, which reminds me more of the Excellence Rhum bottling than the Whisky Jury
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser T.D.L ist extrem süffig bei hervorragender Qualität. An der Nase die typischen Menthol-/Minzaromen gepaart mit intensiven gelben Früchten. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich cremig und weich. Umspielt die Zunge mit einer mentholigen Süsse, der dann etwas Frucht und später Gewürze folgen. Der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden. Im Abgang dann wieder Minze und Würze im ausgewogenem Verhältnis. Ein weiterer Top 2003er T.D.L
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
This one is quite a treat. Nice grape juice on the nose with some flowers, distant coffee. On palate even more flowers but with dried fruit, some smoke and coffee, subsequent sips add intense menthol and spiciness. Overall feels not that concentrated, potentially missing a tropical aging, also medium finish at best. Overall very happy I got to buy a bottle.
Review by Mentalo
Auch das ist wieder eine schöne 2003er T.D.L Abfüllung. Wie eigentlich alle die ich bislang im Glas hatte. Wieder ganz viel Minze, würzig, fruchtig, dreckig. Aber auch minimal dünner als z.B The Whisky Jury.
Review by Rare Akuma
#24DaysOfRum2023 - Day 13 As expected from a TDL’03, the nose opens with a cooling sensation of eucalyptus leaves and crushed mint. It’s heavily aromatised with herbs, spices and flowers. Notes of pine tree bark, conifer and a little bit of clove. The heart reveals playful fruity notes of gooseberry and lemon juice. A rather sharp sensation tamed by sweet marzipan. Only at the very end you get some dirty diesel notes. Tip: do not agitate this rum too much. Let it rest then nose it sitting still. More robust on the palate. Continues very cool, but less zingy, more oily and with darker sugars. At the top still a ‘woodland sensation’ enriched with herbs and flowers. But dirtier than the nose suggested, perhaps even with a slight hint of smoke. The finish is in line with the rest of the experience; remains quite complex and medium in length. Wonderful experience.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Sehr gradliniger, zugänglicher TDL. Die Verdünnung ist (speziell im Direktvergleich) klar da, aber gut angepasst. Wennauch dünner wirkt er sehr passend. Sehr gute Trinkstärke. Eher eine Light-Version zu anderen Abfüllungen, aber durchaus positiv gemeint. Hat absolut seinen Reiz.

Review by Christian Rudt
Die Minze bringt einen schnell zu TDL hier finden sich allerdings viele florale Nuancen im Geschmack was mich mehr an Agricole denken lässt. Vorwiegend gelbfruchtig hat dieser Rum ein nicht zu kräftiges aber sehr angenehmes Profil.
