Very nice profile. Like a light Caroni with notes of mint.

Review by DomM
Much rounder on the nose versus the both Cadenhead‘s. Less harshness and umami notes with rounded edges. Vanilla is more accentuated in this one with a vanilla creme vibe to it. Also very well balanced on the palate with fruits, crème brûlée and woodiness. All working very well together.
Review by mto75
worlds better than the 91 / 26yr SBS TDL.
Review by Lot-NAS
The nose is pretty boring and kind of generic. And you wouldn’t be expected this kind of sweet thick palate with caramel in all variations and dried fruits, vanilla and a lot of wood. Probably not the most complex one but overall a really great TDL.
Review by Mentalo
It needs time in the glass, but then it positively surprised me with its dirty notes, mint and light sweetness.
Review by Filip Šikula
Na slepé bych celkem s jistotou řekl, že to může být caroni. Špinavá těkavá vůně s drobným náznakem máty. Po napití přetrvávají technické chutě, které mám opravdu rád. V těsném závěsu sw dostaví máta a závěr je dlouhý, sladký a moc fajn. Alkohol integrován perfektně.
Review by Jarek
Quite tasty but not outstanding and unspectacular. Nice nose, pleasing and sweet on the palate. Alcohol stings a little. Addendum: After a longer time in the glass, it becomes more interesting. A few notes reminiscent of a light Caroni appear on the nose, but the sweet notes tend to recede into the background.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
In itself an interesting, really old TDL with slight Caroni overtones... Overall, however, it seems strangely watered down. The finish is relatively medicinal and dirty, with notes of tropical fruits and again a lot of mint! Not bad, but on the other hand it doesn't really get me...
Review by Johannes
Somehow unround. A mixture of a longer stored, diluted neutral alcohol with a little menthol.
Review by JFehr
Ausgewogen, aber etwas belanglos. Warm und minzig
Review by Pavel Spacek
After years the rum is mild but the mint profile disapeared
