Vagabond Spirits Utopia 2024

Mint first — a lot of it — then coconut, milk chocolate and a slightly dirty, heavy edge underneath. This is a blend: the mentholated, oily TDL from Trinidad up front, with a softer, chocolatey Belize rum rounding it out. Most tasters find the two styles genuinely complement each other, with fruit and vanilla emerging as it opens. The 59% shows, and the finish divides people.

TDL trifft auf Belize, das hatte ich so noch nicht im Glas. Hatte ich bis jetzt auch nicht für nötig empfunden =D Nach der zweitem Verkostung muss ich sagen, dass die Mischung für mich sehr gut passt. So unterschiedlich die beiden Komponenten auch sein mögen, so gut ergänzen sie sich. Den Startschuss am Gaumen macht ein dreckiges TDL Profil, begleitet von der typischen Minznote. Irgendwann fruchtet sich die Milchschokoladen- Kokosnuss aus Belize in das Aromenspektrum, bis der, leider flache, Abgang wieder in Minze umschlägt. Jeder Schluck scheint anders zu sein. Dieser Rum lädt zum experimentieren am Gaumen ein. Super!

Superbe équilibre entre un TDL lourd et fruité, et un Bélize gourmand et puissant!

TDL meets Belize for a blend. Zu Beginn auch ordentlich Minze Minze Minze 😀, Kokos (und Belize) lassen sich bei mehrmaligen riechen aber auch gut erkennen. Am Gaumen treffen sich dann irgendwie zwei Welten. Das wirkt interessant wenn auch nicht perfekt. Hinten raus wirkt dann vor allem der Belize Anteil nach, es wird fruchtig trocken natürlich mit Minze. Schöne Utopie.

Extremely successful blend. The typical TDL mint notes in a somewhat softened form. Slight coconut-Belize notes in the finish.

Gelunges Experiment. Man merkt die Minze vom TDL und den Kokos vom Belize. Grade wenn man den puren TDL von Vagabond Spirits zum Vergleich nimmt merkt man den Belize Einfluss. Alkohol durchaus präsent, aber für 59% ABV voll im Rahmen. Der Blend gefällt mir sehr gut.

Utopia… das trifft es ganz gut… was für ein Blend… erstaunlich wie gut diese Mischung zwischen TDL und Belize harmoniert. Nichts dominiert, beide Stile kommen durchaus zur Geltung und vereinen ihre Vorzüge! Mir gefällt es

Frucht und Kräuter in der Nase. Am Gaumen ergänzen sich Minze und Kräuter vom TDL gut mit der Würze des Belize-Anteils. Nicht übermäßig komplex, aber ziemlich rund und lecker. Der Abgang dann nicht übermäßig lang, mit Süßholz und Kräutern. Unterm Strich ganz lecker, aber auch kein Benchmark.

Leicht minzig-fruchtiges TDL Profil trifft auf Kokos-Kakao (und leider etwas alkoholisches) Belize Profil. Hat mich an der Nase etwas mehr abgeholt als am Gaumen. Nicht schlecht aber brauche ich jetzt auch keine Flasche von.
