The Whisky Jury T.D.L The Many Faces of Rum TDL 2003 22yo
Mint — a lot of it. This 22-year Trinidad TDL is all menthol and cool mint, with yellow orchard fruit (mirabelle, litchi), a bit of tea, pepper and clear oak tannins from the long aging. At nearly 61% it's warm and dry, "charakterstark" but not perfectly balanced. One taster called it a letdown for lacking heavier notes; others loved the mint-forward power.
The community says- Loads of mint
- Dry, low sweetness
- Heavy notes missing

gefällt mir richtig gut! Ein Powehouse mit deutlichen Ecken und Kanten 💪 weit entfernt vom Einh*******i. Am Gaumen merkt man die lange Fasslagerung allerdings auch schon deutlich, es kommen ordentlich die Tannine durch…

Richtig viel Minze.
Review by Alexander Rasch
So langsam wird der Fasseinfluss bei den TDL2003 Abfüllungen deutlicher. Weit weg von den wilden Minz Monstern von CDI. In der Nase etwas verschlossen wirkt er gezähmt und sesshaft. Am Gaumen schön komplex mit einem kräftigen Körper. Hier kann er überzeugen, vor allem mit der ausgewogenen Verteilung von Aromen. Die Minze dominiert nicht komplett. Das Fass darf mit sprechen. Gefällt mir sehr gut, hat aber nicht mehr den Druck der alten jüngeren Abfüllungen. Was einem besser gefällt ist definitiv Geschmackssache.
Review by Djehey
For me, a disappointment. A simple framework of mint and yellow fruit with some chili added. Almost no heavy notes, which for me make these profiles really interesting. Finally, despite the 60°, the aromatic intensity and length are average...
Review by Dominic Lutz
Nase: Sehr komplexer TDL mit klaren T-Noten, Minze und leichtem Tee. Dazu deutliches Holz und spürbare Reife, der Alkohol ist präsent, aber nicht ganz perfekt eingebunden. Gaumen: Menthol/Minze und Würze sind sehr präsent, das Holz ist gut integriert und die Süße bleibt niedrig. Insgesamt trocken, charakterstark und mit leichtem Teer-Anklang. Abgang: Mittel bis lang, warm und kraftvoll, mit anhaltender Würze und Holz. Nicht perfekt balanciert, aber sehr stimmig und komplex. Die Minze hallt lange nach. Vergleich: Der Planteray TDL 2003 ist für mich einen Tick runder und zugänglicher, dazu preislich deutlich attraktiver.

Wer Minze mag wird ihn schätzen. 04/2004 spricht da für sich…
