Review by Leo Krüper
Great old TDL. I like the 91 style that comes across like a continental Caroni.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the wood is roasted, toasted with smoke and burnt sugar. Bourbon yellow fruits, dried fruits are mixed with medicinal notes as plastic, wax and tar. Aeration brings out caramelized roasted nuts, cappuccino, vanilla and perhaps toffee notes and perfume Umami comes out after nice rest, as honeyed molasses and tropical fruits with maracuja, citrus as mandarine. Later we could find marzipan and tea also. All is balanced and complex. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is fruity and spicy with syrupy yellow fruits, citrus like mandarine and pepper, roasted wood and salty. We get nice, tasty chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla in play with medicinal notes as tar, plastic, petrol. After some rest, tannins are present, the rum becomes dry and after darker with molasses, black tea, licorice and dried currants Complex and round. 8,6:The finish is long, woody and fruity with dried fruits, dry. The palate notes linger on, tannins also stay.... Very pleasant rum 🙂👍...
Review by DomM
On the nose the 24y and 25y Cadenhead‘s bottling are very close. Woody and some umami notes with a hint of fruity notes (grapes). On the plate both are again similar: Quite balanced on the palate with more vanilla and sweetness as well as fruits. The 25y gravitates a bit mir towards roasted and woody notes. Both very enjoyable.
Review by Dr.Django
Today there are 3x T.D.L 1st Cadenhead's 1991, 24yo: Typical T.D.L profile. More on the woody side with yellow fruits. The alcohol is well integrated. The usual dirty notes are also present. The finish is quite dry and medium-long, with increasingly dirty aromas. It lacks a little complexity. 85 pts. 2nd Rome Deluxe 2002, 20yo: Equally typical T.D.L profile. This time much less wood and not as dirty, but much fruitier. The alcohol is very well integrated, petrol mint in the long finish. Reminds me off the top of my head of the 2009 T.D.L from TheWhiskyJury. Very tasty! Now I'll have to find a whole bottle of it =P 88 pts. 3rd Blackadder 2005, 16 yo: A bottling that I didn't have on my radar until now. It also goes more in the dirty direction. There is no trace of bright fruit here. A great contrast to the Rome Deluxe. The finish is sharp compared to the other two, and the alcohol is not as well integrated. More complex than the Cadenheads. Too bad about the spicy note, but still a great rum that might develop well in the bottle! 85 pts.
Review by Alex Kunath
Und der nächste Cadenheads Bottlekill. Auch diesmal lässt der Abfüller aus meiner Sicht keine Wünsche über. In der Nase sind die typischen TDL Noten dabei. Am Gaumen sind ebenfalls die tollen TDL dabei. Ich habe auch Noten eines Caroni dabei und finde ihn wirklich sehr gut!
Review by Johannes
A bit too boring for me. Too much column. A little soapy on the finish.
Review by Gregor
Sehr schöner tdl. Habe ihn mir allerdings anders vorgestellt. Hier kann man sehr gut erkennen das nicht immer je älter gleich umso besser bedeutet. Hier finde ich das Fass ein klein wenig zu dominant da es den destillateigengeschmack ubertüncht
Review by Mirco
Im Direktvergleich mit der 25y Abfüllung auf fast identischem Level. Caroni Einfluss klar spürbar. Typische Noten sind erkennbar, dominieren aber nicht komplett. Die Alkoholintegration müsste hier deutlich besser sein um höher bewerten zu können. Dennoch, solider Rum.
Review by Jakob
Eher enttäuschendes Release aus dem 1991er Vintage. Hier verstecken sich manchmal kleine Highlights (man beachte das „kleine“), weil sich HTR-Noten in den Blends ausmachen lassen - sofern es aber bei den eher untergeordneten Einflüssen bleibt, die sich in dieser Abfüllung zeigen, bleibt der Einfluss aufs Gesamtprofil zu vernachlässigbar. Entsprechend finden sich hier eher Noten des spanischen Stils, Holz, Süsse, Gewürze - ist grundsätzlich süffig, aber holt mich nur bedingt ab.
