“TDL nose: woody, minty and fruity. Surprisingly greedy. Engaging. On the palate, it's surprisingly progressive. Woody frame and light mint envelop brown sugar, discreet coconut, zesty spices, orange and a mocha impression. The taste evolves with time. The finish is rather long, cocoa-like, lemony, minty and bitter. Once again, Swell is the bomb! The bottle has just been opened. In 15 days, after oxidation, it'll be even better! Can't wait. Edit: tested with a drop of water to reduce the strength a little, and I think this rum would have easily withstood a reduction without altering its interest.”

“A lovely T.D.L. that opens with a lovely bouquet of exotic fruits, gourmand notes of caramel and pastries, a freshness on menthol and subtle notes of cocoa and sweet spices. The woodiness is well blended into this direct, sweet, gourmet profile. On the palate, power is assumed at the expense of complexity. The attack contrasts with the sweetness of the nose for a very mentholated and floral profile, accompanied by exotic fruits. Smoky notes join spices, chocolate and mocha. A more abrupt and direct approach, but with intensity. The finish falls short of the rest of the profile. After a greedy nose and powerful palate, the finish is rather discreet, with an unusual bitterness. Minty, herbal and cocoa notes combine with licorice, coffee and spices for a drier, less fruity profile. We're left a little disappointed. A fine selection of Swell de Spirits nonetheless, with a profile that changes considerably over time.”

“The weakest TDL that I have sampled this far. Also the youngest, a few more years in the barrel would probably have been of benefit as this rum is a little messy in its tasting notes. The flavors are not harmonious, the classic minty note that can be found in TDL’s struggles to come through, much to weak to give us anything but a slight hint of presence. All in all not a bad rum which makes for a nice sipper but lacking the complexity and some of the flavours needed to make a great TDL.”
