An excellent showing from TDL here. This is a very bright and fruit forward rum offering. Vibrant Mango, Peach and Raspberry in a compote kind of way. Rich spices help to balance it out and theres just enough of that menthol, star anise, cough syrup flavor to make things really interesting. A real standout that can go toe to toe with those 2000-2003 TDL releases for me.
