“A real aroma bomb full of mint, a potpourri of tropical fruits and barrel influences, which add both bitterness and spiciness. This is flanked by a delicate sweetness that rounds off the release successfully for me. No, this is not easy sipping, it remains challenging, but also rewarding because it is multi-layered and aromatically lively - there is always something new to discover on the palate and the finish is also long-lasting. Great!”

“As usual, mint and menthol, very nice. Well-balanced rum; fruit, wood and spice with a clear herbal note work wonderfully here. Compared to other 2009 TDLs, it is also convincing. Solid with a very good PLV.”

“2nd edit: Now also tested as a mixer, a really drinkable hit. Unfortunately, all the bottles are probably gone by now, otherwise I would have ordered more right away. Tasted briefly with Serge while sampling. First impression very good. Alcohol well integrated, which unfortunately makes it very drinkable. A very good price for what it delivers. Edit: also have a little taste like the other recently released FRC TDL in the finish, very subtle hemp taste, but of course not so extreme...”

“Und der 3.te 2009 nach dem DramMor und TWJ… Er reiht sich für mich zwischen den beiden ein. Von der Charakteristik her sind sich alle drei ziemlich ähnlich und unterscheiden sich nur in Nuancen. Der FRC ist am Gaumen nicht ganz so präsent wie der TWJ. Das Spiel zwischen Frucht und dem Tee, bzw. Kräutern ist nicht ganz so ausgewogen! Alles in allem sind es drei erstklassige Abfüllungen”

“Surprisingly smoky aromas on the nose, nicely minty and oily on the palate. Congratulations on the excellent barrel selection! Oh well, I also think the alcohol is very well integrated and the PLV is hard to beat. And the label is modern and attractive. All in all, this is how rum should be these days!”

“Fruity and sweet on the nose, with smoky and floral notes, caramel, some menthol and polish in the background. Caramel, spice and workshop on the palate. Really good TDL, and at an absolutely fair price!”

“Schöne fruchtige Noten in der Nase. Am Gaumen ganz toll. Mango trifft leichte Minze. Macht richtig Spaß. Tolle Abfüllung, und zu dem Preis erst recht! Für mich ein richtiges Highlight! Edit: Der ist leider zu geil, den muss ich noch mal um 0.1 Punkte anheben. Edit2: Verkostet gegen den Vagabond Silva Collection TDL 200 / RX19262. In der Nase kommt der FRC sehr Fruchtig-minzig daher, der Vagabond eher rauchig-würzig. Am Gaumen der FRC dann wirklich sehr fruchtig, schön untermalt von den frischen Minzearomen, alles sehr harmonisch. Nicht außerordentlich komplex, aber sehr süffig. Ganz anders der Vagabond. Viele Kräuter, trockener und im direkten Vergleich wesentlich weniger fruchtig als der FRC, stärker im Antritt und auch etwas schärfer. Über allem liegt eine dezente Rauchnote. Der FRC wird mit etwas Wasser noch süffiger und easy-drinking als ohnehin schon. Zu viel Wasser sollte man ihm aber wohl nicht geben, sonst wird er zu flach. Der Vagabond wird mit etwas Wasser ebenfalls zugänglicher und gefällt mir so sogar etwas besser als pur. Der Alkohol beißt nicht mehr und er lässt sich besser trinken, seine einzelnen Facetten aus verschiedenen Kräutern und dezentem Rauch kommen besser zur Geltung. Im Abgang sind beide mittellang, der FRC mit mehr Frucht, der Vagabond mit mehr Kräutern. Unterm Strich würde ich sagen, dass der Vagabond vielleicht einen Ticken mehr Komplexität bietet als der FRC, der FRC mir persönlich aufgrund der besonderen Fruchtigkeit aber noch etwas besser gefällt. Beides tolle Abfüllungen, wobei der FRC das bessere Preis/Genuss Verhältnis bietet.”

“Drei mal TDL 2009. Alle drei veröffentlicht innerhalb eines Jahres. Dram Mor und TWJ hatte ich schonmal zusammen im Glas und konnte sie kaum unterscheiden.lmal sehen, wie sich der neue FRC schlägt. Optisch sind sie nicht auseinander zu halten. Auch der FRC hat ein sehr, sehr ähnliches Profil wie die anderen beiden: Pfirsich-Mango-Minz-Eistee. Vielleicht ist der FRC einen Hauch heller (Creme Brulee statt röstigem Karamell) mit einer Nuance Tabak. Im Mund ist er super harmonisch, ohne die leichte Zitronensäure des Dram Mor, eine echte Mango-Bombe. Das ist etwas zu gefällig, aber eben auch sehr lecker. Der Abgang ist lang, frischer und weniger bitter und menthol der als beim Dram Mor. Der TWJ war wieder FRC etwas heller, aber auch ih diesem Vergleich ist der FRC etwas runder, etwas gefälliger. Am Ende gibt es nochmal die gleiche Punktzahl für alle 3. Ein super Batch, sehr lecker!”

“Beautiful nose with roasted aromas, wood, leather and subtle mint. On the palate a dirty TDL profile with menthol, fruit, vanilla and wood. Powerful but great integrated alcohol, the 63%+ is not biting but carries the flavors well. Long finish, continues with more roasted flavors, leather and fruit before rim background. Super release with a great PLV! Appears much older than it is”

“Another sample from zabo ready for lift off… All in all a great TDL, pretty dry with subtle toffee and vanilla notes, some spices and herbs (mint / menthol). The nose is more in herbal side followed by a sweet caramelized palate with some spices. In the end the sweetness gets accompanied by some herbs and becomes vanilla-toffee-ish.”

“Not as blatantly minty as the RA 2001-2023, but more chocolaty, sweet aromas on the palate and more fruit on the nose. The alcohol is well integrated for approx. 64%. Great rum, owning a bottle of this is definitely not a mistake”

“The first thing that greets you in the glass are the roasted aromas - do we have a heavily burnt barrel here? It's also beautifully fruity and spicy. Lots of fruit on the palate. Very soft and round, I would almost say pleasing. Alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is also more relaxed and predominantly fruity. Great.”
