Sample Swell de Spirits TDL 2005 Private Garden #4 18yr 62,1% 3clWe are delighted to present the fourth vintage in the Private Garden collection, bottled by Swell de Spirits. This molasses rum, distilled in 2005 by Trinidad Distillers Limited, was aged for 10 years in the tropical climate of Trinidad, followed by 8 years in a continental climate. As an aside, when Mika offered us this TDL, there were only a few drops left at the bottom of a sample. It was so intense that we signed up immediately. A full sample,
