RumX community voice

RumX members love T.D.L’s signature mint/menthol lift, often joined by eucalyptus, black tea, red berries and elegant oak. Many notes highlight florals, tobacco and a faint “Caroni‑like” edge in certain vintages (notably 2001–2005), with long, dry finishes. Fans praise the value of older single casks and the tropical maturation complexity, while acknowledging that some softer core releases can feel sweet or lighter. Overall sentiment: vivid, fresh, characterful Trinidad rum with standout drinkability and complexity.
