“Bold, complex, with tropical and smoky notes.”

Trinidad Distillers 2003 by Excellence Rhum is a distinctive, limited-release rum crafted at T.D.L distillery in Trinidad. Distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for 18 years, it boasts a potent 65.6% ABV. Users appreciate its complex aroma of tropical fruit, vanilla, and oak, coupled with pronounced flavors of citrus, woody undertones, and a surprising smoky finish. The rum's strong presence of spices and well-integrated alcohol make it a standout among T.D.L aficionados, while its menthol and herbal aftertaste enhance its layered complexity. However, its intensity and unique character evoke mixed reactions, being both celebrated for richness and critiqued for overbearing notes.

“Sweet and tropical nose. Mango, popcorn, vanilla, iodine and spices. Then much more mature in the mouth. Smoky, mint, overripe, tropical fruit, vanilla, menthol and rubber. Nice long finish. Pleasing, crisp and fine. I like the 2003 vintage much better than the 2001s.”

“On the nose it's very appealing!!! It's hard to let it air out 🤤 Very fruity and a floral/medicinal touch. In the mouth it's extra!!! A huge kick!!! Intensely complex! A nice slap in the face ❤❤ I don't regret having picked up a bottle 👌Coup de coeur du moment 🔥Second bottle received!!! Half empty bottle. Softer on the attack. Taste remains just as deep.”

“on the nose on the sweet-fruity side: coconut, tropical fruit, candied, popcorn...but also barrel, vanilla, spices (cardamom, clove) and alcoholic spiciness. Noticeably more 'adult' on the palate with smoky charred notes and tobacco and menthol on the finish (somewhere between the 2001/2020 RA TDL and the 1994/2017 Velier Caroni).”
