How does this rum taste?
The 2002 Trinidad Rum, crafted at T.D.L distillery and bottled by The Wild Parrot, is an intriguing blend of herbaceous and fruity aromas—lime, varnish, papaya—paired with tobacco, chocolate, and roasted flavors. This 20-year-aged rum, at a cask strength of 59.1% ABV, captures a balance between citrus, spices, and dark woodiness. It has been praised for its complex profile, with notes of passion fruit and tropical vibes, yet some find its herbal intensity akin to medicinal. Overall, the rich, layered complexity offers an unforgettable tasting journey, often drawing comparisons to other well-regarded Trinidian rums.

A bewitching nose of passion fruit, candied fruit and citrus, with a light varnish. The palate is full-bodied from the start, with maracuja (passion fruit), white chocolate and spices. The finish is long and finishes on fruit with a slight woody bitterness. An absolutely delicious rum, surprisingly marked by passion fruit, with this light acidity and deep fruit. You feel transported to a tropical orchard. The empty glass is marked by wood and a slight smokiness, but the whole is perfectly balanced. Delicious!
Too herbaceous, a rum, a medicinal or herbal bitter? It's very Branca mint, definitely not my rum
A nicely balanced TDL with nice spices, fruit and a nice caramel and chocolate topping. The empty glass delivers even better flavours once its been standing for a while. A bottle hard to get already and if you get a chance you should give it a go. Price to quality is pretty good.
A rum with a double face!Very citrusy and vegetal in the nose and instead in the taste very dark with lots of wood, dark chocolate and a smoky/carbonized part to act as a side but never invasive!At times it reminds me of monymusk 1997 begnoni!The best thing is that it has a crazy balance!
