“Oh Boy, this is a nice one. Much power on the palate providing a evolving experience playing with lots of mint, fruits, spices and wood. On the edge of being to alcoholic and/or woody at some point of the journey but beautifully coming back with dried fruits and mint in the next moment. Very reminiscent of tropical aged MM imo.”

“Of the dirty TDLs, 2001 is the most prominent vintage. The 2001s are the dirtiest, 2002 is fresher and 2003 is yellow fruitier. In crosstasting, I tried the RA, TCRL, Nobilis, Plantation Antipodes and the new Rasta Morris. The rums are incredibly similar - esp. the Nobilis and RM are barely distinguishable. The RA stands out because of the dilution, the Plantation is clearly marked by the cognac barrel - it moves it closer to the 2003s - and the TCRL is the freshest, with an unusual herbal note. The TCRL is somewhat reminiscent of the 2002s.The RM is the dirtiest of my session with the Nobilis. In addition to the typical menthol and mint notes, there is tar, wood, toasty caramel and tobacco. The RM is a touch more elegant than the Nobilis, bit finer the caramel a bit sweeter. The yellow fruits are present as with the Nobilis, but in the background. If I had to distinguish the Nobilis from the RM, I would point to the smell of damp cellar (musty, cardboard) in the Nobilis versus a wood paneled gentleman's room. A difference that is probably mostly imaginary. Both are even more wood driven than the other two. Perhaps these rums should not be aged much. In the mouth the RM is a shade more interesting compared to the Nobilis it is super heavy in menthol and brings the tart citrus notes that I also find in the RA and TCRL. just the grapefruit that joins the TDL Falernum in the finish is just classy. For me on the same level as the Nobilis - maybe half a point better. Very, very good.”

“A T.D.L. that starts on the nose with a good dose of menthol, supported by fruit to bring freshness. Empyreumatic notes of roast, tobacco and toasted oak follow, reminiscent of a Caroni. It takes a while for the aromas to take shape on the nose, but it's worth the wait.The attack on the palate is lively, on the dirtiness typical of a Caroni but with medicinal notes and extra bitterness. Herbs, tobacco, licorice, aniseed and leather reinforce this impression. Behind the menthol and eucalyptus lurk notes of dried fruit and red berries, timidly showing the tip of their nose. The alcohol is well integrated, and the finish is long, sticky and grimy. Dark chocolate, cocoa, leather, aniseed and licorice provide the bitterness, while spice and wood give the rum a dry, lively edge. Then fruit and menthol add their share of freshness, before petroleum and gasoline notes dirty the profile. An intriguing rum that won't leave you indifferent.”

“Hammer! The rum seems so wonderfully mature, the mint holds itself nobly as gray eminence in the background. This could become my new benchmark for TDLs from the beginning of the 21st century. For that, though, I'll have to taste it against other candidates first. So far, the front-runner is the RX944. If this one is deprived, I'll really have to reconsider its fabulous 94 points ... But that's the way it is: Panta Rhei. Update 2023-09-06: I think today I can give the rum its deserved 93 points. Today's impression: Wonderfully bitter at the back, like nice long drawn black tea. In addition, a full load of menthol and cannabis (!), but only in the back of the palate, in front the alcohol spreads nice and wide, but not disturbing. Fantastic!”

“09.02.2024 Nordlichter treffen. Retasting and I still love it so I'll stick to my initial score. --------------------- #4124 This is a very good TDL and if you bought it at release the price tag is really good. Medium intense with nice roasted wood and fruits. There is a very nice floral and minty note that I like a lot. Dry and warm on the palate with a long finish. Draws beautiful curtains in the glass and the empty glass is very nice and has some chocolate and a light smoky note.”

“Once again an excellent representative of the TDL vintages 2001-2003. The menthol note is well integrated, the wood is borderline present in the finish and long.”

“Yet another TDL that’s right up my alley. Dried fruit, tobacco, mint, wood, a little dirt and a touch of caramel. A very good rum even though the mint is a touch too present. I bought a bottle after having a glass from my sample.”

“Top nose. Powerful overall, like most TDLs from the beginning of the millennium. This one is more on the spicy, earthy side. In addition to the expected mint and perfume notes, there are also roast and shampoo associations. Needs time to breathe. Too spicy, medicinal on the finish. Somehow mushroomy and furry.”

“Quite a "board" with archetypal structure for a 2001 TDL with Caroni impact: menthol full, even slight hints of eucalyptus, minimal sweetness, lots of wood and spices - very intense, almost brute, and definitely not suitable for people who can not do anything with menthol. Very appealing to me, this rum definitely needs to be cross-compared to other TDLs from the early 2000s. Very good release!”

“A beautiful nose marked by the freshness of menthol with yellow fruit, wood, roast, tar and tobacco. And all these aromas harmonize well. The palate, too, benefits from the freshness of the menthol, with the fruit very much in evidence behind, along with a hint of bitter herbs and tar. The finish is long, balanced and complex. A very fine rum! It doesn't really have the complexity of Caroni aromas, apart from a slight tar, but all the same I can't help thinking of a Caroni, but on the lighter side (LTR). Thanks Tom for the sample.”

“This is how it should be..., on the nose the full load of mint/menthol, paired with dried fruit and something dirty. Delightful, it can go on like this...and I am not disappointed, the palate and finish continue in the same flavor play and intensity. This TDL would have deserved an excellent if the alcohol was a little better integrated. But that is already the only downer! Class bottling, of these 2001s gladly more”

“first impression: the has real power 💪 on the nose fruity (dried fruit) and dirty at the same time, and also a little direction baking mix and chewing tobacco. This continues on the palate, except that charred barrel is added. The alcohol is already quite sharp and present, but not yet to the point of being unpleasant. Again, a real 2001 TDL highlight!”
