How does this rum taste?
What stands out most to reviewers is the bold and distinctive minty-menthol character, paired with dried and dark fruits, roasted wood, and a "dirty" edge that adds real personality. The complexity evolves with time and air, revealing leather, tobacco, and subtle floral undertones, drawing comparisons to legendary bottlings and even Caroni. Many enjoy it neat as a rewarding, contemplative sipper. With high marks for intensity, complexity, and how well the alcohol is integrated, it’s now a reference point for TDL fans and a frequent favorite for buyers looking for a unique, powerful Trinidad rum. Limited bottles only add to its appeal.

Typisch T.D.L mit viel Minze, Menthol und Kräuternoten. Im Vergleich zu vielen 2003er Jahrgängen finde ich bei dieser hier mehr (geteocknete) Früchte und Holz. Am Gaumen sehr intensiv und adstringent, dieser Rum gibt von der ersten Sekunde an richtig Gas! Der Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert und der Abgang ewig lang! Eine Abfüllung, die mit der Zeit völlig zurecht ihre Liebhaber gefunden hat. Ein hervorragender Rum!
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.
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!
Wonderful nose .... Wonderful fresh minty , dark dried fruits slightly dirty (tar, tobacco,leather ) Alcohol relatively well/medium integrated in the nose. On the palate you can feel the alcohol more clearly (doesn't bother me though) .Full power mint , spices .... Leather ,tobacco, wood and some fruit (plum, cassis,dark berries) .The makes real alarm in the mouth Long Mentholiger finish. Great bottling 👍Thanks mto75 for the sampl.
