How does this rum taste?
Community loves the huge minty, herbal TDL profile and dirty garage notes. Critics find it very dry, woody and bitter. Consensus: top‑tier, intense 2001 TDL, not the very best.
If you enjoy other 2001 TDLs or Caroni‑leaning Trinidad rums, this cranks up the mint, wood and workshop notes—intense, rewarding and even better with a touch of water.
Beginners, those sensitive to 60%+ ABV, or drinkers who dislike dry, woody bitterness and herbal mint/tea notes in their rum.

"Nothing to say, what a blast TDL! This one's a little closed but I loved it all the same :) In summary, my degutation notes: On the nose: Black tea, Herbaceous, Mentholated, Fruity, Litchi, Leather On the palate: Menthole, Black tea, Tannins, Litchi, Red fruit Finish: Mentholated, Tropical fruit, Tannins".
Sensationeller TDL, genau nach meinem Gusteau. Minze und Pfirsich gepaart mit vielen weiteren Noten. Zusätzliche dreckiges wie mans bei Caronis kennt. Die bisherige 2001 TDL RA Abfüllung erreicht das Niveau natürlich nicht. Die zusäzlichen %ABV bringen viel Komplexität mit.
Tasted as part of the RA online tasting for the RumX lottery 06/2023. With this bottling Rum Artesanal is back in the game after a perceived dry spell. Mint and tea galore. Superb. Can keep up with the best T.D.Ls between 2001 and 2003. I hope the level can be maintained.
RumX Community Tasting with Rum Artesanal to the Tasting Lottery June 2023: Absolute aroma bomb. Fresh mint, wood, slightly meaty-leathery, some subtle sweetness...wow. Impressive intensity. For me, one of the absolute top rums from the early 2000s TDL vintages and already a highlight of the 20023 releases.
