How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its typical TDL profile, fruity oak and great value. Critics note some alcohol bite, dilution and only faint mint. Consensus: a very solid, accessible introduction to TDL rums.
If you like characterful but not too wild column‑still rums, this is a great TDL gateway: full enough to be interesting, gentle enough to sip regularly and priced to pour freely.
Those seeking intense mint, very high complexity, or ultra-smooth 40% sippers; also not ideal if you’re sensitive to a bit of alcohol prickle.

Dasselbe wie Batch 4. Prima daily Sipper, aber auch hier/besonders hier nochmal etwas weniger Komplexität zum #4er durch noch mehr Verdünnung. Dennoch dieselbe schöne DNA wie alle Abfüllungen nach 2000.
Während ich diesen Rum ursprünglich recht Anspruchsvoll fand, sehe ich das jetzt anders. Besonders verglichen mit anderen Abfüllungen aus dem Jahrgang (FRC) ist er deutlich verhaltener. Besonders ausgeprägt ist der Klebstoff an der Nase.
An unsurprising TDL featuring the usual hallmarks of this distillery: tropical fruits, wood, spices and menthol, which remains rather discreet here. On the palate, the alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but remains pleasant.
