    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this 2003 T.D.L for its mint‑eucalyptus lift over ripe peach and citrus. Complex yet balanced at 61.7% cask strength, it adds herbal tea, subtle roasted wood and a long, very minty finish. Some note a lighter palate or pronounced oak versus the stunning nose, but overall this 20‑year, 245‑bottle release is a popular slow sipper among Trinidad fans.

    Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, day 14 and with friends. A very fruity first nose (tropical fruit and citrus) with hints of menthol and eucalyptus. Flowers too. The menthol, fruit and flowers are reminiscent of a TDL. On the palate, TDL aromas dominate, with fruit, menthol and flowers. Good acidity invigorates this rum, while a dirty, petrol, tar and medicinal edge adds depth. On the finish, the wood stands out, an elegant cedar wood with a light bitterness. The aromas fade gently, with fruit and flowers lingering for a very long time. A very fine rum.

    Cool bottling. Round and balanced. It has the typical TDL notes, but the mint and menthol are somewhat less present. There is also some euchalyptus and nice fruit/citrus notes.

    Definitely not a daily sipper, but rather something you should take your time with. Really tasty old vintage TDL. Extremely balanced and tasty. Yellow fruits (mango, physalis, apricot) and green fruits (green honey or Gaia melon, green apple, kiwi) meet black tea and citrus fruits. Overall rather dry but still very intense, aromatic and delicious! A great, successful bottling.

    This is a first-class TDL... a wonderful mint-eucalyptus-menthol-herb mixture on the nose that I haven't experienced so intensely for a long time. This interplay of aromas continues 1:1 on the palate, complemented by a slight spiciness. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish continues in the same way. It's really fun and confirms the successful 2001-2003 bottlings
