    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members rave about the wild T.D.L. twist: a fresh mint-and-yellow-fruit nose that flips on the palate into clear cannabis and hoppy IPA notes, backed by woody dryness and black tea. Bottled at 46.5%, it drinks smooth and herbal, with tropical touches and a medium, slightly dry finish. A limited 21‑year release (241 bottles), well‑rated by 80 reviews—distinctive and memorable. Some wished for more ABV.

    On the nose, the typical T.D.L herbal note has the clear upper hand. The mint is accompanied by a subtle freshness that contrasts pleasantly with the barrel influence. Fruits and spices are also present. There is practically no alcoholic spiciness. Not much happens on the palate at first - pleasant sweetness and fruit, but after 3-5 seconds the rum takes an enormous twist and becomes a cannabis and hop monster, which intensifies over time! The mint remains but takes a back seat to the cannabis and hops. It is clearly noticeable that the rum was bottled at 46.5% - nothing scratches or bites: aromatically strong and intense but alcoholically very mild. Cannabis, hops and mint lead seamlessly into a wonderful finish and here the fruits have their say again. I love it when a rum behaves unpredictably and this one has taken the top position in this respect so far! It would be even better with a little more power.

    Nase: Top! Ein wunderschönes Profil, auf dem ich gerne hängenbleibe. Der „dezente“ Hinweis auf Hanf vom Label zeigt sich in der Nase noch nicht, stattdessen das bekannte und gesuchte Profil der 2000er - 2003er TDL mit Minze, viel Eiche, Zitrusfrüchten (rote und gelbe), dazu Trauben, ein leichter Hauch Möbelpolitur, reife Stachelbeeren, ein wenig Banane, Pfirsich und überreifen Erdbeeren mit Vanille und Karamell zum Abschluss. Nicht sehr dreckig, eher der cleaneren Seite zuzuordnen. Am Gaumen dann die Überraschung: Das Cannabis- oder Hanfaroma kommt hier voll durch, viel deutlicher als erwartet. Merkliche Anflüge von Cannabis-Aromen hatte ich bereits im Rom de Luxe TDL No. 42 2002 mit 20 Jahren und dem Rasta Morris 2001 mit 21 Jahren vernommen, doch bin ich hier ob der Deutlichkeit und Dominanz tatsächlich positiv überrascht, da freue ich mich auf einen „FRC TDL 02 21 mit Blunt“ und lasse das klassische „Rum mit Zigarre“ mal außen vor. Kleiner Wermutstropfen ist, dass die wirklich tolle Nase sich nicht 1:1 am Gaumen fortsetzt. Die Minze aus der Nase ist dem Cannabis fast komplett gewichen bzw. hat diese ersetzt, die Eiche ist spürbar und der Rum ist leicht adstringent. Dreckige Noten fehlen nahezu vollständig, der Eindruck ist eher clean und auch schimmert das spanische Profil etwas durch. Ein wenig mehr Volumen hätten wohl noch gepasst, ich verstehe allerdings, dass dies wohl die fein justierte Aromatik negativ beeinflusst haben könnte. So ist dieser Rum definitiv auch einsteigerfreundlich und easy sipping. Insgesamt rücken die vielen Früchte aus der Nase in den Hintergrund, doch bin ich gespannt, wie dieser Rum sich über die Zeit in der geöffneten Flasche entwickeln wird. Der Abgang ist mittellang bis lang mit starkem Cannabis-Finish am Gaumen. Wer Cannabis und/oder (bestenfalls beides) kennt und mag: Unbedingt zuschlagen, er gefällt sehr. Von mir stabile 89 Punkte und klare Kaufempfehlung für den geneigten Connaisseur. 420. Nuff‘ said. Nachtrag: Nach knapp einer Woche kommt auch der Port-Einfluss in Nase und am Gaumen voll durch und ergibt ein Wahnsinns-Bouquet mit Cognac/Armagnac Einfluss auf dem TDL Profil. Der Cannabis-Flip ist noch da. Nun 90.

    Wow, super cool! Typical TDL nose, fresh with menthol and the lychee notes I like so much. Slight barrel notes in the background, but unobtrusive. This continues on the palate at first, with a little more barrel. Then a clear weed aroma comes out of nowhere, the lychee recedes, but remains there. Mouthfeel rather dry, astringent. The finish is of medium length, the aromas linger on the tongue for a while. Bonus points for the unusual Weed Nite ✌️

    Wow! I didn't expect that... I was extremely skeptical about the low alcohol content and the weed logo, but this thing is an absolute grenade! Extremely tasty and drinkable with mint, yellow Williams pear and juicy peach and clearly weed/cannabis, as well as some milk chocolate and green cardamom. Without being a professional, I would guess that the grass aroma is super lemon haze😃 super tasty, palatable, aromatically complex and not too thin at any point. A very positive surprise!
