Wonderful nose, which unfortunately does not continue in the mouth. Instead, the typical TDL notes are joined by a strong cannabis note. Really special, something I've never experienced before. Of course, a higher ABV would also be better.
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.
Today in the glass, the current king of the TDL 2002s from RdL and the new exotic from FRC. 100% continental, 50/50 Armagnac/Cognac storage and port cask finish and supposedly heavy cannabis aromas. The FRC is a touch darker in color. The noses have a very similar profile, but the differences are still clear. The typical peach and mint iced tea is very present. There are also juicy cherries and marzipan with a little rose water. The FRC is aromatically much darker, almost malty and lacks the tart grapefruit of the RdL. A somewhat hoppy IPA is already apparent in the nose. In any case, the nose is really excellent and much more intense than the old, much too light FRC, but also darker than the other 2002s and not dissimilar to the 2003s and 2001s. The mouth is indeed a phenomenon! The attack is very mild at first and it starts very classically with peach-mint iced tea. But then it really develops the label-giving cannabis note. In comparison with the RdL, the tart hoppiness reveals a very similar note. The RdL is more tart, more grapefruit, citrus peel, ginger and overall much more complex. In addition to the herbal aromas, the FRC has a concise acidity and some bergamot. Unfortunately, apart from this wild vegetalness, the mouth is not very complex and quite thin with the 46%. The finish is beautifully long and very herbal, but nowhere near as intense and endless as the RdL. All in all, the rum lives up to its label, but it is in the mouth that the fear that the 46% is simply not enough comes true. The hemp is unfortunately a real one-trick pony effect. Despite a great nose, the rum only ranks in the lower midfield of the 2002s.
Yellow fruits, gummy bears, fresh notes on the nose. Reminiscent of the 2003 Angostura TDL or the 2002 RdL (TML42). Herbal and tart on the palate, with a hint of hops. The finish is slightly bitter, which in turn offsets the wateriness somewhat. Interesting TDL, which is quite unique, especially on the palate.
