How does this rum taste?
Most drinkers love its intense mint/blackcurrant profile, big complexity and endless finish. Critics mention a dry, slightly salty‑metallic edge and alcohol that can feel sharp if rushed. Consensus: top‑tier TDL 2003.
If you already enjoy 2003 TDLs, this pushes the menthol‑cassis combo to the max with serious power and complexity—perfect when you want a bolder, more concentrated take on the style.
Those sensitive to high ABV, beginners, or drinkers who dislike dominant mint/menthol notes and a dry, tannic finish without added sweetness.

It would have deserved more time in the glass to fully express itself. 21 years of ageing takes time to stretch! But I had already tasted it a month ago. On the nose, an explosion of red fruits (blackcurrants in particular), more vegetal notes (eucalyptus, mint), and a discreet whiff of garage. On the palate, a complexity of blackcurrant, mint, cut grass and spices. A slight woodiness is transparent. Great art! An interminable finish of gourmet fruit.
Edit: TDL battle! For me, the best of the lot. The nose is from another world, with lots of fuits, menthol, spices, yellow and red fruits, notably blackcurrant and dried apricots. The palate follows with lots of fruit, and a tea-bag background. Mint turns to chlorophyll and eucalyptus. The finish is endless. In short, my best TDL to date, powerful and complex.
An EXCELLENT tdl featuring all the markers I've been waiting for. Go for it, because success is guaranteed with this selection.
Un nez fabuleux sur les fruits rouges, l’ananas, le menthol, et les épices. Un côté très sale nous vient mais ça ne prend pas le dessus ! Ce nez est aussi floral, avec une pointe de lavande. Aucun doute, on est bien sûr un TDL ! Une bouche à la hauteur du nez, merveilleuse. Tout s’emmêle : du menthol, du cassis, du chocolat noir avec une amertume maîtrisée, un côté très rôti et une pointe d’agrumes sur la fin. Cette bouteille est vraiment incroyable, un TDL extrêmement équilibré, avec une belle longueur et une puissance superbe. Magnifique sélection de Spirit Gallery, un des meilleurs TDL que j’ai bu à ce jour !
