    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this mint-and-menthol forward T.D.L 2001: a complex 19‑year cask strength Trinidad rum where peach/apricot fruit meets herbal tea, leather and a subtle tar‑rubber edge. Several compare its darker side to Caroni while praising intensity and balance. With 89 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited 389‑bottle release from Rum Artesanal stands out as a distinctive sip worth exploring.

    Excellent T.D.L! Lots of peach on the nose. Reminiscent of a Caroni-Cognac blend.

    very solid TDL, mega cool menthol chewing gum bomb, but definitely no Caroni 🤣 could just have a little more bang for me but that's a matter of taste... What I find cool here 1 year later is the similarity to Japanese mochi balls green tea with matcha tea flavor. Very tart and green after green mandarin, rice cake, kalamansi and papaya etc. Really fun, super complex and palatable!

    Tasted together with the TCRL 2001: Both are very mint forward, but still different. The nose from the RA is brute: much woodier, dirtier, smokier with some wet cardboard to it, less fresh overall. Some orange peel and bergamot can be found nonetheless. The nose from the TCRL is less intense but still more multi-faceted. In the mouth, the impression continues. The mint is less fresh, then menthol and gasoline. The wood brings a soft bitterness, anise and mace. The finish is again strong menthol, then the bitterness of lemon peel and coriander stalks. Besides the mint, the similarities to the TCRL are under the first dirty layer, but then are very apparent. I like the fruitier, more herbal and softer profile from the TCRL more. Edit. In crosstasting, I tried the RA, TCRL, Nobilis, Plantation Antipodes, and the new Rasta Morris. The rums are incredibly similar - esp. the Nobilis and RM are barely distinguishable. The RA stands out because of its dilution, the Plantation is clearly marked by the cognac barrel - it puts it closer to the 2003s - and the TCRL is the freshest, with an unusual herbal note. It was somewhat reminiscent of the 2002s. The RA also has the bitter citrus notes described above, which are less prominent in the other rums. My long open sample is starting to show some oxidation by now as well. Now it is empty 🥲

    Oh! My! God! Why do you need Caroni when you can have this T.D.L! 😋😋 😋
