    Dirty mint-bomb Trinidad powerhouse
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy classic TDL mint and a bit of Trinidad grime, this is a top-tier, great-value pick that rewards slow sipping and maybe a few drops of water.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to alcohol heat, or drinkers who dislike strong menthol, earthy and workshop notes in their rum.

    An interesting mixture of fresh, dirty and fruity notes. Very intense and dry.

    extremely horny fresh tdl! Menthol without end and some grapefruit peel

    Auto-translated

    Update 01.03.2025: Habe die unten genannte Flasche im letzten Jahr aufgemacht und bin weiter ein großer Fan dieser Abfüllung. Heute ist der RA im 2002er Crosstastings mit dem RdL#2, dem RC und dem TWJ für Macau die mir vertraute Referenz. Wie ich diese Nase auf dem GRF2021 für einen spanischen TDO halten konnte, ist mir völlig unverständlich. Die Nase ist heute ein echter TDL Prototyp mit reichlich Minze und gelber Frucht. Würziger als meine alten Notes vermuten lassen. Im Mund habe ich ebenfalls mehr Frucht und weniger Minze erwartet. Aber auch hier volle Breitseite Pfirsich-Minz-Eistee mit der unten geschilderten Falernumnote. Der Abgang ist für einen TDL überraschend Adstringenz und ausgesprochen grün. Die herausragende Stellung in dem Batch konnte ich heute nicht bestätigen. Er ist zweifellos sehr gut und in viellerlei Hinsicht ein prototypischer TDL, aber gerade der RC ist ihm schon sehr ähnlich. -2 Original 21.12.2021: Auf dem Rumfest ist der an mir vorbei gerauscht. Zum Glück bekam ich ein Sample, jetzt habe ich eine Flasche. Danke, Chris! Die Nase ist fantastisch: Minze, Ingwer, Cola, Grapefruit - hat irgendwie was von Falernum. Der Mund überraschend intensive Balance aus Zitrus und Minze mit etwas Ingwer. Der Abgang ungewöhnlich, die Bitterstoffe sind sehr frisch und pflanzlich: Grüne Paprika, Pepperoni. Klasse Rum!

    Auto-translated

    Hands down, a very top notch TDL bottling.

    The 200 T.D.L. usually rocks! Lots of menthol, herbs and a hay note. Plus an unpleasant sour note. For my personal taste, the 2002 T.D.L. vintage always has strong outliers on the downside. This bottling is one of those.
