T.D.L Rum Artesanal Trinidad Rum 2002 19yr 63,4%

RX7783 Very good Single Cask <250€

“Minty, bold, and complex Trinidad rum.”

Rum Artesanal Trinidad Rum originates from the T.D.L distillery in Trinidad, selected by Heinz Eggert GmbH. Distilled in 2002 from molasses and aged for over 19 years, this cask strength (63.4% ABV) rum features prominent mint, menthol, and earthy elements both in aroma and taste. Users describe it as complex yet intense, exhibiting notes reminiscent of leather and wood, with underlying hints of citrus and roast. Impressions often note the rum's refreshing yet 'dirty' profile, with well-integrated alcohol. This Trinidadian rum appeals particularly to enthusiasts of bold, menthol-like rums, though its profile might not cater to all palates, especially given its notable intensity and earthy undertones.

“Good rum with a lot of fruits, herbal notes and wood among others. However, alcohol burns a lot especially in mouth. Dilution could have been a good idea to make it more gentle.”

“First off, the price tag is really good for this release. Very fruity with some added workshop notes and nice wood. I like the intense and warm palate, the nice curtains and the long warm finish that stays for very long. The empty glass is really nice after a while.”

“Tar, Menthol, Earthy, trop. fruits (if you give it some time) and a dominant leather smell. Trinidad classic dirty with mint, menthol, tar ecc. in the mouth. With an amazing long dry, delicious minty finish with menthol, barrel, mocha… I like it a lot! Pleasant to drink! Alcohol is very well integrated, you won’t notice the 63% in your mouth”

“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!”

“Sehr leckerer Stoff mit einer wunderbaren Kombination aus Minze und Menthol mit Grapefruit und Grapefruit-Zeste. Dazu etwas erdiges und eine angenehme Bitterkeit im Abgang. Ich muss die ganze Zeit an einen frischen Eistee aus Grapefruit und Minze denken. lecker.”

“Palate: Woody aromas and a mentholated edge dominate. This gives notes of black tea or mocha on a smoky, even earthy background. The fruit is present, but difficult to perceive; it will mainly show through once the menthol and woodiness have passed. Good length on the palate. The alcohol is very well integrated, but it's still over 63%, which is a hefty figure! You need to take your time to enjoy it. As for me, a small glass is enough for the whole evening...”

“Sehr ausgewogener Vertreter mit klassischem TDL Profil, aber eher erdig mit leichtem Holz. Die typischen Mentholnoten sind weniger ausgeprägt als bei den 2001ern und im Direktvergleich mit dem letzten FRC 2009er schon fast zu zahm. Trotzdem super Abfüllung!”

“Sehr interessanter Rum aus Trinidad! Schon in der Nase kräftig Minze und Menthol. Aber auch fruchtig. Mir kommen Stachelbeeren in den Sinn. Am Gaumen spüre ich zuerst den hohen Alkoholgehalt aber dann nehme ich wieder die Facetten der Nase wahr ergänzt um Fassnoten und medizinischen Charakter. Der Nachklang ist lang und vielseitig, Minze und Fass dominieren.”

“The second vintage of RA TDL. In direct comparison, overall less mint and a little more caramel on the nose. On the palate also a little less minty for slightly woodier and overall rounder. In detail:Nose: spicy and woody with clearly fresh mint. Added currant and lime at the start, but also some smoke and muted caramel. I also think I perceive some licorice. Palate: incredibly tasty and harmonious. Sweet and spicy at first, then the fresh mint pushes massively across the palate. This also makes it seem slightly "dirty". After that comes more wood and again some licorice. Overall, both vintages are great TDL representatives.”
