Albert Michler Distillery T.D.L Trinidad Rum CZ&SK 2002

Tropical fruit and that unmistakable TDL mint lead the way, wrapped in glue, light varnish and a whiff of medicinal "Trinidad dirt." Distilled in 2002 and bottled at a hefty 64.2%, it drinks softer than the number suggests — most tasters call it surprisingly approachable for the proof. Honey and light wood round it out. Fans of Trinidad column rum keep coming back to this one.

The community says
  • Signature TDL mint
  • Fruity and layered

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Fruity, minty Trinidad with a technical edge Well-liked across the board: a fruity, minty, faintly technical Trinidad that drinks gentler than its 64.2% hints. A couple of tasters find the nose harsh and alcoholic.

Beautiful matte bottle under 100 euros. You can feel the alcohol, but very drinkable. I recommend it even to beginner rum drinkers to discover new flavors. The mint from TDL is an unmistakable taste that you will never get tired of.

5.8/10

👃 is very harsh for me even after sitting in for good 15-20 minutes. Mostly it is synthetic, alcohol, paint thinners and wood but somewhere in the distance there is vanilla and chocolate, typical angostura nose but this time kind of harsh and alcoholic. 👅 Is also kind of chemical, synthetic and surprisingly enough a little bit fruity and minty too. I like mint but it is not very prominent in this one. After some time the vegetal notes are coming up front in the long finish. There are some notes that remind me (for me) very bad scotch such as Johnie Walker Red Label and its malt and grain. This taste however is mixing up with the mint in the finish so it is not that bad but I am not a huge fan of this rum. I will retaste however maybe the taste will change after different meal.

I’m incredibly glad I was allowed to taste this new quartet. You can see that Albert Michler really knows how to handle these Single Casks. First, I fell in love with our famous Trinidad for RUM CZ/SK and now the absolutely fabulous Jamaica, great Guyana, and very pleasant duo from Fiji.

Angostura is famous for a bottle most people never drink neat. The bitters house founded in 1824 became Trinidad's only rum distillery, and its arm Trinidad Distillers makes a clean, column-distilled, Spanish-style rum unlike the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. The same plant still guards the secret recipe for the world's most famous cocktail bitters.
