    How does Romdeluxe T.D.L Wild Series Rum No. 42 TML 2002 taste?

    Intense minty Trinidad benchmark
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy classic 2002 T.D.Ls like the RA or CDI bottlings, this pushes the same minty, fruity profile to a more intense and complex level at cask strength.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to high ABV, looking for sweet beginner rums, or who dislike minty, herbal profiles with a touch of dryness and bitterness.

    Aroma

    Minty Herbal Blackcurrant Yellow fruits

    Hammer teil! Schwarze Johannisbeere, Minze in der Nase. Im Mund dann schön intensiv, dabei auch röstig. Wieder schwarze Johannisbeere und Minze, etwas Melonensüße, im Hintergrund ne spannende Ingwerschärfe

    Wowwwwww excellent ce tdl j’adore 😊 en premier lieu car n’est pas dominé par la menthe ou l’eucalyptus comme souvent, on le sent, même bien, mais ça reste subtile du coup ça laisse la place aux autres arômes 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 gros kiff sur RDL

    Boom! Even when pouring from the sample, it becomes clear why I was hyped on the FRC last year and why I found it so disappointing. Today again in direct comparison. The RdL has everything I would expect from a 2002 TDL: mint en masse, ripe yellow fruit (ripe peach) and my beloved falernum aroma - almond, ginger, cloves, lime, cane sugar: it's all there. Intense and round. The FRC is not dissimilar, but paler and unripe, with a sour ester note, the falernum is only hinted at. I remember the mouth of the RA as an unexpected explosion. The FRC, on the other hand, is characterized by wateriness. The mouth of the RdL is intense, but not an explosion: mint, which becomes mentholated towards the finish, peach, melon, bitter grapefruit, some hops and the falernum once again. The wood and alcohol are perfectly integrated. The finish is super long, dry, soft and volatile. Sucking grapefruit-falernum-peach iced tea for minutes. I love this profile 🤤 Shame the much more attractively priced FRC could only deliver a thin decal of this. Still have a bottle of RA, so I'll save myself the €200. Edit. Second tasting against the new Cadenhead. The Cadenhead is great, brilliantly bright and drinkable, but the RdL is quite a bit more complex due to the tart grapefruit, cloves and the noticeable wood. An absolute top rum!

    04.05.2024 Retasting during a nice exclusive tasting at Romdeluxe. I stick to my score and I still love it. -------------------------- #4072 This is the 4th time I've sampled this one and I really like it. So much so that I have a bottle on the shelf to enjoy. Lightly woody with fruits and spices. There is a light dirty set of workshop notes and I really like that part.
