Albert Michler Distillery T.D.L Trinidad Rum 2002
Anyone who likes the dry, herbal side of Trinidad column rum will get the most from this one. It leans hard into mint — several tasters call the TDL mint unmistakable — with medicinal and rubber notes, oak, orange peel and a little vanilla sweetness underneath. At 48% and 18 years, it's dry and savory. One reviewer says it drinks almost like a single malt scotch, which won't suit everyone.
The community says- Distinctive TDL mint
- Complex and herbal
- But: Medicinal, scotch-like

Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Dry, minty, medicinal Trinidad sipper Most find it a characterful, minty, medicinal Trinidad rum worth the price. A few love the herbal-scotch angle; one tried it three times and decided it just wasn't for them.

Review by Andzin
Even this lighter version is not so delicios compared to release with high abv for CZ+SK rum community, it is still excellent Trinidad rum. One of my favorite ones for still good money

Review by Filip Šikula
Today I will taste a thinner version of the filling for cz&sk. I usually prefer a higher abv, so we'll see. On the nose you have, technical "dirtiness", vanilla. On the palate you can tell the lower abv, but surprisingly it didn't hurt that much. The mint comes through strongly and is clearly dominant, medium finish with the fruit following. Nice.
Review by rum_sk
This reminds me of a single malt scotch. To be 100% honest I have tried it 3 times and I guess this is not the one for me. 👃 is mainly wood with hints of vanilla and molasses. 👅 is however another story. First the wood hits you with ita typical oak barrell aroma but later on you get a sense of bitterness as if you were eating herbs for digestion. Last but not least I am sensing an orange peel which complements the bitterness. Overall the herbal notes and sort of malty taste reminds me of scotch and honestly, if I want scotch I will get some. I am not looking for this notes in rum. For me this one is a show stopper although I am sure it will find a way to rumthusiasts.
