Nose gets the split verdict: almost everyone finds it closed and a touch alcohol-sharp, and the reward all lands on the palate. There you get big mint and eucalyptus, oily texture, caramel sweetness, dried peach and cassis, with roasted wood behind. One taster called it a real "Minz-Bombe." Concentrated and dry-finishing rather than fresh and loud.
The community says- Big mint/eucalyptus
- Oily, concentrated palate
- Keep in mind: Closed, sharp nose

The look inside the bottle
How does Levy Lane Tamosi Trinidad 2003 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Menthol-heavy aged Trinidad, palate over nose Loved on the palate for its mint, oily body and dried fruit; the nose is the recurring letdown, and a few place it just below the best 2003 Trinidad releases.

Update 16.02.2025: Once again my big TDL crosstasting. The Nobilis TDL 2003, the Kill Devil 13 yo 2003, the Tamosi 2003, the first TWJ 2003 19yo and the new WDC 22yo. We know that the Nobilis, Kill Devil and WDC come from 02/2003. For the others, the exact batch is unclear. Unfortunately, I’m missing one of the CDIs from April 2003 today – I assume the TWJ is from April. In the rating, I like the TWJ best, the Kill Devil falls behind. WDC, Tamosi and WDC are roughly on par with slight advantages for the Tamosi. All very tasty, but far from the top class of the vintage, the CDIs for 1802, Caksus or Premium Spiritus. Original 25.12.2025: Tasting the Tamosi 2003 together with the CDI 2003 for Premium Spirits and the Swell 2003. The Tamosi is very soft on the nose, with caramel, polish and just a hint of mint. The yellow fruits are completely missing, instead there are nuts, sweet dates, nutmeg blossom and ginger – you could think of gingerbread. In the mouth, the peach that’s missing on the nose surprises you. Not very fresh, more dried and candied – like the candied orange peel in gingerbread. Also dried mango. The mint remains scarce. The mouth is much fruitier than the nose, but by far not as intense and fresh as with the CDI for PS. In the finish, the mint comes through again for longer. Menthol-y, with dried mango. That’s very tasty. I really like this rum. It’s more harmonious than, for example, the first TWJ from 2003, it’s not as wood-hammer menthol-y as other CDIs, but the almost Spanish-sweet nose can’t fully convince me.
Review by zabo
I'm a bit torn right now. Definitely a bit better than the Swell last night. But it still can't really keep up with the Owl. I think something is bothering me a bit or I just can't cope with the profile at the moment.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is woody with smoky touch and notes like caramel, nuts, some spice like cinnamon and industrial with rubber. From fruits, we notice an orange. On aeration, a molasses is herbal and minty, with black tea, as the most obvious fruit us a cherry.Some medicinal notes pop up, as well as bacon. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is fruity with banana, mandarine and red fruits, woody, oily with roasted, a bit smoky, spicy wood notes like caramel burnt sugar, leather, cinnamon, vanilla, clove and industrial, medicinal with dirty notes, some menthol.The molasses is herbaceous.With resting, delicious peaches and currants join in. 8,4:The finish is long with dry, spicy and roasted smoky wood notes, a bit tannic, the industrial notes are quite heavy with petrol, rubber, menthol, they come a bit bitter.The fruits are dried apricots, raisins, currants, mango and citrus as the molasses brings tea, is earthy...
Review by Eric Frechin
Goûté en sample 2 fois, en même temps que le 2000 , pour comparer. Je connaissais ce millésime, et j ai donc quelques repères attendus. Je trouve le nez assez fermé(bois , caramel , vanille, fruits confits)et ça ne me donne pas beaucoup d indication pour la suite. Bouche intense. Les indicateurs sont là: menthol , léger fruité pêche/cassis/ un peu de garage. La finale est sympa avec un fondu de tout ça. Je l ai préféré au 2000. C est assez solide, mais pas sur le haut du podium.
Review by Timo Groeger
And the last one for total is this Trinidad. I really like it. Mint and eucalyptus dominate, which suggests T.D.L. Otherwise you can still detect a bit of herbs, caramel and wood.

#6960 25.06.2026 My son is on the way to visit his mom in China and my training is done for today. Time for some samples before my wife gets home from work. Pretty good rum with a decent price tag. Intense profile with fruits, polish, spice, varnish, mint, herbs and roasted wood.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Passion fruit and cassis combo. Very dense and concentrated in the mouth. Absolutely top, I like it very much. Very slightly salty and medicinal on the nose. Oily and syrupy. The finish is also good. Unfortunately disappointing on the nose.
Review by FischeJ
Mini sample during bottling. Very closed on the nose. Not much comes through at the moment. A little caramel, a little vanilla, a little mint. Very little fruit. But in the mouth it's full of wonderful mint and sweetness. Red fruit alongside. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Slightly mineral and more woody at the back (but not at all overloaded). Quite a short finish. Deduction in the B grade due to the nose. But great in the mouth. Let's see how it is at the next tasting.
Review by Christian Rudt
We have a real mint bomb here in the glass. It really comes through when you give it a few minutes. In the very soft nose it is even less so on the palate, almost brutally engaging. It goes so far that it's almost too one-sided for me, even though it simply tastes very good.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Completely different profile to the Swell on Tour: Dirty, medicinal, a decent broadside of menthol, plus cassis / blackcurrant compote, sour cherry, smoky slightly bacony aromas almost, dark caramelized pearl onions... The nose is unfortunately relatively pungent from the alcohol even after almost an hour of breathing, the palate is okay but also not ideal from the alcohol integration. Therefore slight deductions. Exciting and intense profile, but nowhere near the level of tamosi's predecessor, the grandiose 2000 TDL. That was really terrific!🇹🇹
Review by Schnubbii
It still doesn't convince me on the nose, but I have to say, after the bottle has been open for a while, it delivers well on the palate for my taste. I prefer the minty-herbal TDL and this one is a bit more reserved, but for my taste this TDL 2003 has a very nice balance. I miss some bright yellow fruits, but I find more cassis and a slight cocoa here. Really a nice bottling and I no longer regret buying a bottle of it.
Review by Oliver
Classic 2003 T.D.L profile. With power and eternal finish.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Woody, vanilla and caramel notes. After some time in the glass you more of minty and herbal notes. Quite soft and easy on the nose. Taste: Warm with little bit of oil on the mouthfeel. Strong minty, herbal/eucalyptus notes with little bit of smoke notes at the background. The abv is integrated nicely, its giving the flavour notes the strong body that they require. On the first sips i did get some nice dried peach notes, but as the rum opened up in the glass the minty/eucalyptus/menthol notes took over. Finish: Minty/earthy and menthol notes. Woody notes. Little bit of bacon notes. Finishes of dry and little bit of minty notes on the background. Nice and long finish I really enjoyed sipping this rum, i dont remember tasting rum that really nails the mint/eucalyptus notes quite as good as this rum does.
Review by kondgab
Maybe vanilla on the nose, but it is not really opening up for smelling. You can taste a nice oily texture along with mint and a hint of wood in the background.
Review by Johannes
Typical, very good TDL with that specific minty note. However, my sample unfortunately has a soapy off-note. I don't know whether this is due to my sample or to the rum itself.
Review by Jakob
Intense potpourri of mint-eucalyptus, barrel and roast notes, dark spices, almost hidden fruit aromas of peach and dark berries, as well as a quite present sweetness of caramel. The finish is somewhat dirty-scratchy, but overall pleasantly balanced to my taste. Great release.
Review by Djehey
Like many previous comments, I find the nose not very expressive. The palate is more interesting: you find a fruitiness carried for me by lychee, freshness, and a woody structure that brings an interesting dimension of nuts. Spicy and drying finish but nevertheless fruity. It reminds me of the previous 2000 edition.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Closed and rather reserved on the nose. On the palate intense and complex, it feels pleasantly dirty and oily. Medium-long in the mouth but nicely long dry. A mixed bag. Not an "In your Face" TDL like some CDI or TWJ. Rather concentrated and heavy. I like it individually very much, but compared to other 2003 TDLs it can’t quite keep up.

Review by ThreeH
Drei TDL parallel verkostet. Neben dieser Tamosi Abfüllung den RX15401 und den RX26279. Die drei Abfüllungen haben eine Fassreife von 14y-22y hinter sich, wobei dieses Sample mit 21y die hellste Bernstein-Farbe im Vergleich zeigt. Der Naseneindruck ist etwas schwach. Leichtes Karamell, leichtes Holz und leichte Würze. Dazu eine gewisse frische Fruchtigkeit. Irgendwie eine Mischung aus Zitrus und Minze-Anteilen. Am Gaumen dann deutlich aromatischer. Auch hier dieselben Aromen wie in der Nase, jedoch deutlich ausgeprägter. Ein im Vergleich eher trockener Eindruck mit schönen frischen Aromen und hier auch besser zu schmeckendem Minz-Profil. Der mittel-lange Abgang primär auf den Holz-Würzigen Aromen, auch wenn die Mentholnote am Ende auch da ist. Zweifelsfrei ein sehr guter Rum, aber für meinen Geschmack gibt es bessere 2003er Vertreter.
Review by KlausS
Unfolds over time, but the nose remains restrained throughout. Much less on the nose than the palate, but very pleasant confectionary / warm sugar tones. Fruit is in the back seat. On the palate the ‘minty’ character is strongly in effect, but there is some delicate wood and a lightly perfumed character. The fruit grows with time in the glass but it is nicely balanced if not dramatically exciting.
