Sip this one neat and the mint hits first — full menthol, black tea and a cool mineral streak that runs right through it. Underneath sits dry molasses, a little licorice and roasted-wood caramel, with a dab of green pepper and citrus keeping it fresh. At 59.9% the alcohol is remarkably well integrated for the proof. One taster called the finish a "Fisherman's Friend" moment, and that's the whole appeal.
The community says- Full menthol nose
- Well-integrated 60%
- But: Very mint-forward

Cool minty Trinidad heavy, dry and menthol-driven The recurring verdict is a serious minty T.D.L done right — fresh, dry and cleanly balanced, with the alcohol well integrated. A couple find it too easygoing for the vintage.

Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
I had high hopes for this rum and they were not disappointed. It's the full mint-menthol charge, with a nice helping of Indian chai with candied ginger, plus bitter citrus and some green peppers. Classy!In the mouth, similar profile of mint, tea and a salty-vegetable note - not the highest complexity, but nice balance of dirt and easy-sipping. 17 years of tropical aging and wood and alcohol super integrated.Finish like an anise Fisherman's Friend 🤪🤤🤩Found it so good, had to empty the whole sample right away.Tasted again together with the RA 2001: The RA is dominated by dirt and gasoline, the TCRL by citrus, green peppers and caramel, which stands out clearly just in contrast. I like the profile of the TCRL more.Thanks, Frederic!Edit:In crosstasting, I tried the RA, TCRL, Nobilis, Plantation Antipodes and the new Rasta Morris. The rums are incredibly similar - esp the Nobilis and RM are barely distinguishable. The RA stands out because of the dilution, the Plantation is clearly marked by the cognac barrel - it moves it closer to the 2003s - and the TCRL is the freshest, with an unusual herbal note. It was somewhat reminiscent of the 2002s including the falernum note.The TRCL stands out. It is much brighter than the other 2001s and brings that awesome herbal note. In the mouth it opens up with an acidity that is fresher than beilden others. The alcohol integration is top notch. Tonight it is the best of the 5.Points 2There will be individual or paired sessions again because I always find such large crosstastings difficult and the specific notes are eaten by the similarities .
Review by Oliver
Wow, full blast of mint on the nose. On the palate, the typical mint note of the 2001 T.D.L bottlings continues. The mouthfeel is creamy and intense. Like a "mojito for adults." 😜Who stands on mint comes here fully at his expense. Very good T.D.L!

Review by Timo Groeger
Phew, yeah this one is intense, but I think the next one will be too :) First impression, seriously strong mint on the nose and palate. It calms down a bit, very mineral and medicinal, but still minty above all.
Review by Andi
On the nose, very clear TDL notes from the vintages 2001-2003, nicely fresh minty, menthol, tea, slightly spicy and some wood. On the palate immediately minty, menthol, black tea plus a mineral note, it stays dry. A hint of sweetness can be guessed, possibly caramel. But before you taste that, some licorice comes through. For me, a super successful bottling.
Review by Leo Krüper
Solider 2001er TDL, der nicht in die Minzrichtung abdriftet. Auch keine Fehlnoten im Abgang wie einige der anderen Fässer dieses Vintage. Rundum gelungener Rum, allerdings wenig Ecken und Kanten für einen TDL. Sehr gefällig, was sicher auch seine Freunde hat. Für mich jedoch zu gewöhnlich.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Very expressive, concentrated nose. Very ripe exotic fruits (mango, papaya and also peach) and motor oil that flirts with essential massage oils. A touch of homemade caramel custard. A beautiful woody bousiné. A heavy TDL that comes close to a Caroni HTR 98. A camphorated mouthfeel, as we like with this vintage. Lots of lychees. Fresh. Exotic fruit dominates (mango, star fruit). Medium-length astringent finish compared with other 2001s (RM, RA). Damp herbs when the glass is empty. Verdict: I prefer this TCRL to the antipodean plantation LMDW 2001, but a notch below the magnificent Rasta Morris. Current ranking of 2001 TDLs tasted to date: RM > caksus > RA batch 1 = TCRL > plantation
Review by Filip Šikula
The guys at Transcontinental Rum really nailed this one. Beautiful menthol-technical nose, complex taste experience that shoots this piece to the top of the Transcontinental Rum line production. Really delicious.
Review by Johannes
Wow, another rich minty note!
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Super TDL, peppermint on the nose, blackcurrant, a bit of tar, warm woody notes but crushed just right, nice balance, very good!
