La Maison Du Whisky T.D.L Rhum Trinidad (Flag Series) 2001
Anyone chasing that classic TDL profile will find plenty here: heavy menthol and eucalyptus, camphor, tobacco and dark chocolate over candied citrus and tropical fruit. At 65.6% it's a monster, but tasters say the alcohol sits surprisingly well. One member even likens the fruit to "floral and fruity" bonbons. A long, tannic, almost meaty finish shows the 20 years in cask.
The community says- Huge menthol-camphor character
- Long complex finish
- Cask-strength heat

Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Intense, minty, camphor-heavy old TDL sipper Most tasters love this: intense, complex and deeply minty with a very long finish. A couple felt it didn't quite match the hype, and one found the finish faintly off.
Experienced drinkers who love mentholated, camphor-rich TDL and Caroni-style profiles

Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
A first deep and mysterious nose that quickly becomes discreet and comes back to the attack then on candied fruits and a minty cocoa. Straightforward mouthfeel with powerful depth 🔥this is a monster!!! It is both complex and concrete. The finish is long and makes me feel like I've eaten a nice piece of meat with a glass of red wine. I am a fan ❤❤
Review by mick
On the nose, well, it's shy tdl, you think shit, not wow and you're not going to spend time sniffing, but the attack isn't the same, a little astringent, you sit down in an old leather armchair, notes of camphor, light menthol, wowowoow it doesn't finish, a deep throat settles in, tastes of stale meat/tobacco, licorice mingle with dark fruit, the woodiness is impeccable and fresh, there's menthol, yes of course, but it doesn't take over the mouth like on the other 2001s, violent, elegant, magnificent..
Review by TheRhumhoe
A truly delicious and surprising Trinidad rum. The nose is typical of TDLs, with blackcurrant and menthol, but also tropical and candied fruits, spices, slightly empyreumatic flavors reminiscent of Caroni, tobacco and notes of camphor, making for a very rich and pleasant olfactory profile. On the palate, the attack is intense and highly aromatic, carried by those notes of hydrocarbons, rubber and tar so dear to Caroni, but also by the abundance of tropical fruits, sweet spices and the scent of eucalyptus and menthol that perfume the palate to give a complex, terribly effective and delicious blend. The alcohol is also very well integrated, with a long finish of smoky flavors, menthol, tropical fruit, licorice and delicate woodiness. A real taste delight.
Review by Joe95
Excellent! A good TDL on notes at the same time empyreumatic, fruity and slightly spicy. Camphor and mentholated touch. An interminable finish. A must!
Review by Pavel Spacek
So floral and fruity. Like bompary bonbons :)
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4829 13.08.2024 Enjoying some samples. Nose Round, medium intense, light wood, light chocolate, citrus, faint coffee, light earthy. Palate Light oily, round, light wood, faint roasted, mint, light citrus, faint chocolate, faint coffee, faint rubber, light earthy. Finish Medium to long, light oily, wood, light roasted, light mint, berries, spice. The empty glass has light caramel and the mint has turned towards eucalyptus.
Review by Mike H.
82 points. Classic TDL flavors, but there’s something that I just can’t put my finger on that disturbs me in the finish. Also too expensive for what it is.
Review by Christopher Morrison
Quite powerful and very woody, blackcurrant very greedy, slight minty note that was much more present in the nose. Acidic point, nice complexity and length. It is very good, but certainly not at the level of hype however
