Famille Ricci T.D.L Exception 2000
The surprise here is how gentle a 24-year, 56% Trinidad rum can be. Instead of the blackcurrant, menthol and "garage" that longtime TDL fans expect, this one leans round and juicy — mango up front, black cherry, a whisper of mint on the back. Several tasters call it easier and more restrained than the old-school TDLs, with wood that never takes over. Give it 30 minutes in the glass.
The community says- Loads of tropical fruit
- Restrained oak
- Finish falls short

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Round, fruity 24-year Trinidad sipper A very fruity, easygoing TDL that trades the usual menthol-and-garage funk for mango and cherry. Most love it; a few miss the classic character and find the finish a bit flat.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4930 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, round, balance, fruity, light wood, faint roasted, faint solvent, light cherry, faint honey. Palate Oily, fresh, light wood, faint smoke, faint solvent, light cherry, light orange, light mint, fruity, faint caramel, medium dry. Finish Long, wood, light berries, faint caramel, light honey, light orange, light dried fruit, light dry.

Notes issues du Whisky Live Paris 2024 - à revoir et approfondir. Un TDL ultra fruité, très gourmand, mais je n'ai pas retrouvé le menthol cher à mon coeur. Plus abordable et sage que ceux que je bois habituellement, même si toujours très bon. Photo pourrie, mon iphone a perdu la tête :)
Review by cigares
Un rhum goûté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2024. Un nez très fruité, tutti frutti, avec un beau côté floral et du bois présent mais pas envahissant. Les fruits explosent aussi en bouche, les fleurs sont moins marquées. La finale est un peu décevante avec moins de fruits et pas très longue non plus. Un très beau TDL mais avec quelques limitations.

Wl 24 - good 2000 (salad of yellow fruits, a bit hint of blackcurrent) Sadly rather flat on the finish
