    Fantastic daily sipper with great PLV. TDL typical mint with some fruit, but more wood and spice. Nevertheless, it lacks the depth and complexity compared to the TDL top shots from the various vintages after 2000.

    Exciting TDL with round sweetness, green tobacco notes as well as wood and spices, which are paired with mint flavors on the palate. Overall, an interesting, if not mind-blowing, melange that has few rough edges, making it a nice entry into the Trinidad spectrum away from the pure focus on Spanish style.

    Während der Plantation One Time Limited Trinidad 2009 so etwas wie einen kleinen Hype erlebte, blieb die La Maison du Rhum Abfüllung von der Aufmerksamkeit immer etwas unter dem Radar. Zu unrecht, wie ich finde. Schon auf dem GRF 2022 hat er mir gut gefallen. Ich habe ihn gleich nach dem RdL und Cadenhead 2002 probiert und er kann überraschend gut mithalten. Die floralen Noten sind eher krautig und nicht so betont einzig, ähnliches gilt für die gelbe Frucht, die kein saftiger Pfirsich ist. Ihm fehlt etwas die Tiefe. Begleitet werden Kräuter und Frucht von zartem Rauch, Orangenlimo, etwas Tabak und Vanille, tropische Früchte (Mango), die Idee in Solero Eis. Im Mund leichter als der Cadenhead bei gleicher Stärke. Auch hier dennoch ein schönes TDL Profil mit Kräutern und inzwischen überwiegend tropischen Früchten. Dazu kommt gerade Richtung Abgang eine wilde rauchige Specknote. Nase - Mund - Abgang, das Profil bleibt sehr ähnlich (außer der Speck) Ich mag den Rum (lieber als den Plantation). Ein sehr schöner easy-sipper aus Trinidad. Das Preis-Leistungen-Verhältnis ist hervorragend!

    A good selection combining heaviness and freshness. In line with the TDL Excellence rum with notes of coffee and red fruits. Two nice expressions of what Trinidad can produce outside of Caroni without having to be ashamed. Superb value for money.
