Thompson Bros. T.D.L Trinidad Rum

"It's exciting how the minty notes run through the various post-2000s TDL vintages. There are also spices, wood, marzipan sweetness and some fruit and tea. What is striking here is how strongly the mint aromas benefit from the influences of longer maturation. The mint and menthol aromas are still very dominant here, and I feel that the flavor counterpart at eye level is somewhat lacking. The rating is therefore not quite on the same level as other TDLs of this era."

"Intense, woody and spicy T.DL. Tastes very good to me"

"Na nose je to v první řadě takové podivně zatuchlé. Později se protlačí kořeněná ovocitost, která láká ochutnat. Chuť je komplexní, ale očekávání trinidad koření, a nakonec i dost máty. Dlouhý intenzivní závěr."

"Great indie Scottisch bottler. With a very affordable line of Whisky and Rum releases. Great bar. Friendly people. TDL. Another distillery that released varied, sometimes dirty, but always fruity rums...when being released by the indies. This one starts of very smoky, burnt, thick, woody. A dirty layer over dries cherries. At least in the nose. Taste: smoky still, but gets less over time. There are the famous TDL berries. Red fruits. Medloul Dates. A bit dirty. A bit fresh. A whiff of menthol. Pretty classic modern TDL."

"Nez : on a la gourmandise du sucre / caramel. Le fruit jaune / pêche confite. On a un boisé mélangé à un caoutchouc légèrement brûlé. Un peu de chocolat. Mentholé et des épices. On a un côté tourbé / vinaigré de la sauce barbecue. Fraîcheur + gourmandise + heavy et le tout est bien équilibré avec une légère prédominance pour la gourmandise. Après une grosse aeration c’est la gourmandise à fond avec les fruits, le caramel / crème brûlée. Bouche : explosion sur les fruits. très gourmand en bouche, le côté fruit exotique (mangue) confite et la pêche qui reste omniprésente. L’alcool est bien intégré. Malgré les 60,5 ça relève les arômes mais ça prend pas le dessus. Le menthol revient sur la fin de bouche et sur la finale enrobée de caoutchouc."

"The profile is straight and even mild, but definitely not what you would expect from TDL"

"A big improvement from the 502 TDL from Thompson bros. A generous and inviting nose, all sweet brown sugar and dried fruits with an edge of alcohol, good and wel put together. The mouth leads on with confidence, maggi and cinnamon apple on the front, moving to a more smokey and sweet middle with a meaty bacon element. It’s spicy but not over powering and works well. The finish is more spicy, with pepper and more bacon alongside a lingering and warm finish. All in a solid and impressive TDL rum, benefiting from the tropical aging. Worth a sample if you can find one"
