  • Unique aroma of dried fruits
  • Rich minty finish

The Trinidad (Bottled for Premium Spirits) rum, distilled at T.D.L in 2006, offers a unique tasting experience. With a cask strength of 60.6% ABV and limited to 283 bottles, this 15-year-old molasses-based rum features aromas of dried fruit, vanilla, and spices. Tasting notes reveal a complex woody and minty profile, complemented by salty and herbal hints. Its intense character and distinct flavor profile evoke mixed user impressions, noted for a bold alcohol presence typical of T.D.L rums. Blind tastings highlight its complexity but also challenge its drinkability without sufficient aération, often compared to Belize rums.

"Blind Tasting. Smells not at all like T.D.L, more like Belize (coconut). On the palate bear strong, massive herbs, slightly chocolaty. The alcohol could definitely be better integrated. This is no ordinary rum, but one that demands everything from the connoisseur. That's why the rating is quite tricky. Because of this stunning taste, I still give it 88 points (which could change again quickly at another tasting, however, so difficult is the rum 🤷‍♂️)."

"In der Nase noch relativ klassisch TDL wahrnehmbar. Im Mund dann schöne Komplexität. Mit der leicht salzigen Komponente, absolut speichelförderend. Mir gefällt das Profil gut, jedoch ist mir der Alkohol zu fest wahrnehmbar, das drückt die Wertung. Im Vergleich zum Rhum Attitude 2005 etwas vollmundiger."

"Indeed, at least from the nose I wouldn't have guessed TDL: At the beginning, the alcohol bites a little. Then comes a soft, almost too artificial sweetness. Vanilla with coconut milk and banana, mixed with cream toffee and scented peach. With the light smoky note behind it, it seems more like a Foursquare. Unusual here. Doesn't quite fit into the picture for me. 7,7 Palate: the TDL comes to the fore here. Powerful at the beginning with a bitter and salty sharpness. This is followed by the typical fresh mint, which replaces the bitterness. It goes well together. I like it better than the nose. 8.1 But then I can't pick it up overall. Neither fish nor meat."

"Strange, not what I am used to be from Trinidad. It is faint to the nose, needs a bit water and time in the glass. A bit sweeter, some wood influence, the rum itself is of a lighter version. Fruity on the tongue at the beginning, which fades fast however into sweetness, and then onto some fresh notes, maybe herbs. Wood and malt in the finish, a bit sharp in the burn but acceptable."
