Tasty but doesn't knock my socks off. Surprisingly round for 31y but hardly complex. The overall impression is more Spanish, like an old angostura, but there is virtually nothing of the typical mint and fruit and dirty caroni notes of tdl.
Many pleasing notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate; as the taste progresses, subtle spices, a recognizable roasted aroma and reduced mineral-medicinal notes join in. Knowing that recognizable Caroni notes are often present in TDLs from 1991 - which, thanks to the sometimes liberal use of casks from neighbouring distilleries, have little to do with chance - I always have some hope for the classic tar and gum aromas in 1991 Trinidad releases. These play a subordinate role here at best, which is why the overall profile is a little too straightforward. A rum that remains pleasant to drink, unfortunately without any well-founded potential for enthusiasm.
Pleasant drink, good on both nose and palate. Too bad about the alcohol which is slightly intrusive at times. In any case, the prolonged aging has given this rum great character and it definitely deserves to be tasted!
Good TDL, not quite as boring as other 91s. Slight Caroni feeling.
