Distilia T.D.L The Golden Age of Piracy Bartholomew Roberts Black Bart 1991
Highly praised for its long oak aging, dark chocolate, caramel and tobacco notes with a touch of minty tar. A powerful, characterful Trinidad rum that rewards slow, attentive sipping.
Enthusiasts who enjoy dry, cask‑strength Trinidad rums with strong oak, tobacco, caramel and dark chocolate, leaning slightly towards whisky and subtle Caroni‑like tar notes.

You can smell and taste the 31 years of ageing right from the start. The strong influence of the cask is accompanied by coffee, caramel, chocolate and dried fruit. Despite the long ageing period, the alcohol is not perfectly integrated and is almost a little intrusive, but this is not uncommon at over 60%. Still recommended as a sample.
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.
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.
