TCRL Trinidad #27

Solid TDL-style rum that delivers lots of chocolate, vanilla, and creamy sweetness, turning drier and woodier on the finish. Not a showstopper but a comforting sip for fans of soft, dessert-like rums—one to try if you like sweeter Trinidad profiles.

Chocolate, vanilla, and woody cream—the Trinidad shines softly.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Schöne TDL Rum mit Minzaromen
    • Sehr leckerer Transcontinental Line
    • Schöner 🍫 ladiger Rum

    RumX members keep circling back to chocolate, vanilla, and caramel on both nose and palate—think “kräftige Schokoladen- und Haselnussnoten” (primus) and “ein Schwall Vanille beim ersten Riechen” (Harald). Flashes of orange peel show up, alongside subtler tones like minzfrische and woody creaminess; cappuccino and baking spice also make appearances. The profile leans sweet and creamy at first, with a drier, woody finish that some describe as “trocken, würzig und holzig mit Karamell”. There’s balance, but several note the alcohol isn’t fully integrated and some wish it had more punch.

    "Compared to the Rum Runner Trinidad, which I had in my glass at the same time, it is much more pleasant and more clearly Trinidad. But also not a real winner, there are better bottlings from 2006."

    "OK, no flaws but not really inspiring as well, would not have been able to attribute this to Trinidad, which can be considered a good thing: I do not like the products of Trinidad Distillers that much. A bit shy on the nose."

    "Oha, da Hab ich nicht mit gerechnet. Sehr leckerer Transcontinental Line hier auf jeden Fall. Wir haben etwas Karamell und Kakao in de Nase. Am Gaumen gibt es dann Vanille und Haselnuss, sowie Holz und Cappucino."
