    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense fruit and menthol aromas
    • Complex, vibrant flavour profile
    • Great value for a 14-year age

    Vivid tropical fruits and a signature minty freshness headline this 14-year-old Trinidad rum from T.D.L., selected by Swell de Spirits. The community highlights intense cherry, blackcurrant, and herbal menthol notes, balanced by wood, spice, and a touch of caramel. While some find the alcohol integration a touch assertive, most agree it’s an expressive, complex pour that shines with patience in the glass. Worth exploring for fans of fruit-forward, vibrant T.D.L. profiles.

    "Edit: enjoyed again in peace as a digestive rum after lunch at the Italian restaurant. I'm always a bit critical of Swell, but this one really won me over for once. Great bottling. Adjusted upwards a little. Unfortunately only sipped briefly when bottling. First impressions are better than the last Swell T.D.L Privat Garden #4, but a detailed tasting will follow."

    "Bitterorange/Kumquat/Minze/Eukalyptus/Eichenfass.... Super ölig, ätherisch, ölig frisch und intensiv. Könnte etwas komplexer sein. Insgesamt ist er mir zu adstringierend und holzig, hätte ich etwas mehr erwartet."

    "Great TDL mint and menthol profile, which is obviously also present in 2008 alongside the 2001-2003 vintages. Exciting, still rather fresh with subtle wood and caramel notes - earlier vintages offer even more power. However, it remains to be seen what will happen here with further ageing."

    "Balanced showing in the nose. Quite some wood with roasted notes intermingling with dried fruits (apricot) and some exotic fruits (lychee). Complex on the palate with even more fruitiness (cherry and berries) as well as a bit of herbal and minty notes. Nice bottling overall."
