    How does this rum taste?

    Minty, salty, powerful TDL delight
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy other 2009 TDLs or minty, herbal cask‑strength rums, this keeps that signature freshness while adding peachy fruit and salted caramel—great when you’re ready for a punchier Trinidad.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to high ABV or bitterness, or drinkers preferring sweet, soft rums without herbal mint and tannic, slightly salty finishes.

    Nose: caramel, popcorn, red fruits, well rounded. Palate: full TDL as I like it, lots of red and yellow fruit, well-integrated oak, some tannins, well-integrated spices. Finish: long, fruity, smoky with a menthol veil that gradually thickens. I was skeptical when I first tasted it, but in the end I fell in love with it! TDL as I like it.

    Auto-translated

    Menthol, blackcurrant and smoky triptych. Very well-balanced. Excellent

    Auto-translated

    This one blows your socks off. What a impressive flavour concentration. The finish is really really long too. I had to proof it down a bit by adding water to enjoy it even more.

    Un TDL de plaisir qui a plus d’un arôme dans sa robe. Le nez est assez doux sur les épices (poivre, piment doux, vanille, réglisse), le cuir, le boisé et les notes sucrées (caramel, sucre brun, popcorn) mais dévoile peu à peu les arômes typiques de la distillerie : le menthol, l’eucalyptus, le thé noir, les fleurs, les fruits (pêche, cassis) parfument les narines. Un profil aguicheur et agréable. L’attaque en bouche passe un nouveau cap d’intensité avec des notes chargées de menthol, d’essence et de goudron. Les épices et les notes salées viennent avec le boisé rôti et le caramel brun dans un deuxième temps. On retrouve également les fruits secs, les pêches, les fruits rouges et le thé noir. Le profil est frais mais sec, avec une texture huileuse. L’alcool est bien intégré à l’ensemble. La finale est longue, mélangeant le registre de la rondeur des épices et du sucre brun aux notes plus intenses sur le menthol, les notes minérales et limite terpéniques. Les fruits secs, la pêche et les fruits rouges donnent un peu de gourmandise à cette finale sèche et tannique. Un joli TDL qui se boit très bien pour son Millésime et son âge.
