How does this rum taste?
Most love the powerful menthol, fruit and salted caramel at 62.8%, calling it a classic 2009 T.D.L. Critics find it a bit bitter, alcoholic and less complex than older vintages. Consensus: very good.
If you enjoy other 2009 T.D.L. or minty, dry Trinidad rums, this keeps that fresh menthol-and-peach profile with serious punch—great once you’re comfortable with cask strength.
Those sensitive to high ABV or bitterness, or drinkers expecting a soft, sweet sipper with low alcohol presence and no menthol or herbal notes.

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