How does this rum taste?
- 21-year aging
- Smooth drinkability
- Unique flavor profile
Heads & Tails Rum, distilled in 1999 at Trinidad's T.D.L distillery and bottled by The Whisky Agency, presents an intriguing profile. This 52.7% ABV rum, aged 21 years, exhibits a notable aroma with strong alcoholic notes, caramel, and chocolate undertones. Taste profiles often highlight chocolate and spice above a thin, sharp body with a touch of cognac. While some appreciate its smooth drinkability, many users feel it lacks typical T.D.L complexity, often perceiving it as whisky-like and overly diluted. Notable for its uniqueness but polarizing, it may appeal to those exploring beyond conventional rum boundaries. Ideal for some, less ideal for traditionalists.

"Phew, so if all TDLs from the 1999 vintage, which I've never tasted before, are as whisky-like as this bottling, then the vintage can stay stolen from me. No comparison to the bottlings of the following millennium."
"Ganz so schlecht finde ich ihn nicht, aber normalerweise sind TDL besser. Nase besteht für mich überwiegend aus Whisky, ansonsten ist noch etwas Alkohol zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann sehr scharfkantig, ansonsten vielleicht noch etwas Schokolade und Karamell erkennbar."
"On the nose the profile is distinctly different to the 2000s TDLs. Less complexity with a more Spanish style showing. Caramel, some chocolate accompanied by some fruits. Alcohol is a bit to present even after plenty time in the glas. Overall not bad, but also not overly exiting. On the palate, this one is very smooth to drink - to frame it positively. The rum feels watered down leaving a rather unexciting profile. Sweetness, some chocolate with hints of tropical fruits."
"This T.D.L is a disappointment... weak aromas on the nose, as well as on the palate... and also quite one-dimensional ... alcohol barely perceptible. The dilution is too strong. Too bad... I had expected more"
