    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this 15‑year T.D.L. for its dirty, caroniesque character wrapped in caramel, leather and a cool mint note. Expect a woody, oily palate with tropical fruit flashes (mango, papaya) and a long, fresh finish. Despite 64.4% cask strength, many find the alcohol well integrated and the value outstanding. A popular pick on RumX (55 reviews) and a limited release of 335 bottles.

    WoW🤤😛😮‍💨! Eine gewaltige Nase die an einen fruchtigen Caroni erinnert! Am Gaumen kommt dann immer mehr die klassische TDL Minze hervor. Hier gesellen sich Trockenpflaume, Mango und starke Mocha Noten dazu. Das Finish ist trocken, vanillig und fruchtig. Wobei hier die Minze die Überhand nimmt und extrem lange im Mund bleibt. Der Alkohol ist extrem gut eingebunden. Weiter so Spiritori 👍🏻👊🏻💪🏻Merci!

    Das müsste mein zweiter T.D.L 2008 sein. Der erste von Vagabond ist absolute Klasse! Die Messlatte ist also ziemlich hoch. Wow, der ist super. Was für ein Vollmundiger Antritt, süße Früchte, insbesondere Dunkle, überfallen einen quasi. Dazu eine für Trinidad bekannte Dreckigkeit. Der Abgang ist lang und der Alkohol ist top integriert. Ein toller Rum. Danke für sas Sample @Thedunderhut

    Very strong TDL. Light but fine eucalyptus note to the usual heavy TDL markers.

    From the first impression a very successful bottling, great cask selection. It has everything you would expect from the 2008/2009 vintage. From memory, however, I liked the T.D.L from the Bottle Shop a little better. But a comparison is still pending.
