How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the bright, fruity TDL character and how easy it drinks at 57.5%. Expect a mild nose of vanilla, citrus and tropical fruit, then caramel, sweet molasses and a hint of mint with light wood. The finish is medium. Let it rest to open up. A newer listing with 10 reviews, it suits a lighter, fruit‑forward Trinidad style.

Small TDL (blind) crosstasting with various vintages: Down in 6th place: Dram Mor TDL 2007. Overall flat and boring, rather Spanish style. 5th place: FRC TDL 2002, lots of cannabis, beer and hops. You have to like it and be up for it. I liked the nose better than the palate. 4th place: FRC TDL 2009: restrained mint, lots of spices and cask influence. 3rd place: Single Cask Nation TDL 2003: Lots of mint and menthol overall, slightly floral/vegetable. Very good 2003 TDL, not quite at the same level as the Ricci in the cross-comparison. 2nd place: Spiritori TDL 2008: By far the dirtiest TDL in the tasting. Really good PLV! 1st place: Ricci TDL 2003: Mint, fruit and beautifully intense and complex.
T.D.L is no longer an insider tip. I have hardly had the 2007 vintage in my glass, if at all. The rum is brightly fruity with a somewhat pungent alcoholic nose and a wonderful attack on the palate, which is very reminiscent of the 2009 vintage with its mango, passion fruit and peach fruit basket. Unfortunately, the palate and finish become increasingly lax. Mint is of course also present, but very much in the background. The alcohol could be better integrated. Quasi a T.D.L 2009 light or zero.
Für mich, der ein wenig den Minzbomben überdrüssig ist, ein Vertreter, der kaum nach Minze schmeckt. Trotzallem aber auch keine wirkliche Abfüllung die mir in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Fazit das Sample hat gereicht.
A very fruity TDL with a strong cask influence. Discreet mint in the background, but maybe I'm just imagining it because it's TDL. The alcohol is well integrated. My first TDL from 2007, very good PLV.
