T.D.L Planteray One Time Limited Edition Trinidad TDL 2003 2003

This rum absolutely thrilled me with its pronounced aromas of menthol, eucalyptus and above all the fresh mint note. The profile is clear, intense and exactly to my taste. For me, the high rating is mainly due to the strong price-performance ratio. I am not active in the absolute high-end sector, which is precisely why this rum is a hit for me. If you like fresh, minty notes, you should definitely try it!

So, if we take a look at the big picture, which is the principle of a conclusion, we have: A fine concentration of aromas typical of TDL 2003. A reduction that keeps the fatness and pleasure of tasting at its best. Classy packaging. An insane price, less expensive than a bad white rum from I don't know where. But.... go for it, people! Go for it, because there won't be many of these priced like this.... We're talking about a 22-year-old rum, aren't we!

best of all others from vintage collection rums, i would prefer higher voltage and longer taste and that is only - i see here

A quick taste of the whisky house lounge. I really wasn't expecting this from a rhum rhum, a fait de la colle, which comes out at €85. It's got all the makings of a good Trinidad, fruit, menthol, a little wood. Not super complex but super pleasant. I'll raise the price a bit for the effort.

I am very impressed. The reviews so far have been rather positive, but I still wouldn't have expected that at this price. The nose has everything I expect from a 2003 TDL. Mint, menthol, berries, ripe fruit, a nice sweetness. In my opinion, it doesn't have to hide from its cask-strength brothers as far as the nose is concerned. The palate has everything the nose promises. Of course, due to the dilution, this is not as intense and long-lasting as one is used to from the single casks, but larger sips are possible here and the Planteray is in a different league in terms of price. For me, it's the PLV hit of the year so far!

Was für ein Preis-Leistungsverhältnis! Für 60 Euro bekommt man die typische komplexe TDL 2003-Keule! Minze, Früchte, Holz, leichte Caroni-Noten, tolle Komplexität, Alkohol super eingebunden. Ein komplexer easy sipper! Hammer! Für den Preis muss ich noch einen Punkt extra geben…

Freshness and sweetness without breaking the bank. Ripe yellow fruit on the nose, with a hint of wood and menthol. On the palate, juicy mango, exotic fruit and a mint leaf finish. A sensation of freshness, an oily texture, a gentle alcohol content... It drinks itself! Perfect for lounging in the sun ☀️🍃

That is crazy value for money which is lacking these days. The rum itself is extremely delicious, oily and minty. The 47% are great, don t be afraid rum geeks ! It's a very good choice for a reduction and it is still packed with tons of flavours. What a surprise from planteray, thx guys !!!

Bringt alles mit was man von einem guten 2003er TDL erwartet. Für ~60€ bekommt man hier wirklich viel für sein Geld! Einen so alten Single cask heutzutage noch für unter 100€ zu bekommen ist wirklich außergewöhnlich! Aromatisch findet sich hier wie zu erwarten war viel Minze, etwas Eukalyptus und Virginia Tabak, sowie Zitrusfrüchte (Zitrone , Mandarine und yuzu) und gelbes Kernobst wie Birnen und Mirabelle, begleitet von viel Holz und intensiven Tanninen, sowie leicht medizinischen (salzig bitter jodig) Beiklängen. Der reduzierte Alkoholgehalt erhöht den Trinkfluss deutlich. Muss sich definitiv nicht hinter teils 3-4x so teuren Schwesterfässern in Fassstärke verstecken! Mir ist er nur insgesamt etwas zu holzig und trocken im Abgang...

Ein echtes Fundstück – was man hier fürs Geld bekommt, ist kaum zu fassen. Dieser Trinidad-Rum überrascht mit einem wunderbar klaren, minzig-medizinischen Einschlag, der sich durch Nase und Gaumen zieht, ohne je aufdringlich zu wirken. Dahinter baut sich eine komplexe Mischung aus kräftiger Würze, dunklem Holz und reifen Tropenfrüchten auf – alles sauber eingebunden und sehr ausgewogen. Mit der Zeit zeigen sich zudem feine Tabaknoten und ein Hauch von angenehmer Muffigkeit, die dem Rum eine zusätzliche Tiefe verleihen. Ein großes Dankeschön an die Community für die vielen Tipps – ohne euch wäre mir dieser Tropfen wohl durchgerutscht.

Quelle belle bouteille ! Dans tout les sens du terme, plaisir des yeux avec un très joli packaging, un parfum frais mentholé et fruité qui annonce une dégustation d un TDL que l on aime pour ces caractéristiques. Vu son prix, c est une véritable aubaine.

Bottle just opened. Note to be confirmed. 👃 Upon opening, a beautiful caramelized, vanilla and spicy note. Then we find the characteristic combination of 2003 TDLs, mint, yellow fruit (dominant) and tropical (receding). The menthol moves towards the scent of the eponymous essential oils. 😋 I'm impressed by the intensity of the mint/eucalyptus flavor, especially for a fairly high dilution of the blend. There's that characteristic freshness found on camphor. Quite a lot of peppery spice and fruit too at the start of the palate (more yellow fruit), followed by the lovely flavor of blackcurrant mixed with tea. Herbaceous enough, almost like a TDL 2002. ⛳ Quite drying, slightly bitter, on dark berries, mint and tea leaves. A melted vanilla woodiness keeps the aromas relatively long on the palate despite dilution, again. All the markers of a typical TDL from the 2003 vintage are present, more or less lightly depending on the aromas. I'm leaning more towards the balance and roundness of the aromas than their relative complexity. At a PVC of around €65-70, this is one of the best value-for-money wines of 2025. A must-have for discovering Trinidad Distillers Limited.

Nearly impossible price to quality ratio. To me it is very pleasant trinidad with minty/medicinal notes everywhere. Lot of spice and wood followed by tropical fruit Faintly musty with tobacco hints

Fulfills all the criteria expected of a Trinidad rum. Nice mint note, slightly roasted caramel and fruitiness. Yellow fruits and a little chocolate, a hint of vanilla and black tea. Slightly bitter and dry on the finish. A little peppery on the back and subtle woody and fruity notes. Top for the price.
