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

"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."

"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."

"Colour amber Aroma fruit, citrus, mint, eucalyptus, spices, vanilla Flavour vanilla, citrus, lemon, bergamot, yuzu, mint, eucalyptus menthol, spices, tobacco, wood Finish medium long citrus, mint, menthol, caramel, pear Complex rum finish could have been longer if it had a few extra percent of alcohol"

"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!"

"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 ☀️🍃"

"👃 une salade de fruits mûrs (mangue, pêche, goyave, banane) s'offre à nous, complétée par du caramel, de la vanille ainsi qu'un peu de citron et d'eucalyptus. 👄 on retrouve cela dans un ensemble gras, boisé, avec des fruits secs, du chocolat, légèrement épicé et vineux, avec une finale chaude mais courte par rapport à son âge. Un vieux rhum de mélasse fruité très agréable, sa douceur le rendant consensuel et sa finale invitant à se resservir 😋 Et en plus son prix est très accessible."

"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..."

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

"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!"

"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"

"Amazing - like best one according to nose, but come on - 48%..? If this is 58% it would be my top10 rum"

"Pity about the lower alcohol content otherwise a great piece of Trinidad"

"N : j'ai pas eu le temps B :gourmande puis vive sur l alcool portée par des épices et surtout la fraîcheur mentholée sur la finale qui dure. Ça part un peu trop dans les sens mais ça reste frais comme on aime. Assez complet sans être très complexe. Assez réduit tout en gardant une belle longueur. Coche les cases."

"22-05-2025 One of the better Planteray bottles. Really good nose. And taste follows the nose. 19 years in the tropics does it justice. One for the shelf."
