How does Spirit Gallery T.D.L HEAVY 2009 taste?
Heavy, minty, serious Trinidad powerhouse
If you enjoy concentrated, minty TDLs like the 2003/2009 Roots or Bottleshop releases, this is a heavier, drier sibling with comparable depth and better‑than‑expected alcohol integration.
Newcomers, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who prefer soft, sweet and easygoing sippers over dry, woody and mentholated rums.

Powerful TDL with a clear, rather serious style. Dark fruit, molasses, leather and spicy wood on the nose, with a slight mineral note. Dense and dry on the palate with spice, tobacco, some bitter orange and a noticeable woody spiciness. Medium mint level. Concentrated and demanding, less focused on elegance than on structure. Not a simple sipper, but an honest, powerful Trinidad rum with depth and character.
Auto-translatedUnterbewertet! Jedenfalls in meinen Augen. Verkostet gegen einen der beiden T.D.L 2009 von Roots (RX20517). Der ölige Roots ist zwar brachial minzig und da geht für mich normalerweise nichts drüber; aber der Spirit Gallery 2009 gleicht das durch Rundheit und Eleganz sowie einen Cognac-Hauch aus. Außerdem ist der Alkohol trotz höheren Prozentsatzes besser eingebunden. Fazit: Gleichauf mit RX20517, kratzen beide an der 90er Marke. Ich sag's noch mal: Unterbewertet!
Auto-translatedEin weiterer T.D.L. aus 2009. Dieser Jahrgang sagt mir ein wenig mehr zu als die Minz/Menthol Bomben um 2003 rum. Finde aber aus dem Gedächtnis heraus, hat mir der 2009er vom Bottleshop ein wenig besser geschmeckt.
Auto-translatedAh ce TDL est vraiment passionnant. Le 2009 dans le fût de 2003 qui a bien marqué, il est encore plus lourd qu'en début d'année, ultra chargé, empyreumathique, complexe. Un max de fruits, un côté très heavy, du menthol, quelques épices, une finale légèrement adoucie pas le chocolat au lait. Banger!
