    How does CoR T.D.L Trinidad Xmas 2025 Edition 2016 taste?

    Dry, minty Trinidad for TDL fans
    Who is this rum for?

    If you already enjoy T.D.L or Foursquare and want something drier and mint-driven at a higher proof, this hits that niche without being full-on cask strength.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers who prefer sweet, rounded rums or creamy mouthfeel, and anyone sensitive to bitterness or noticeable alcohol at just over 50% ABV.

    Recht junger TDL der ein solides Geschmacksprofil aufweist, jedoch nicht wirklich komplex ist. Früchte und leichte Minze in der Nase. Den Alkohol kann man ebenfalls leicht wahrnehmen. Im Gaumen dann deutlich stärkere Minze, zudem etwas Holz und Bitterorange, welche im Abgang noch lange spürbar ist.

    Auto-translated

    Also dies ist auch ein sehr krasser T.D.L die Minze ist natürlich wieder überragend und hervorstechend bei diesem Rum. Ansonsten ist er noch leicht holzig, aber halt überwiegend minzig nach T D.L schmeckend.

    Auto-translated

    I did let this rum sit in the glass for a good 20 minutes before the review. On the nose: Minty, woody and roasted notes. Mild spices, leather and dried fruits. Little bit of alcoholic on the nose. Taste: Minty notes. Oily mouthfeel. Fruity notes. Citrus notes. Thin notes. A bit alcoholic Finish: Mint notes, woody notes, roasted. Little bit of fruity notes. Quite dry finish. This rum has its moments, but perhaps too thin notes and oily for my liking.

    Auto-translated

    #1719 16-01-2026 - Rate 8.6 Another TDL from The Colours of Rum. Have been very found of their 2016 releases in 2025 and Up Spirits #3 But what about this one with 10% lower ABV? It delivers. Nose of tropical fruit, mint, wood, leather and spices. Palate follows close. Long finish dominated by wood, mint and leather.
