    How does T.D.L Plantation Trinidad 2003 taste?

    Sweet, easy, but quite watered down
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like sweet, gentle rums like other entry-level Plantation releases, this lands in the same lane—just know it’s lighter and less ‘Trinidad’ than purists might hope.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers seeking dry, powerful or clearly authentic Trinidad/T.D.L character, anyone sensitive to added sugar, and enthusiasts who dislike watered-down or heavily sweetened profiles.

    Aroma

    Vanilla Candied Cherry Banana

    Taste

    Sweet Vanilla Raisin Butterscotch

    Good value for money !

    Eiche, Vanille und Arrak in der Nase und etwas Süße von tropischen Früchten. Der Geschmack ist sehr süß und schmeckt leicht verwässert. Leider kommt von den Typischen Trinidad Noten nur ein Hauch durch. Der Abgang ist holzig mit einem schwachen Hauch von Leder, Gewürzen und Tabak. Leider nicht so der Hit.

    Auto-translated

    Beautiful matte for a bottle under 100e. Although alcohol can be felt, but very drinkable. I recommend it even to beginners for discovering new flavours. Mata from TDL is an unmistakable taste that you will never get tired of.

    Auto-translated

    Oak, vanilla and arrak on the nose and some sweetness from tropical fruits. Taste is not as sweet as hinted by the nose but rather a burnt or roasted oak flavour. I think I sense some peppery tones along with some dried fruits. The finish is woody with a faint touch of leather, spice and tobacco.
