How does this rum taste?
The Cadenhead's TMAH rum is a unique offering from the T.D.L distillery in Trinidad. Distilled in 1991 and aged for 24 years, this rum features a commanding 62.6% ABV. It impresses with a complex nose of woody, roasted nuts, phenol, and dried fruit notes. The palate reveals a symphony of chocolate, yellow fruits, and touch of vanilla, complemented by a robust woody character. Reviewers commend its balance, depth, and the well-integrated high alcohol content. However, some find the woody elements a bit overwhelming, and others crave more complexity. Overall, it is a solid, flavorsome choice for enthusiasts of mature T.D.L rums with a distinctive Caroni-like influence.

Great old TDL. I like the 91 style that comes across like a continental Caroni.
8,5:On the nose, the wood is roasted, toasted with smoke and burnt sugar. Bourbon yellow fruits, dried fruits are mixed with medicinal notes as plastic, wax and tar. Aeration brings out caramelized roasted nuts, cappuccino, vanilla and perhaps toffee notes and perfume Umami comes out after nice rest, as honeyed molasses and tropical fruits with maracuja, citrus as mandarine. Later we could find marzipan and tea also. All is balanced and complex. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is fruity and spicy with syrupy yellow fruits, citrus like mandarine and pepper, roasted wood and salty. We get nice, tasty chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla in play with medicinal notes as tar, plastic, petrol. After some rest, tannins are present, the rum becomes dry and after darker with molasses, black tea, licorice and dried currants Complex and round. 8,6:The finish is long, woody and fruity with dried fruits, dry. The palate notes linger on, tannins also stay.... Very pleasant rum 🙂👍...
On the nose the 24y and 25y Cadenhead‘s bottling are very close. Woody and some umami notes with a hint of fruity notes (grapes). On the plate both are again similar: Quite balanced on the palate with more vanilla and sweetness as well as fruits. The 25y gravitates a bit mir towards roasted and woody notes. Both very enjoyable.
Today there are 3x T.D.L 1st Cadenhead's 1991, 24yo: Typical T.D.L profile. More on the woody side with yellow fruits. The alcohol is well integrated. The usual dirty notes are also present. The finish is quite dry and medium-long, with increasingly dirty aromas. It lacks a little complexity. 85 pts. 2nd Rome Deluxe 2002, 20yo: Equally typical T.D.L profile. This time much less wood and not as dirty, but much fruitier. The alcohol is very well integrated, petrol mint in the long finish. Reminds me off the top of my head of the 2009 T.D.L from TheWhiskyJury. Very tasty! Now I'll have to find a whole bottle of it =P 88 pts. 3rd Blackadder 2005, 16 yo: A bottling that I didn't have on my radar until now. It also goes more in the dirty direction. There is no trace of bright fruit here. A great contrast to the Rome Deluxe. The finish is sharp compared to the other two, and the alcohol is not as well integrated. More complex than the Cadenheads. Too bad about the spicy note, but still a great rum that might develop well in the bottle! 85 pts.
