"Like a light Caroni with mint" is how one taster nailed it. This 29-year TDL leans dry and woody — cedar, menthol, anise and a bit of that dirty, medicinal edge, with tannin and only faint fruit. The nose reads generic at first; give it time in the glass and it opens up. A few felt it tastes slightly watered down despite the high strength.
The community says- Menthol and mint
- Caroni-like dirty notes
- Keep in mind: Dull nose at first

How does Thompson Bros. T.D.L Trinidad Rum 1991 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, woody old TDL with a mint streak Well-liked but no one calls it thrilling. A woody, minty old Trinidad with Caroni-ish dirty notes — needs time in the glass, and some find it thin for the ABV.

A lively nose with caramel, menthol, dried herbs, cedar wood, nuts and dried fruit with a light volatile/spicy edge. The palate is immediately reminiscent of damp old wood, and the other aromas struggle to emerge. Dried fruit, vanilla, menthol and good acidity are present, but in the background. A hint of Caroni revives my interest. The finish is beautiful and more balanced, even if it's not very long, and the Caroni, but not HTR, aspect is also present. The first palate, too marked by wood, is the weak point of this rum. Perhaps my sample came from a slightly stale bottle.

Somehow unround. A mixture of a longer stored, diluted neutral alcohol with a little menthol.
Review by zabo
The bottling is not really that great. I can't deny that both typical T.D.L and even Caroni notes can be tasted. Nevertheless, the nose is pretty unspectacular at first. Even after some time in the glass, not much more happens. On the palate, it does have notes of neutral alcohol and seems a little watered down. All in all, interesting but not an absolute hit.
Review by Leo Krüper
Very nice profile. Like a light Caroni with notes of mint.
Review by DomM
Much rounder on the nose versus the both Cadenhead‘s. Less harshness and umami notes with rounded edges. Vanilla is more accentuated in this one with a vanilla creme vibe to it. Also very well balanced on the palate with fruits, crème brûlée and woodiness. All working very well together.
Review by Jarek
Quite tasty but not outstanding and unspectacular. Nice nose, pleasing and sweet on the palate. Alcohol stings a little. Addendum: After a longer time in the glass, it becomes more interesting. A few notes reminiscent of a light Caroni appear on the nose, but the sweet notes tend to recede into the background.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
In itself an interesting, really old TDL with slight Caroni overtones... Overall, however, it seems strangely watered down. The finish is relatively medicinal and dirty, with notes of tropical fruits and again a lot of mint! Not bad, but on the other hand it doesn't really get me...
Review by mto75
worlds better than the 91 / 26yr SBS TDL.
Review by Filip Šikula
Blind, I would quite confidently say this could be a Caroni. Dirty, volatile aroma with a slight hint of mint. After the sip, technical flavors linger, which I really like. Close behind, mint comes through, and the finish is long, sweet, and very nice. Alcohol perfectly integrated.
Review by Lot-NAS
The nose is pretty boring and kind of generic. And you wouldn’t be expected this kind of sweet thick palate with caramel in all variations and dried fruits, vanilla and a lot of wood. Probably not the most complex one but overall a really great TDL.
Review by JFehr
Balanced, but somewhat insignificant. Warm and minty.
Review by Mentalo
It needs time in the glass, but then it positively surprised me with its dirty notes, mint and light sweetness.

21-12-2024 The best TDL I have tasted in a long time. Very sudden and smooth. ABV great integrated
Review by Oleh
In a blind tasting, it is easy to confuse it with whiskey)
Review by KlausS
Mint and pool chemical on the nose. Quite a TDL palate, but with lots of wood and tannin and not much fruit. A bit challenging and alcohol slightly less integrated than I would like.
Review by Pavel Spacek
After years the rum is mild but the mint profile disapeared
