T.D.L Plantation Trinidad Tokaj Finish (Sélection Exclusive-Fut) 2009

If you like a woody, cigar-friendly sipper with a twist, this Trinidad column-still rum earns a look. Members find dark chocolate, red-wine and dried-fruit notes from the Tokaj cask, brown sugar and a peppery, spicy finish. A few flag a faint machine-oil/solvent edge and call it sweeter and rougher than expected. Interesting rather than polished — and at 52.5% it carries some heat.

The community says
  • Dark chocolate aftertaste
  • Red-wine cask notes
  • But: Sweeter than expected

Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.

Woody, chocolatey Trinidad with a wine-cask twist Well-liked but not universal: chocolate, red wine and spice with a woody backbone. Several found it sweeter and rougher around the edges than they wanted from a Trinidad rum.

Nose: Fruity, chocolate, little caramel. Taste: A very easy rum too drink, i tasted brown sugar, some dried fruit, raisins, some different spicies, oak and a light smoke. It is a rum well worth its price tag.

This finish can not convince me! The nose is dominated by heavy , fermented grapes, coupled with freshness and sweet spices! On the palate, hardly any fruit is perceived, but a dark sweetness and a lot of spice! The finish is okay, at the very end then comes out some dried fruit!

Not bad but could have been better. Sweeter than expected and a bit rough around the edges.

Angostura is famous for a bottle most people never drink neat. The bitters house founded in 1824 became Trinidad's only rum distillery, and its arm Trinidad Distillers makes a clean, column-distilled, Spanish-style rum unlike the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. The same plant still guards the secret recipe for the world's most famous cocktail bitters.
