Rhum Attitude T.D.L Bruxelles 2006

Most tasters land in "good, not great" territory here: a 16-year Trinidad TDL that's woody and sweet, with caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and a cooling menthol streak running through. The recurring gripe is the alcohol — at 64%, several felt the heat wasn't fully tamed and covered some nuance. One reviewer even said it drank more like Foursquare than a typical TDL.

The community says
  • Caramel-vanilla sweetness
  • Cooling menthol note
  • But: Hot alcohol

Summarized by AI from 32 community reviews.

Woody, sweet Trinidad with a hot, minty edge Well-liked as an easygoing, oak-and-caramel Trinidadian with a minty edge. The catch several noted: at cask strength the alcohol isn't fully integrated and it lacks real complexity.

8.2/10

A solid TDL representative, which is still predominantly sweet on the nose with a heavy caramel sweetness, but then opens up a little more on the palate and offers subtle fruit aromas and menthol notes alongside spices. It seems very balanced, which leaves me a little too little room for the deeper aromas - but the release remains very appealing.

Alcohol unfortunately not well integrated. Light mint, wood, chocolate. Overall lacks complexity.

8.3/10

Last one in my TDL line up today. A handfill from the Rhum Attitude shop in Brussels a friend brought me. 16 years old. Nose: despite the heavy alcohol this one seems the most closed. Needs time. Cinnamon is the first that pops up. Some fruit. Everything is faint. Let's just taste. T: okay weirdly enough this reminds me loads of FourSquare instead of TDL. Much lighter in style. American Oak. Lots of wood. Bit of mint. Coffee. Such a different style than the other TDL I had. Almost like it's a blend with FS. Weird one. Good but least of the bunch. Will try again. Maybe the one before this killed all nuance.

Avg Rating 8.3/10 over 420 Rums

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.
