Review by Mirco
Wonderful bottling, as a fan of mint and menthol notes I really get my money's worth here. I really like the combination with peach and black tea. I'm delighted with how TDL has developed in recent years.
Review by Alexander Rasch
I really like that. With a little time, this TDL develops very nicely. I really like the nice clearly definable fruit, freshness and mint. Great bottling. Really fun. 2009 has thus earned a place in the top TDL Vintage.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
The 2009 TDLs are developing more and more into the little brother of the 2003 vintage. I wonder what influence the cask has on the heavier, minty aromas. They are much more pronounced here than in the Plantation OTL or the LMDR. The nose is in line with my favorite TDL profile: ripe peach, mango, mint and a nice mix of spice and chemical flavors. Really surprisingly ripe and beautiful for a 2009. The mouth continues similarly, with the typical black tea, citrus and some tobacco. I have now tasted it against the Caksus CDI 2003 and it would probably be hard to tell the difference blind. The fruit is clearer and brighter in the CDI 2003, the aromas in the Dram Mor are less defined and the finish lacks the intense, very long mint. So far the best 2009 I've tasted. I'm pleased that the heavy TDLs are not limited to the 2001-2003 vintages. Update: tasted again against the TWJ 2009. The rums are the same. Extremely similar, the 5% more alcohol does not affect the TWJ, the TWJ is a shade darker with more brown caramel. Update: Three times TDL 2009, all three released within a year. I've had Dram Mor and TWJ together in the glass before and could hardly tell them apart. The three rums are also extremely similar in the rest of the tasting. The Dram Mor brings a little more acidity in the mouth, the FRC is the biggest fruit bomb with an intense mango note, the TWJ is very similar to the FRC, a little wilder in the mouth. In the end, the same score for all 3. A super batch, very tasty!
Review by Timo Groeger
And the next Agricole. But this rum is also great. Smells and tastes beautifully of tropical fruit. A nice mint and peach flavor. You can't say anything against it. A very tasty rum, top of the range.
Review by Filip Šikula
Every time she blows up on me like this you have somewhere where I don't expect her on first impression I'm thrilled. Intense notes of mint and peach on the nose. A hint of cocoa. On the palate it's mint, mint, peaches and more mint. Reminiscent of some of the 2003 bottlings. Wonderful.
Review by Jakob
Nicely pronounced minty aromas, relaxed to drink. Surprising to find this profile in a TDL after 2003.
Review by Thunderbird
The first of my 2009 TDLs this evening. And the start with the Dram Mor is already very good. The fresh mint aroma carries through from the nose to the finish. As does the fruitiness of the peach. I also detect a hint of smokiness on the nose. The smokiness is joined on the palate by some roastiness, black tea and herbs. The finish is slightly bitter at the end. There is definitely a comparison to the 2003 bottlings here
Review by Joël
I like it very much because the mint and menthol are not as present for me as with other T.DLs.
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
A bit smoky, spicy and greedy on the nose, very pleasant! Blackcurrant on the palate! Very good Trinidad! Nice freshness on the finish!
Review by Rum_diver
A very nice TDL rum, quite oaky, dry and spicy. Soft on the nose at first, it reaveals its punching power in the mouth with aromas of vanilla, coconut, grilled almonds and toasted bread along with very present spices. The finish is long and dominated by wood and spices.
Review by Richard Krupa
the taste of my favourite peach nestea, which is cut with mint
Review by Henry Davies
Interesting solid rum. Great QPR. Meaty on the mouth with dried fruit with menthol and cocoa. Mouth is roasted nut with lemon peel and menthol. Finish is lightly spiced but with menthol and medicine. Peaches and creme. Solid but not remarkable
