TCRL T.D.L Trinidad #27 2006
Chocolate-and-coffee fans who like a Trinidad on the drier side will click with this one. Expect cocoa, hazelnut and creamy cappuccino up front, then it turns woody and spicy with pepper and a bitter-tea edge on the finish. Several tasters call it an "untypical TDL" with unusual chocolate depth. At 56.5% it bites a little, and a few wish it were less sweet.
The community says- Cocoa and hazelnut
- Creamy cappuccino
- But: Sharp for the ABV

How does TCRL T.D.L Trinidad #27 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 59 community reviews.
Chocolatey Trinidad, sweet then dry and woody Well-liked as a relaxed chocolate-forward Trinidad sipper. Most find it starts sweet then dries out; a few say it's straightforward and lacks depth, and the alcohol reads sharp for the strength.

Review by Joël
Alcohol not as well integrated as I think, comes across relatively sharp for the relatively low %. Somehow too sweet for me. Still available 6 years after release at the price of the time with a relatively small production run 🙄.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
delicious, relaxed Sipping TDL, light mint freshness in the background and in addition creamy cappuccino, milk chocolate, brownies with blackberries and black pepper and some orange peel and neat barrel. First sweet then dry and very creamy.
Review by MarcT
OK, no flaws but not really inspiring as well, would not have been able to attribute this to Trinidad, which can be considered a good thing: I do not like the products of Trinidad Distillers that much. A bit shy on the nose.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oha, da Hab ich nicht mit gerechnet. Sehr leckerer Transcontinental Line hier auf jeden Fall. Wir haben etwas Karamell und Kakao in de Nase. Am Gaumen gibt es dann Vanille und Haselnuss, sowie Holz und Cappucino.
Review by Christoph
On the nose, I definitely have to think of mild Cointreau. In the taste then rather coffee and Christmas cookies from the Caribbean (coconut). Rather atypical TDL with neat chocolate.
Review by zabo
Compared to the Rum Runner Trinidad, which I had in my glass at the same time, it is much more pleasant and more clearly Trinidad. But also not a real winner, there are better bottlings from 2006.
Review by Christian Rudt
Beautiful 🍫 charged rum.
Review by primus
Very tasty, strong chocolate and hazelnut notes in the nose and taste. Drier than this description suggests. A good addition to any rum shelf
