Review by TheJackDrop
Nose: caramel, popcorn, red fruits, well rounded. Palate: full TDL as I like it, lots of red and yellow fruit, well-integrated oak, some tannins, well-integrated spices. Finish: long, fruity, smoky with a menthol veil that gradually thickens. I was skeptical when I first tasted it, but in the end I fell in love with it! TDL as I like it.
Review by Matthieu L
Menthol, blackcurrant and smoky triptych. Very well-balanced. Excellent
Review by Thomas Renoud
This one blows your socks off. What a impressive flavour concentration. The finish is really really long too. I had to proof it down a bit by adding water to enjoy it even more.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un TDL de plaisir qui a plus d’un arôme dans sa robe. Le nez est assez doux sur les épices (poivre, piment doux, vanille, réglisse), le cuir, le boisé et les notes sucrées (caramel, sucre brun, popcorn) mais dévoile peu à peu les arômes typiques de la distillerie : le menthol, l’eucalyptus, le thé noir, les fleurs, les fruits (pêche, cassis) parfument les narines. Un profil aguicheur et agréable. L’attaque en bouche passe un nouveau cap d’intensité avec des notes chargées de menthol, d’essence et de goudron. Les épices et les notes salées viennent avec le boisé rôti et le caramel brun dans un deuxième temps. On retrouve également les fruits secs, les pêches, les fruits rouges et le thé noir. Le profil est frais mais sec, avec une texture huileuse. L’alcool est bien intégré à l’ensemble. La finale est longue, mélangeant le registre de la rondeur des épices et du sucre brun aux notes plus intenses sur le menthol, les notes minérales et limite terpéniques. Les fruits secs, la pêche et les fruits rouges donnent un peu de gourmandise à cette finale sèche et tannique. Un joli TDL qui se boit très bien pour son Millésime et son âge.
Review by DomM
Nice and rich TDL profile. Pronounced fruitiness and some mint. Very good.
Review by Basti
An der Nase sehr viel Frucht, etwas Menthol (Minze), aber auch würzige und röstige Aromen sind vorhanden. Insgesamt sehr ansprechend. Am Gaumen ziemlich süß und rund. Etwas Karamell, Vanille und Tee. Nicht sonderlich komplex, dennoch lecker!
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Nice expression from the T.D.L. 2009 vintage. It's quite flowery on the nose, but there's also some sweet caramel, dried fruits and, off course, mint (for me rather dried one). On the palate I get dominant salty caramel notes with some woody tannins and peaches with nectarines showing also in the finish. At the end they are accompanied by a bit of the mintiness.
Review by RumTaTa
Beautiful intense and versatile T.D.L nose. I mainly find eucalyptus, red fruits, mint and spice. The initially pungent alcohol disappears quickly. The palate is also beautifully intense with the floral notes in the foreground. The aromas all continue in the finish. Dryness and slight bitterness are added here. A very typical 2009 T.D.L, with passably integrated alcohol.
Review by Christian Rudt
Colours of Rum Tasting beim German Rumfestival 2024 Schöner runder TDL sehr gefällig zu trinken mit Recht typischem Profil. Viel Minze und einiges an Pfirsich, im Gesamteindruck schön rund ohne den gewissen Punch am Ende
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘23, so my review remains rather concise. Exceedingly cool (as in: cold) aroma of eucalyptus and spearmint. Then darker sugars and herbal black tea, supported by dried fruits and pinetree resin. Quite linear. In the mouth more of the same, but sent in overdrive. Extremely fresh with eucalyptus and After Eights. Subsequently herbal and spicy with notes of oregano, black tea, licorice and black pepper. Backbone of forest fruits. Eventually lightly dirty, oily, and petrolated. The finish is quite short, yet cool and sweet with menthol and heaps of brown sugar.
Review by Shinji Mievis
A very fine rum from Trinidad Distillers Limited. A very rich and floral bouquet of flowers and menthol on the nose. With plenty of fruit and Spice on the palate.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, CoR masterclass and with friends. A nose of wood, caramel, tropical fruit, honey and light oak. The attack is lively, with aromas dominating a well-integrated alcohol. Spices, much more than on the nose, and a slight tar. The finish is moderately long, but too dominated by honey and wood. An atypical TDL, sweeter and above all darker and less fruity than usual.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolut stabiler 2009er TDL. Erinnert stark an Pfirsich Eistee an Nase und Gaumen, dazu salted caramel, 70% Kakao Schokolade und creme brulee mit Minze, Puderzucker, Himbeeren und Pfirsichen als Garnish. Lecker. Ungewöhnlich mineralisch im Abgang.
Review by Jakob
Sweet, subtle menthol note, nice TDL profile.
Review by Johannes
Menthol, borderline bitter, some smoke in the finish.
