TBRC T.D.L TDL Fernandes FPH 2006
Menthol, eucalyptus and herbs lead, then the palate opens wide into ripe tropical fruit — mango, passion fruit, citrus — laced with a dirty streak of rubber and petrol. Charred wood, caramel and pepper fill in behind. It needs air; give it time in the glass and it rewards you. At 66% the heat shows, but most tasters find the alcohol well integrated.
The community says- Ripe tropical fruit

How does TBRC T.D.L TDL Fernandes FPH 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Minty, fruity Trinidad with a dirty edge Most owners rate it high — a fruity, spicy, minty Trinidad with a long finish. A few call it a touch too menthol-forward, but the alcohol integration wins praise.

8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity and woody, as with dried(prunes) and overripe tropical fruits, citrus, roasted and spicy wood. On aeration, the molasses is vegetal with flowery, herbal notes. There are some medicinal notes with rubber, the fruits are candied. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity and spicy with a pinch of salt, with overripe tropical fruits as passion fruit, mango, citrus with mandarine, the wood is charred with caramel, nuts, some smokiness and spicy. It is fresh and delicious.The molasses a bit bitter with vegetal notes like eucalyptus, as there are industrial notes with rubber, petrol. After resting the rum, it becomes dirtier, mustier, but covered with honey, so still very tasty.Yellow fruits stand out, pineapple is very ripe and some pear could be tasted. 8,5:The finish is long, round and tasty with tropical fruits, citrus , notes of roasted wood, spicy and musty, a bit vegetal, glazed with maple and caramelized... Edit:5.9.25, great for Manhattan, 19.8.26

Difficult. On the nose (at least on mine) it smells artificial, on the palate it could also be a whisky (and I'm really not a fan of those). TDL DNA is barely noticeable. I just can't warm up to this rum. Update 30 minutes later, because I still had some in the glass: Wow, it improves significantly towards TDL! I didn't expect that anymore. 3 points more.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
On the nose: dried apricot, herbs and caramel. Full-bodied taste: peach, passion fruit, strong black tea, subtle menthol and petrol and overall quite dirty and intense. Alcohol is quite noticeable and could be better integrated. Aromatic but highly exciting interplay of sweetness, spice, freshness and fruit. Acts like a lovechild of Isautier Reunion and Trinidad TDL.

Review by Banana Joe
Today a small comparative tasting with the Fernandes from Fadandel. On the nose, the TBYR comes across much more restrained, needing a lot more time to open up. But on the palate, it is more dominant, more intense than the Fadandel. Especially the alcohol is much better integrated. It leans towards the fruity-spicy side, you can only guess the mint. For the price, a nice rum, but nothing special.
Review by Jan Lu
A rum that needs time. Quite fruity and sweet on the nose. On the palate, it gets even fruitier, and the finish is very spicy. Actually a nice progression. You just have to bring enough time.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A remarkable TDL, very well selected by That Boutique-Y. The nose sails between the freshness of menthol, floral and herbaceous notes, the liveliness of spices, the precision of wood and the roundness of fruit. It's not the most unusual rum ever, but it's still well made in its register. On the palate, however, it's a veritable aromatic explosion. Yellow and tropical fruits by the bucketload (mango, passion fruit, papaya) grace the palate, accompanied by a dirty touch of petrol and rubber, a hint of salt and spice and a breath of minty freshness and eucalyptus. A striking profile, creamy, complete, complex and delicious. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish leaves the same breathtaking impression on a generously fruity, spicy, spicy, floral and fresh profile. The finish is surprisingly long. A full-bodied, rich and flavorful rum as we love them, at an unbelievable value for money.
Review by FischeJ
Nose: quite a lot of caramel, slight mint note, herbs, subtle fruit note, grain Mouth: quite sparkling, herbs, mint stalk (slight bitterness), caramel, a bit woody Finish quite short
Review by kondgab
Tropical fruits and rubber in the palate. Tropical fruits and menthol/herbs in the nose too
Review by Sebastian.W
Lots of menthol and mint, with quite some smoke. I get a nice tobacco note on the taste which I like. An intense rum with a noticeable alcohol burn.
Review by zabo
Since I've had batch 1 in my glass before, I was expecting something different from this one, which is what I got. Somehow this one has more menthol, herbs and mint. A little over the top in my opinion. I didn't like it that much now
Review by w00tAN
Berlin, smell fresh, slight sweetness, tobacco On the palate, first relatively dominant sharp notes then chocolatey, spicy. The finish is rather short with chocolate and some tobacco. Overall a bit wild, there is a lot of competition in this price category.
