T.D.L Plantation Trinidad (Burgundy Wine Cask) 2011
The menthol is the first thing that grabs you — big, cooling, almost medicinal, backed by red fruits, spice and roasted oak. Several tasters catch glue and rubber on the first pour that blows off with air, leaving cherry, pear and coffee. The Burgundy cask adds peppery tannins and a dry, syrupy fruit edge. Divisive but interesting, at a firm 49.5%.
- Cooling menthol
- Red fruit depth
- Well-integrated alcohol

How does T.D.L Plantation Trinidad (Burgundy Wine Cask) 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Minty, dry, wine-cask Trinidad rum Loved by fans of cooling, minty rum, though a few find the menthol overwhelming and the wine-cask tannins too dry and jumpy. Interesting more than balanced.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is very industrial with a rubber, petrol.Some red and dried fruits peek through, the first two notes turn into menthol somewhere down the road.Slowly more and more fruity notes break through like some pear, citrus like mandarine, dried apricot and roasted wood notes with smoke, caramel and dark chocolate with allspice.Peach and passion fruit come quite late to the appointment. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is tasty, round with allspice, dried, tropical and citrus fruits, roasted wood with chocolate. The molasses is mineral, waxy, there is some menthol.Some nuts, coffee crawl out, later toffee, as the rum becomes dry.Dried fruits from red wine finish make it syrupy. At last creamy, juicy peaches with vanilla keep the rum in nice balance. 8,4:The finish is long, dry, woody with roasted notes like nuts, smoke, there is menthol, the molasses is mineral, the fruits are various from red, tropical to dried and in the end some tannins could be notice.
Review by Timo Groeger
Richtig leckerer Plantation. Sehr Minigolf in der Nase, außerdem recht holzig. In der Nase ist er auch sehr, sehr minzig. Außerdem ist Holz, speziell Eiche, wieder erkennbar aber auch Menthol kann man schmecken.
Review by Mirco
Ungewöhnliches Fassprofil mit deutlichen Noten von Menthol, roten Früchten und einer leichten Weinnote. Spannend, aber nicht ganz ausgewogen, etwas sprunghaft im Verlauf. Solide Abfüllung mit Ecken und Kanten, die nicht jeden abholt.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely mentholated, almost too much even if you like the profile. Very dry, astringent and the peppery tannins from the Burgundy red wine finish. Not really to my taste.
Review by Oliver
Extrem süffiger T.D.L. Sehr gefällig.
Review by Morgan Garet
Pas goûté dans de bonnes conditions mais il m'a semblé très prometteur.
Review by bur2000
Nase: direkt nach dem Einschenken knallt einem der Klebstoffgeruch vom Ethylacetat entgegen. Wenn er ein bisschen geatmet hat, verfliegt das und es bleibt ein fruchtiger Geruch wie von Kirschen und ein pflanzlicher Geruch, vielleicht Minze. Außerdem etwas das mich an süßen Teig erinnert. Einige Tropfen Wasser auf den Rest im Glas bringen Gummi hervor. Sehr schön vielfältig. Mund: direkt sehr präsent. Der Geschmack hängt daran, wie der Rum die Zunge trifft. Teeriges Holz oder eher fruchtig. Die Textur ist ölig und weich. Alkohol gut integriert. Abgang: Mittellang, Noten von Vanille, Süße und vielleicht Kokosnuss. Gefällt mir insgesamt gut. Interessant zu trinken.
Review by TheJackDrop
Soirée tasting TDL : 5 pour 1 ! On a ici : un nez sur le menthol et léger médicament, les fruits sont un peu masqués Bouche : plus fruitée et droite, fruits rouges et pêche de vigne. Finale : moyenne+, très fraîche, menthol et fruits un peu mélangés. En bref, la menthe au nez, les fruits en bouche, le mix des 2 en finale. Pas mal du tout pour le prix.
