Sip this one neat, but keep water nearby — at 66.8% it needs a few drops to open up. Expect mint, grass and a medicinal, polish-like edge over caramel and a touch of oak. The odd twist: several tasters swear it drinks nothing like Trinidad TDL and "seems more like young Guyana," pegging it as a Port Mourant. That mint-forward profile is the throughline people either enjoy or find sharp.

How does Rum Shark T.D.L Angostura Single Cask Selection 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Hot, minty cask-strength puzzle rum Divides the room: some love the unmistakable minty TDL character, others say it tastes like young Guyana and find it harsh, sour and oddly sweet. Water helps a lot.

Again very high proof. I'm pretty sure that a cask was swapped again. Taste-wise this is clearly a rum from Guyana, most likely a Port Mourant. This rum has nothing to do with TDL. Funny, reading the other reviews afterwards confirms my suspicion absolutely...

It's probably Port Mourant
Review by Timo Groeger
Schön dass das Foto auch mal geladen wird ;) Oh man, aber bei diesem eher miesen T.D.L , naja, nicht verwunderlich. Klar haben wir wieder viel Minze, aber auch recht viel Alkohol, ansonsten noch leicht floral und grasig.
Review by Matej
Last from the Triplet. Aroma, well it is sweet and very medicinal/polish-y at the same time, which makes me sick to be honest. There is a lot of spice, some wood/oak scent and I noticed some fruit there. What is interesting the whole aroma is gentle and I expected it would be much more stronger and sharper. Taste is pretty sharp at the beginning, there is a lot of floral, grassy flavor with almost winey flavor (it makes the whole rum sour and dry at the same time not bad at all). What I do not like is that sweet flavor of chocolate or maybe caramel. Finish is not long enoug, little bit sweety(caramel/honey) and spicy. Definetly the “worst” from the Triplet. I really do not like the aroma of this rum (it is not for me at all), it should be much more stronger and less sweet than it is. I recomended to try the whole triplet if you have chance and try to see/feel/smell the differences.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Beautiful matte for a bottle under 100e. Although alcohol can be felt, but very drinkable. I recommend it even to beginners for discovering new flavours. Mata from TDL is an unmistakable taste that you will never get tired of.

I love high abv rums, but this one needs few drops of water to calm it down. Still a bit harsh in terms of quality... Didn't finish my sample.
Review by Rado Vito
Definitely that is not Trinidad. Seems more like young Guyana.
Review by Martin Ekrt
As with 2013 I don't recognize TDL, but does it fit DDL ?! Aside from the ambivalence about the destination, it's fine Guyana:-)
