Blind, most tasters wouldn't guess this is a TDL — that's the running theme. The nose is quiet: young wood, burnt sugar, caramel, a metallic edge. The palate does more, with chocolate, dried grape and honey, but nothing really jumps out. Opinion splits on the 63% — some call the alcohol well integrated, others say it stings. A "spanish"-leaning column rum that stays a bit flat.

How does CDI T.D.L Trinidad 2012 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Solid Trinidad column rum that plays it flat Verdict lands at "solid but nothing special" for most — tasty enough, yet flat and hard to place. A few think TDL has far more interesting bottlings.

7,8:On the nose, the first impression we get are roasted wood notes with burnt sugar, caramel, roasted nuts, a bit spicy, there is some vegetal molasses.At first there is almost no fruit, except citrus. We could also notice some metallic note. On aeration, dried and tropical fruits come out, toasted coconut, chocolate and menthol. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity and woody with red, yellow fruits, roasted and spicy wood with sweet honey, candied caramel, then dried fruits and more medicinal notes like rubber and menthol, bitter with molasses.After resting the rum, fruits are tropical with kiwi, banana.There are also nuts, vanilla and burnt sugar, it becomes tasty and it is more round now. 8,1:The finish is long, more industrial like with bitter, dirty notes of rubber, waxes, plastic and tar, a bit mineral, woody with spice, vegetal molasses and tropical and dried fruits..

Farbe: Goldenes Bernstein Nase: Karamell, Verbrannten Zucker, leicht alkoholisch stechenden in der Nase Gaumen: Zuerst recht stark, intensiv, etwas strittig. Dann Schokolade, Leder und dunkle Traubennoten. Fazit: Er erinnert mich sehr an einen Rum aus Belize. TDL hätte ich blind nicht getippt. Der Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Grdsl ein solider Rum, aber auch nichts besonderes.
Review by Timo Groeger
Very tasty rum. On the nose you have young wood and burnt sugar. On the palate, burnt sugar dominates for me. But you can also taste the wood and the barrel. Alcohol well integrated. Thumbs up.
Review by Mentalo
Alcohol is not well integrated. Goes towards Spanish style with chocolate and caramel notes. But remains very flat and I wouldn't have known T.D.L blind. In my opinion, there are much more exciting bottlings from T.D.L.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Not much to note on the nose. Primarily young wood, which reminds me more of a 'Spanish' rum. On the palate, much more comes through. But again, nothing really stands out or hints at TDL. Still tasty.
Review by Johannes
Very alcoholic, lots of column, a bit little flavor.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2012. I rate it 7.6 out of 10, a solid rum that doesn't disappoint.
