T.D.L Planteray One Time Limited Edition Trinidad TDL 2003

Convinces with a sensational price-performance ratio. Despite being noticeably diluted, the rum is comparatively complex. Despite the expected mint/menthol and euchalyptus notes, it offers beautiful aromas of citrus fruits, light spice and subtle oak, which unfold unexpectedly harmoniously. I like it very much, as it shows more depth than the moderate alcohol content initially suggests.

A quick taste of the whisky house lounge. I really wasn't expecting this from a rhum rhum, a fait de la colle, which comes out at €85. It's got all the makings of a good Trinidad, fruit, menthol, a little wood. Not super complex but super pleasant. I'll raise the price a bit for the effort.

I am very impressed. The reviews so far have been rather positive, but I still wouldn't have expected that at this price. The nose has everything I expect from a 2003 TDL. Mint, menthol, berries, ripe fruit, a nice sweetness. In my opinion, it doesn't have to hide from its cask-strength brothers as far as the nose is concerned. The palate has everything the nose promises. Of course, due to the dilution, this is not as intense and long-lasting as one is used to from the single casks, but larger sips are possible here and the Planteray is in a different league in terms of price. For me, it's the PLV hit of the year so far!

What a beautiful bottle! In every sense of the word, a feast for the eyes with its attractive packaging, and a fresh minty, fruity fragrance that heralds a tasting of a TDL we love for its characteristics. Given its price, it's a real bargain.

It has everything you would expect from a good 2003 TDL. For ~60€ you really get a lot for your money here! To get such an old single cask for under 100€ these days is really exceptional! Aromatically, as expected, there is a lot of mint, some eucalyptus and Virginia tobacco, as well as citrus fruits (lemon, mandarin and yuzu) and yellow stone fruit such as pears and mirabelle plums, accompanied by a lot of wood and intense tannins, as well as slightly medicinal (salty bitter iodine) overtones. The reduced alcohol content significantly increases the drinking flow. It definitely doesn't have to hide behind its sister casks, some of which are 3-4 times more expensive! It's just a little too woody and dry on the finish for me...

So, if we take a look at the big picture, which is the principle of a conclusion, we have: A fine concentration of aromas typical of TDL 2003. A reduction that keeps the fatness and pleasure of tasting at its best. Classy packaging. An insane price, less expensive than a bad white rum from I don't know where. But.... go for it, people! Go for it, because there won't be many of these priced like this.... We're talking about a 22-year-old rum, aren't we!

A very expressive nose, fruity (tutti frutti), minty (but not too minty), dirty and greedy. What more could you ask for in a rum priced at around €85? The wood is noticeable afterwards, supporting the other aromas. The first palate is soft and expressive, fruity, mentholated and woody. A complex, drinkable rum. The finish is the weak point of this otherwise exceptional rum. Menthol and marzipan aromas linger for a long time. A discovery, a delicious, very drinkable rum at an incredible price.

A real find - it's hard to believe what you get for your money here. This Trinidad rum surprises with a wonderfully clear, minty-medicinal impact that runs through the nose and palate without ever being overpowering. Behind this, a complex mixture of strong spice, dark wood and ripe tropical fruit builds up - all neatly integrated and very balanced. Over time, fine tobacco notes and a hint of pleasant mustiness also emerge, giving the rum additional depth. A big thank you to the community for all the tips - without you, I would probably have slipped through the cracks with this one.

First impression: fruity-sweet nose with (tropical) fruit basket, papaya, mango, mirabelle plum, pleasant freshness. Lots of fruit on the palate too, nice minty undertones, tannins/barrel in the finish...dangerously drinkable 😄 the P/L ratio is even better than the 2009 TDL one-time limited

What a price-performance ratio! For 60 euros you get the typical complex TDL 2003 club! Mint, fruit, wood, light caroni notes, great complexity, alcohol super integrated. A complex easy sipper! Hammer! I have to give an extra point for the price...

8,5:On the nose, menthol and yellow, citrus fruits, slightly smoky roasted wood notes like caramel, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spicy with allspice, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is musty, at first dark with black tea, later fresh, flowery and minty, pairing mango, mandarine, pineapple and currants one one side, rubber, metallic patina and tannins on the other. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is fruity with mango, mandarine, medicinal with menthol and rubber, as the wood is roasted with nuts and caramel, vanilla adds to creaminess, rounds the first impact with tasting buds.When well oxidized, the molasses brings eucalyptus, tobacco and black tea, is flowery and minty, as there are yellow fruits, passion fruit and bergamot, intermingled with confectionery and slightly tannic wood. 8,4:The finish is rather long, dry and tannic, as slightly smoky, spicy roasted wood notes pair mineral, earthy and musty molasses, grassy with lemon grass, some eucalyptus, tropical, citrus fruits and some currants, pear and a pinch of medicinal notes..

Holy... What is this? The frame data is already impressive, but the complexity of the nose and palate are on a high level. And then the whole thing for 60-70€. Wow! Very fruity and floral with an underlying honey/caramel note and vanilla. Also pretty intense through and through for just under 48%. You can't really criticize anything.

#5495 19.07.2025 Tasting at the Nordlichter Treffen. Nose Fresh, wood, light mint, light floral, spice, light earthy, dried fruit, Palate Warm, spicy, wood, mint, raisin, faint floral, Finish Long and warm, spicy, faint mint, light wood,citrus.

Freshness and sweetness without breaking the bank. Ripe yellow fruit on the nose, with a hint of wood and menthol. On the palate, juicy mango, exotic fruit and a mint leaf finish. A sensation of freshness, an oily texture, a gentle alcohol content... It drinks itself! Perfect for lounging in the sun ☀️🍃

Can only agree with the other reviews. A really great TDL with strong mint, eucalyptus, tropical fruits, wood and light notes of caramel, spices, eucalyptus and tobacco. Alcohol perfectly integrated. PLV cracker!
