T.D.L Plantation Trinidad Armorik Whisky Cask 2016
"Whisky finish is not my thing but this works really well," is how one member sums it up — and that's the story here. It's a light Trinidad column-still rum with mint, peach and dried apricot, a touch of dark chocolate, and an obvious French whisky-cask imprint. The classic T.D.L menthol note peeks through but stays gentle. Easy-drinking, though several tasters find it young and a bit unresolved.

Light, minty Trinidad with a whisky-cask finish A pleasant, light Trinidad sipper — mint, peach and a clear whisky-cask stamp. Fans call it accessible and well-made; skeptics find it young, thin and not fully pulled together.

Eines vorweg, ich stehe einfach nicht auf diese Whisky finishes. Das mag zwar hier nicht ganz so dominant und überlagernd sein wie bei anderen Abfüllungen, aber ich habe es trotzdem geschmeckt und es gefällt mir einfach nicht.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, minty, flowery, fresh with tea, eucalyptus, sweet with honey molasses, roasted wood with nuts, caramel, spicy with allspice, tropical fruits, peaches, dried apricots, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the whisky barrel impact is stronger, citrus fruits arise, chemical hints, chocolate and pastry. 7,4:On the palate, the attack is rather thin, a bit alcoholic with minty molasses, flowery, roasted wood notes like dark chocolate, caramel, spicy with allspice, various fruits, among them some candied, tropical, green and citrus fruits, some peaches, dried apricots, cognac and whisky barrel finish is obvious.When the rum is well rested, hints of menthol arise. 7,1:The finish is medium long, with similar notes as on the palate, dry. Edit:15.5.26

#7161 14.08.2026 Relaxing with a few rums after a slow week at work and a lot of walking. Listening to some nice trance by Avalon, GMS, Funk Tribu and Vini Vici. Not all experiments work and this is one in my mind. Luckily the price tag is low. Light rum with wood, fruits, mint, floral, spice and whisky.
Review by Timo Groeger
Trifft auch gerade nicht si wirklich meinen Geschmack. Die T.D.L DNA kommt hier nur leicht durch. Minze ist zwar erkennbar, aber nicht so dominant wie sonst. Ist für mich eher holzig und röstig, sowie leicht fruchtig.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 pêche en bocal, abricot sec, fruits secs, menthe légère, puis menthol, fine épices, boisé très léger, vanille, colle légère, foin humide léger, miel d'un whisky jeune et réduit. Un nez assez vif par rapport au degré alcoolique et pourtant paradoxalement assez aqueux. 😋 Pas grand chose à dire, on retrouve trait pour trait les mêmes marqueurs qu'au nez, avec un niveau d'intensité assez mince, léger. Il y a cette empreinte whisky qui semble faire contradiction avec les autres saveurs. ⛳ Étonnement chaude, vive, épicée, alcooleuse, aspect whisky NAS, sèche, chocolatée, boisé Cognac vsop. 💡 Comme beaucoup de single cask planteray(ation), c'est rond, accessible, bien fait, mais ça ne va pas plus loin. ⚠️ Il faut aimer le whisky, ce rhum en a beaucoup de caractéristiques via le finish en fût de whisky français Armorik (certainement un fût de jeune whisky pour du blend).

Finde ich gut! Zum Glück überdeckt das Whisky Finish nicht alles. Eher dezent vorhanden

Whisky finish is not my thing but this works really well.
Review by Jakob
Süsse von Karamell und gelben Früchten (Aprikose und Pfirsich), kräftige Gewürznoten und dezente Frische von Minze im Abgang. Das Holz ist - angesichts des Alters - erwartungsgemäss zurückhaltend. Die Mischung aus Früchten und Würznoten verleiht dem Gesamtprofil ein nicht uninteressantes jugendliches Ungestüm; summa summarum für das Alter direkt sehr zugänglich, aber für ein höhere Bewertung zu wenig komplex.
Review by Jacques etdom
L adn tdl est bien present, mais c est jeune et non abouti. Le fut d armorik lui apporte un peu d interet et de profondeur.

Review by Filip Heimerle
Příjemná vůně trinidadu. Lehce máta. Pocit neucelenosti. Je to moc prekombinovane.
Review by Vinsdorf
Decent sipper
Review by Martin Ekrt
Velmi povedená vůně i přes nízké abv. Klasická jako mentolovo mátová vůně zlehka řízlá whisky. Chuťově už to tak povedené není. Vadí mi tam hořká pachuť. Neprve mátové, ale pak něco jako hořká čokoláda až nezralý grapefruit. Fakt divné.
