Blackadder T.D.L Findest Trinidad Rum (Celebrating 30 Years Of Blackadder) 2009
Give it time in the glass — nearly every taster says the same, and it's the whole trick with this one. Out of a fresh pour it's closed and hot at 64.2%; rest it and the classic TDL menthol, thyme and peach come through, with cask oak, toffee and orange peel behind. One taster caught a metallic, clingwrap edge too. Rewards patience and a drop of water.

The look inside the bottle
How does Blackadder T.D.L Findest Trinidad Rum (Celebrating 30 Years Of Blackadder) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Minty TDL cask-strength that needs air and water Well-liked but not loved — several find it flat and a touch out of balance despite the strength. Give it air and water and it turns fruity and cooling.

Tour de France schauen und dabei ein paar Samples verkosten. Das wird ein wunderbarer Nachmittag. Und dann einen recht netten T.D.L, endlich mal etwas Wumms. Minze natürlich das Hauptaroma, ansonsten noch Karamell und Kräuter.

Kräutrig, Würzig und vor allen Dingen sehr flach trotz der 64% Alkohol. Es sind wenige Aromen eingebunden, was die Abfüllung leider sehr flach erscheinen lässt. Schade.

#6764 08.05.2026 Relaxing with some evening samples while listening to som enice Psy Trance tracks on Spotify. This is a pretty good bottle and the price tag at release was also pretty OK in my mind. Medium intense profile with nice spices, fruits, mint and some caramel.
Review by Dr.Django
A typical T.D.L 2009 vintage that, despite good quality, can’t hold a candle to its brothers by a long shot (like Roots, TWJ, or CoR). Caramelized yellow fruits, Christmas market apples in sugar glaze, and of course the classic T.D.L mint. The alcohol is moderately integrated. Somehow the flavors on the palate are very subtle, like they’re waiting for the right moment that never really comes. Thanks for the sample @Saibot
Review by Chrischi78
This rum needs a bit of time in the glass. On the palate, you get the typical TDL notes of wood and mint but also a solid toffee note. The alcohol is well integrated, with the expected sharpness. Definitely give this young one some time in the glass and it will keep getting better!
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at SITS ‘25. The aroma is a straight ambush of menthol, thyme and everything fresh and cool in existence, chased by heavy cask notes, bresilliene nuts and orange skin gratings. There’s an interesting cameo of a clingwrap note as well as an ever so slight metallic taste, hate it or love it. In the mouth: peaches. Then spearmint and a hint of apple slices. Then barrel. Lots of barrel, with oak, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger tea. The experience is quite peppery and it stings the tongue quite a bit to the point of becoming spicy. The latter is not my favourite note, but playful and exciting here. The finish is long and cooling, with more spearmint, menthol, ginger tea and canned peach juice sweetness. A great bottling with certain (im)perfections and a not so great UVP.
Review by Schnubbii
Nase eher dezent, am Gaumen durchaus harmonisch mit Süße, Fruchtigkeit und dezenter Minze. Der Alkohol beißt leicht, etwas Wasser tut ihm gut. Gefällt mir dann aber gut.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Blackadder TDL 2009 – 64,2 % Un embouteillage célébrant les 30 ans de la maison. Arômes typiques de TDL, avec une attaque en bouche assez agressive. Une fois apprivoisé, il dévoile un joli profil fruité, notamment la pêche, et une finale longue sur le menthol. Quelques imperfections sont présentes, mais dans l’ensemble, c’est très réussi.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/11/2025: tasted @ Spirits In The Sky 2025. Freshly opened bottle and the first dram of the day. In the beginning it was rather alcoholic and closed. It needs time in the glass to open up. After some time some classic TDL notes start apppearing but I'm not really convinced. Glad I didn't buy a full bottle blindly.
Review by Stijn Zino
SITS 2025 Very closed and out of balance, very alcoholic. Needs to rest to open, but still not alot of flavours. Didn't try it with water though.
