Nobilis T.D.L #55 Trinidad Distillers 2016
Most tasters land in the "good TDL, well made" camp, with a couple finding it a touch chemical and hard work at full proof. Expect the classic Trinidad markers: red berries and cassis, a thick vein of mint, cedar and more oak than the 10 years suggests. At 68.2% the heat is surprisingly well integrated, leaving room for the fruit. One reviewer preferred it to Nobilis' own 15-year.
The community says- Red berry fruit
- Thick mint note
- Keep in mind: Chemical finish

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, minty cask-strength TDL with real punch Well-liked as a fruity, minty heavy TDL where the big ABV stays in check. A minority find the finish metallic and the whole thing a bit tiring.

German Rum Festival 2026 review, so maybe not the most accurate review from me. On the nose: Fruity, leaning towards berries at first. Once the rum opens up you get more woody, roasted notes, light earthy notes and nice minty notes Taste: Intense. Fruity, dark berries maybe, minty notes. Dried fruits. Light chocolate/mocha notes Finish: Minty notes, woody notes, light roasted notes. Light dried fruit notes. Dry. Good TDL rum, but i need a sample and review this at home for a more accurate review.

This TDL 2016 has intense notes of mint, cassis, dark berries, and surprisingly a lot of wood for a Trinidad rum that's not that old. The alcohol could be better integrated and comes across a bit chemical/metallic in the finish for me. Good TDL nonetheless but it doesn't fully grab me. Overall a bit tiring. By comparison, I can get the 43% CDI Trinidad 2016 for just 50€...
Review by cigares
Rum tasted at the GRF in Berlin in 2026. A very open, fruity nose, almost sweet with all those fruits. Cedar wood supports it. The entry on the palate is ample, carried by the alcohol, then the fruits rise. Lots of freshness too. The finish is long, on fruits with well-integrated cedar wood and a little vegetal side for freshness.
Review by Michael Schou
#1818 02-08-2026 - Rate 8.7 Yet another hit from Nobilis. On any given Sunday I could potentially like this one better then the 15 years they put out earlyer this year. Deep and intense taste. Fantastic nose. I’m a fan
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
This page has been particularly quiet lately… Tastings are rare, but there are still some great discoveries worth checking out. Thanks to Fabian for sharing this sample! 🙏 🥃 Nobilis TDL 2016 (Rums of Anarchy #8) – 68.2% Eighth and final bottling in the Rums of Anarchy series: a Trinidad Distillers Limited distilled in 2016, aged 8 years in the tropics then 2 years in Europe. All bottled cask strength at 68.2%, from a single cask with only 279 bottles. 👃 On the nose, it’s immediately indulgent: caramel, citrus, passion fruit, fruit syrup, burnt sugar… with that hint of hydrocarbons that clearly sets the tone. 🥃 On the palate, it’s even more expressive. The fruits explode, accompanied by a nice menthol freshness and notes of licorice. Despite the 68.2%, the alcohol is remarkably well integrated and leaves plenty of room for the rich aromas. ✨ The finish is long, balanced, elegant, and returns to that indulgent caramel that instantly makes you want to dive back in. 👉 A very nice Heavy TDL that will delight fans of dirty, fruity, and powerful profiles without ever going over the top. 👏 Kudos to ROA for this selection! And now… when’s the next bottling, Salvatore? 😉
Review by ThreeH
Trade fair tasting at the Nobilis booth GRF 2026. Hence a short review. Typical TDL nose. Wood, spiciness and a big portion of mint. On the palate with the same impression. The ABV is well integrated and the menthol aroma carries cleanly into the medium-long finish. No surprise, well done and since I like strong mint profiles, also rated well.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
03/10/2026: tasted @ Salon du Rhum 2026. Keep in mind this is a festival rating. Typical fruity and minty flavour profile, both on the nose and the palate, which I like a lot. Very good price to quality TDL.
Review by mandolin01
Love it! I find the aromas even more pronounced than the 15-year. Fruity and woody just right with some whatts but pretty well integrated for me. A nice freshness and all the classic TDL markers, obviously. Lovely!
Review by Stijn Zino
Salon Du Rhum 2026 Very unique TDL. Very medicinaal. Redbull, coughsirop? Herbal touch.
Review by Newton
Not very intense on the nose, with slightly herbal notes and a hint of alcohol. The taste is better, featuring the classic minty TDL profile. A typical TDL rum, enjoyable enough, but nothing special.
