Fans of TDL land firmly in the plus column, with one honest snag most tasters flag: at 68% the alcohol shows, and a few call it too sharp to fully settle even after time in the glass. What wins them over is a quieter-than-usual mint, with deeper oak, dark berries and licorice root stepping forward. It needs to breathe. Give it that and the 16 years show.
The community says- Deep dark fruit

Powerful 16yr TDL, wood over mint, runs hot Most rate this a strong, characterful TDL that trades the usual menthol blast for wood and dark fruit — the recurring catch is heat, with several wishing it a touch tamer.

Farmer's saying from the "Farmer's palate" (now the amateur even starts to rhyme ...🫣 🤣): If you’re into mint, power, and barrel, then you’ll find this rum seriously awesome! 😎 But now, seriously: Pleasantly subtle, less upfront mint than the average 2001 to 2003 TDL, but more barrel notes and darker fruits (even though the barrel influence is actually unusual given the younger age). Not watery at all, quite the opposite—really powerful and dense! Alcohol on the nose is almost non-existent—how is that possible at 68%?! On the palate, given the power and mouthfeel, I guessed around 60%—but actually a full 68%? Crazy! This Rumclub bottling totally convinced the "Farmer's palate," it stands out from the TDL "same old stuff." But what do I know ... 😎

Unfortunately, I have to say that I didn't really like it. For me, it could have aged a bit longer in the barrel. The notes are really nice, but what ruins a simply very good rating for me is that it is too alcoholic both on the nose and on the palate. Even after a longer time in the glass, it doesn't really get better. Sorry, just too sharp-edged.
Review by F Kraemmer
Tasting date 07.08.2026 with Mr. Daniel Jungberg. RX26423 T.D.L RumClub Nose: Varnish, some light green banana, vanilla and light cask notes, licorice roots. Mouth: well balanced mint and eucalyptus notes. Dark berries like blueberries and black currant. Vegetable notes, fantastic ABV integration. Toffees and licorice notes. Residual taste with complexity and will balanced with fruity freshness from dark berries and minty finish. Earl gray tee, nutty notes. Wonderful T.D.L. The glass: Sweet oak, light minty. Tasting “In the cave”
Review by Master P
A great PVL rum for experienced connoisseurs. Those familiar with TDL rums will be surprised at how elegantly the often dominant mint here holds back in favor of deep wood and dark fruit notes. A rum that needs time to breathe in the glass to reveal its full 16 years of aging. Many thanks to the Depot for the sample.
Review by Michael Schou
#1824 14-08-2026 - Rate 9.0 Once again Rum Depot sends out a bottle of the highest quality and a very fair price. 16 years, 14 aged in tropical climate. ABV of 68%. Just take my money already 😂😉 Have one bottle sampled and one on the shelf 19-09-2026 - Rate 8.8 30-10-2026 - Rate 8.6
Review by Lukas Jäger
Powerful TDL from Berlin. Incredibly delicious nose that tempts with a full dark aroma palette and makes you want more! For me, it has a bit of Guyana vibes, especially since the mint subtly blends into the overall profile. On the palate, it's much more powerful than expected, really making the tongue tingle. Here, it's Trinidad through and through, mint meets dirt & rubber, which any rum nerd will love. The only thing is the alcohol is quite present, but at 68% ABV, that's not really a surprise!
Review by Jens Mulzer
Nose: fresh with mint and menthol, but also spicy and fruity. Taste: intense and full-bodied with mint, spices, and cask flavors. A bit of nuts and chocolate, also a certain fruitiness. The finish is long. You should give this rum 20-30 minutes in the glass. Very nice bottling, I like it.
Review by Skyfly
A somewhat different TDL with subtle mint, burnt sugar, a few darker aromas, and various fruits. Definitely not a bad TDL, but the alcohol is a bit too intense for me, especially for beginners; maybe it could have used a bit more time in the barrel.
Review by Florent Apl
A nice TDL, hot and rather on the fruits and earthy notes than a menthol bomb. It opens quite close, it needs a lot of time resting in the glass in order to breathe. I think it's correct for the price.
Review by FischeJ
My first 2010. Immediately recognizable as TDL. Mint is there, but more subtle. Instead, more wood and nice dark fruits. Bold without the alcohol burning too much. Quite surprising at that ABV. Despite obvious similarities to 2001-2003 and 2008/2009, it's somewhat different. Nice to see that younger TDL vintages can also impress.
Review by Timo Groeger
Sitting with my brother in our hotel room in Hanover, enjoying a few rums before heading to Oktagon 97 and Max Holzer. Great T.D.L, lots of mint again and very bold. Definitely a strong one.
Review by Daniel Jungberg.
Tasting together with F. Kraemmer. On 07.08.2026 Nose on an adventure👃: I sense lacquer and medicinal notes, a bit of acidity and sweetness in the form of green bananas, caramel, light mint, light oak influence, and licorice root. Tongue on an adventure 🥃: I taste lots of mint leaves, light toffee, earl grey tea, and licorice root! The finish of the story💫: The high ABV is not noticeable at all! It is rich and oily in the glass with a medium-long finish that includes lots of black tea and licorice!
Review by The Specialist
A real beast with plenty of alcohol. Definitely needs some time in the glass for me. But then really great. A nice TDL, hot and more fruity and earthy than a menthol bomb. Strong TDL. Incredibly delicious nose, tempting with the full dark aroma palette and making you want more.
Review by Boletus
After this bottling, I'm really looking forward to more upcoming 2010 vintage bottlings from T.D.L. Although the mint note isn't quite as dominant as I'm used to from the 2009 vintage, the fruitiness is also fully turned up here and even expanded by a few dried fruit nuances of raisins and dates. At the same time, I find slightly dirty workshop notes in the aftertaste, which give the rum another exciting facet. The 68% alcohol is never overwhelming for me and, after a short punch on the taste buds, quickly activates the salivary glands, creating a creamy and full mouthfeel. Great stuff!
Review by DER Prinzessin
Here I have the eucalyptus, the medicinal notes, the cask — the longer it sits, the smoother the alcohol, very well integrated. After 2 hours, it's very astringent and reminds me of an old cough syrup, and the eucalyptus comes out more.
Review by Schnubbii
Classic TDL profile, very concentrated, the alcohol is comparatively well integrated considering the ABV. Tastes good on the palate at first, but unfortunately turns quite flat rather quickly in the finish.
Review by David Brandes
Wow, what a beast. I was lucky enough to taste it at the German Rum Festival and immediately had to secure a bottle for myself. Nice to have had this experience. So far, I've been more active in a different flavor direction.
Review by David Riek
Top Trinidad with an absolutely brilliant price-performance ratio. Dirk Becker really nailed it. Not for beginners or novices, it needs a lot of time in the glass to unfold. On the nose, the alcohol comes through very strongly at first, then the typical Trinidad notes come into play. On the palate, very intense and you are rewarded with a long and intense finish.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Very delicious rum from Trinidad. The cask combined with fruit compote and an elegant hint of mint. I'm generally also a fan of a decent alcohol content. However, this one had a bit too much punch for me. So, a few points deducted.
Review by Martin Mihaly
Very surprisingly delicious rum to my taste. On the nose very intense, very funky high-ester, fruity and lots of fresh wood. On the nose it is so fresh like mint or eucalyptus. On the palate follows nose, very intense, strong, sharp, peppery, marked ABV but still deliciously fresh fruity and woody. Clear ester notes that linger long in the finish. Anyway, this rum surprised me.
Review by Vinsdorf
Maybe I don't have the right day to degustate TDL today. Anyway this is the proof for me that higher abv doesn't mean better taste. This is unjustifiably strong for me, and I honestly don't know who actually prefers rum at this kind of strength. Sure, it looks impressive on paper, but that's about it. The rum itself is interesting. The mint is definitely there, but there's also a slightly unusual sweet, herbal note. Still, there's nothing particularly special about it for me, and yes, reducing it with water didn't really add anything extra either.
Review by Carlitooo
An absolute beast from Trinidad. For me, the best 2010 TDL so far, but also clearly more demanding than its older brothers from vintages like 2002 or 2003. Still, the same DNA is clearly recognizable.
Review by Vladimír Rejholec (AlkoTip)
Full, sweet, complex, lots of caramel and a lovely minty, fruity finish. 68% ABV is nothing to be afraid of here. Yes, yes, yes!
Review by Mirco
Solid bottling. Right after opening, it's predominantly too alcoholic... Hope oxidation will fix that a bit. Ignoring that, you find the expected TDL notes. However, slightly less mint and a bit more spice than usual.
