T.D.L Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 65 2010
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
- Elegant mint
- But: Hot at 68%

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 ... 😎

Solide Abfüllung. Direkt nach dem Öffnen vordergründig zu alkoholisch… Hoffe die Oxidation richtet das noch etwas. Blendet man dies aus, findet man die erwarteten TDL Noten. Jedoch minimal weniger Minze und etwas mehr Gewürz als gewohnt.
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 Skyfly
Ein etwas anderer TDL mit dezenter Minze, gebranntem Zucker, ein paar dunkleren Aromen und diversen Früchten. Sicher kein schlechter TDL, aber der Alkohol ist mir etwas zu intensiv, Anfängern dann sicherlich erst recht; hätte vielleicht noch ein wenig im Fass gebraucht.
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 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 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 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
Review by Daniel Jungberg.
Smagning sammen med F. Kraemmer. D 07.08.2026 Næsen på eventyr👃: Fornemmer jeg Lak og medicinske noter,, lidt syrlighed og sødme i form af grønne bananer, karamel, let mint, let fadpræg og lakridsrod. Tungen på eventyr 🥃 : smager jeg masser mynteblade, let toffee, earl grey te og lakridsrod! Halen på historien💫 : Den høje apv fornemmes overhovedet ikke! Den er fed og olieret i glasset med en mellem lang eftersmag, som indebærer masser af sort te og lakrids!
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 Master P
Ein toller PVL Rum für erfahrene Genießer. Wer TDL-Rums kennt, wird überrascht sein, wie elegant sich die oft dominante Minze hier zugunsten von tiefen Holz- und dunklen Fruchtnoten zurückhält. Ein Rum, der Zeit zum Atmen im Glas benötigt, um seine vollen 16 Jahre Reifung zu offenbaren.
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 Martin Mihaly
Sehr überraschende leckere rum nach meinem Geschmack. In nasse intensiv sehr funky high-ester, fruchtig und viele frische Holz. In nasse ist so frisch nach Minze oder eukalyptus. Am Gaumen folgt nasse, sehr intensiv, stark, scharf, Pfefferig, markante ABV aber trotzdem lecker frisch fruchtig und Holzig. Deutliche ester Noten sich ziehen lang in Abgang. Jedenfalls mich diese rum überraschte.
Review by zabo
Leider muss ich sagen, dass er mir jetzt nicht so ganz geschmeckt hat. Für mich hätte er noch ein bißchen im Fass liegen können. Die Noten sind echt schön, aber was ihm eine einfach sehr gute Bewertung kaputt macht, ist das er mir zu alkoholisch sowohl an der Nase und auch am Gaumen ist. Auch nach längerer Zeit im Glas, wird es nicht wirklich besser. Sorry einfach zu scharfkantig.
