Anyone who likes the wilder, mentholated side of Trinidad will feel at home here. Cool menthol and eucalyptus lead, with light rubber, cocoa, wood and overripe tropical fruit behind them. It's not one of the sweet, caramel TDLs — drier, herbal, a touch smoky and earthy. At 57.4% the alcohol mostly sits well, though a few tasters find it perches on top and pricks the nose.

Found one last sample remainder. In conclusion, a really good bargain for the price at the time with high quality, which was not to be expected. Edit: I still like it and it has a very good PLV. Very pleasing rum at a real bargain.

Soft with dried fruit, wood and leather. Also some ethanol, but within limits. Slightly minty and dirty notes make it interesting.
Review by DomM
Exceptionally smooth yet tastey TDL. Very nice.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Interesting, slightly minty, leather and wood. I am thrilled ☺️
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great Fernandes tdl! Gooseberry cake with mint, a little ester and some baking spice. Round thing and a highly unusual aroma profile, which I have rarely found in Trinidad. But also a little charred and spicy on the finish.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This TDL is not one of the sweet, caramel ones like the ORS 2003, but neither is it a purebred dirty TDL of the 2001-2003 vintages. The nose is yellow-fruited with smoky herbal notes. Not so dissimilar to some of the 2003s, but less mint and less depth. The alcohol sits a bit uncomfortably on top of the flavors.In the mouth it is more intense than on the nose with similar flavors, the smokiness comes through even more clearly and brings almost something like a grain whiskey note. Although the rum is certainly more complex than the sweet, dark Trinidads, I don't really like it any better. It's already the exciting, dirty TDL profile, but I don't enjoy the barrel.
Review by Banana Joe
The mint only appears after some time in the glass. Otherwise, the sweet aromas are more dominant on the nose. This cocoa note is striking here, something I've never had before. Mint immediately appears on the palate, otherwise also rather herbal aromas. Chocolate can only be faintly sensed in the background here. Very nice and creamy in the mouth. I like it, PLV is top.
Review by alex
This tdl is delicious. It goes down smoothly. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Great aromas on the nose, which are well reflected in the mouth. The finish is quite long. I love it 😍
Review by DosenZorn
Great complex nose with noticeable alcohol. Still very balanced. On the palate, you can tell it's 19 years old. The cask did a good job. Alcohol is noticeable here too, but within acceptable limits. For about €50 back then, a blast.
Review by Fuwi
Stings quite in the nose, alcohol is not perfectly integrated. On the tongue first smoky sweetness, leather and wood. In the finish then amazing mint, light menthol influences, very wild and edgy, not too round. Fun, for once is not one that wants to be everybody's darling but comes along boorishly
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Excellent value for money. A very good T.D.L. of its kind. On the nose, a beautiful crème brulée, a lovely woodiness, a variety of dried fruits. Some toasted oilseeds. Menthol that evolves into camphor. A lively attack, with spices, exotic fruits, lots of lychee, overripe peach, kumkat, more menthol, a nice freshness. Medium to long finish. The empty glass is light and mentholated for a long time after tasting. Maj: lost a point after tasting other TDLs (Nobilis rum caksus, Samaroli 1999, cadenhead 19 ans, compagnie des Indes x bar 1802 19 ans...)
Review by Richard Krupa
Caroni, sweetness, leather, smokiness and a bit of rubber
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
I like it very much. A Trinidad that doesn't overwhelm and yet has all the superficial trademarks such as mint/menthol/eucalyptus paired with citrus fruits, light spiciness and a hint of earth/smoke/petrol. You can put it in your home bar, P/L is top.
Review by Roman Lelek
The color - well yellow - light The nose- herbal tones with woody and tropical fruits The taste - I mostly feel minty tones and the rest is behind - but of course - wood( cocoa), esters (like rubber) and fruits again. Sometimes it’s little bit harsh alcoholic… To sum up - good rum for good price, it’s like Jamaica, but with more minty tones..in blind degustation I would say Jamaica, but..wait a second..menthol..and it’s Trinidad
Review by Filip Heimerle
Slightly technical watering down, fresh and gentle on the palate, slightly minty, very pleasant
Review by Cédric Meyers
Alcohol well integrated, good but a bit sharp.
Review by Happy Oner
Mint, very little technique.
Review by Loïc V.
Nose: Fresh menthol, light rubber and some red fruit Taste: Menthol, light wood, some red fruits berry like, yellow fruits, Finish: Quite short, more on the menthol/eucalyptus Very nice easy sipper, representative of trinidad rum but not as brutal as early 2000s TDL, overall nicely balanced with a good alcohol integration
