Bristol T.D.L Trinidad Rum for Haromex Dev. 2006
Wood leads, with caramel, vanilla and a cool streak of mint running underneath — the mint is the giveaway that this is a Trinidad TDL, though plenty of tasters blind-guessed Panama or a soft Spanish style. A single 2006 cask at 59.8%, and most find the alcohol sits surprisingly well. A couple do call the sweetness too much. One reviewer even caught "dirty Caroni notes" after a long rest.
The community says- Cool mint note
- Sips well for 60%
- But: Can read too sweet

Edit: RumX Advent Calendar 2024 Bonus 1 I didn't realize it, but due to the long (involuntary) standing time today I had the dirty Caroni notes with me. I still think it's delicious. A nice TDL for me. Just needs a little time in the glass, but then it's very enjoyable. Edit: Tasted it again on 19.09.23, after I had the Swell Private Garden #4 in my glass before. I find this one a lot better. This one has more power and after a while it unfolds its full range.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Der erste Impuls war ganz klar Panama. Die Mischung aus Vanille und Orangenschale war erst eindeutig. Dann wird er immer fruchtiger und holziger mit leichter Kräuter Note. Aber auch alkoholisch. Ganz schwere Kiste. Mindestens 60% würde ich sagen. Darüberhinaus.... let me think.. würde auf ein junges Destillat tippen. Da es sehr neutral ist kann ich es nicht gut verorten und würde es heute daher offen lassen. Insgesamt ganz lecker aber auch nichts was in Erinnerung bleibt.
Review by Boletus
Tag 25 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Anders als das, was ich sonst so von dieser Brennerei gewohnt bin. Ein paar Aromen gibt es zwar auch hier, die sich in den von mir geschätzten Vintages von T.D.L ebenfalls finden lassen, wie die etwas schmutzige Gumminote des Geruchs und die dezente Untermalung mit Minze, aber ansonsten könnte das auch ein Rum spanischen Stils sein. Insgesamt ein noch guter Tropfen, der mir allerdings im Mund etwas zu süß und zu alkoholisch ist.
Review by cigares
Calendrier de l’Avent RumX, jour 25. Un nez avec de l’alcool, du bois, de la vanille et du sucre brun. S’y ajoute de la banane et un côté herbes sèches. La bouche est agréable et avec de la fraîcheur (menthol) qui n’était pas marquante au nez. Plus de fruits aussi, fruits secs mais aussi fruits tropicaux. La finale est courte même si quelques arômes persistent plus longtemps : boisé amer et sucré brun. Un rhum plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît au premier abord.
Review by Tom Buteneers
RumXmas 2024, day 25, bonus For me a rather atypical TDL, I thaught it was something South American in the glas. Alcohol well integrated, sips easily despite the ABV. Vanilla, caramel, spices and roasted wood, Not the markers in the profile that I’ll unusually associate with TDL. I’m not getting any menthol. Enjoyable but not memorable.
Review by Dr.Django
I rarely had 2006 T.D.Ls, as well as bottlings from Bristol. These T.D.L. also taste very rare. Blindly, I would have put these more in the Spanish direction. I still like them, but nobody should expect a fruity micro-bomb here. Cask 472/2 is very creamy on the palate and somewhat woody and bitter on the finish, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Cask 472/1, on the other hand, is somewhat more linear and even less exciting.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
15.07.2021 Nothing better than meeting people for dinner and rum when you're on holiday. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, faint rubber, dried fruit, spice. Palate Warm, wood, roasted, medium dry, plum, spice, faint tar and rubber. Finish Medium to long, wood, roasted, cherry, light chocolate.
Review by Agricoler
Tag 25 RumX Adventskalender Ich würde auf einen TDL oder Mount Gay tippen. Eine gewisse pflanzliche Note ist zu spüren (evtl. Minze).Im Hintergrund ein wenig Banane mit ein bisschen Zitrusnoten. Gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut. Ein absolut solider Rum der eher vom super Bourboneinfluss lebt.
Review by Filip Šikula
Moc hezké T.D.L. Ve vůni dává tušit sladký profil s mátou, který ale po napití není uplně trefený. Trocha té sladkosti tam sice je, ale primární jsou tam pro mě špinavé tóny, které mám rád. Přijemný dlouhý závěr. Rumy-X adventní kalendář Oliver Gerhart 2024
Review by Mentalo
Das größte Problem ist die penetrante Süße, welche andere Noten erwas überlagert. Dabei kommen durchaus Noten von viel Vanille, etwas Minze, Beeren und auch etwas Dreck durch. Fand den gar nicht so verkehrt, aber wie gesagt, die Süße hat mich sehr gestört.
Review by Alex1981
RumX Kalender 2024 Bonus 1: Vanille, Kokos, angenehm süß. Im Mund kommt Schärfe hinzu, die Vanille & Kokosnoten bleiben. Dazu sehr süß. Finish eher kurz mit Schärfe. Tippe auf irgendwas in Mittelamerika, evtl. Panama? Eher enttäuschend, insbesondere im Vergleich zu den letzten Tagen davor
Review by Manuel
RumX Advent Calendar 2024: No. 25 Possibly Bardados today? Very nice rum with woody and fruity influences. Very pleasant sweetness in the finish. Alcohol very well integrated, guess around 60%. Another great selection for the calendar.
Review by Timo Groeger
RumX Advent Calendar 2024 Bonus 1 Also a very good rum here. The nose is predominantly woody, but caramel and chocolate are also recognizable. On the palate also a lot of wood, but also some mint. Alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Jakob
Taut blend of barrel notes, caramel, peppery spice, candied fruit and roasted aromas. The palate also has a pleasant nuttiness, but also a somewhat rough alcoholic sharpness. A rum with appealing aromas that only lacks the final balance.
Review by alex
Très beau profile, j’aime bcp. Comme pour le RDL, on sent un peu le mentholé mais c’est pas dominant , donc ça laisse la place à de beaux arômes de caramel, epices… du coup j’apprécie beaucoup 😍c’est superbe
Review by Martin Spooner
Blindverkostung Adventskalender 2024: an der Nase relativ unscheinbar. Am Gaumen viel Nougat und Karamell. Außerdem relativ scharfe Note, die aber nach einer Weile im Glas abgemildert wird. Leckeres Ding.
Review by Vincent D
Un profil moins intense que les TDL 2003 ou 2001 que je connais mieux. Boisé. Réglisse. Je le trouve clairement moins fruité que ce je connais de cette provenance. Menthol léger. Longueur moyenne. Sympa.
Review by Righrum
Pretty difficult this one. I'd say an old Demerara due to the caramel notes and the liquorice that in the mouth is really noticeable, while on the nose is mixed with wood and resembles liquorice sticks.
Review by primus
RumX Adventskalender 2024 Türchen Nummer 25: In der Nase überwiegt das Holz, daneben etwas Karamell und Lakritze. Am Gaumen bleibt dieser Rum integer mit einer nicht aufdringlichen Süße baut er das holzige und schokoladige weiter aus.
Review by Lot-NAS
Quite a decent TDL, molasse, vanilla, some spices and hints of menthol / mint leaves on top. The latter adds a freshness that I really like.
