T.D.L Kill Devil 2003
Most tasters land on "pleasant but not remarkable" with this one. Expect wood, caramel and dried fruit on the nose, then a drier palate of cherry, lime and a little vanilla spice. One member calls it fresh and light, almost too easy to drink; another wished the alcohol were better integrated and missed the usual TDL mint-and-fruit notes. A short, fast-fading finish is the recurring gripe.
The community says- Cherry and caramel
- Easy to drink
- Short finish

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Easy, woody Trinidad with a short finish Liked, not loved. People enjoy the cherry, wood and caramel and the easy drinking, but several note a weak, fleeting finish and an oddly soft, "too Spanish" character for a TDL.

Review by Montana
A sweet and spicy aroma, a little vanilla, quaffable.Also the taste is slightly sweet, a little burning from the alcohol in the finish.Very pleasant.
Review by Daniel
Herbs and spices dominate on the nose while the fruits with chocolate and wood are in front in the taste.Unfortunately, the rum is very volatile, there is virtually no finish.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is floral and buttery with hazelnuts! But also fruity: cherry! Some sweeter and woody aromas stand out. It is successful and charming. In mouth, it is dense and dry! We find the cherry of the nose, lime and spices. The whole is enhanced by a very pleasant vanilla touch. The finish is slightly acidic and slightly stings the tongue. We have a small minty and iodized effect which remains in mouth. The length is more than respectable on the wood! Nice TDL ! It is fresh, light and can be drunk very (too) easily. But despite everything, it remains complex and fun.
