T.D.L Kill Devil 2003
Well-liked but not one anyone calls remarkable — that's the honest read here. This TDL leans dry and light: soft wood, caramel, cherry and a little medicinal edge, with vanilla and peach on the palate. A few tasters wish the alcohol sat better and the finish lasted; one calls it almost too easy to drink. Pleasant, fresh, and gone before you know it.
The community says- Dry cherry-vanilla
- Fresh and light
- But: Fleeting finish

How does T.D.L Kill Devil 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Dry, light Trinidad sipper with a short finish Most land around "nice but nothing exceptional" — a relaxed Trinidad sipper. The recurring gripes: a short, fleeting finish and alcohol that could integrate better.

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.

31.01.2020 Relaxing at a small tasting at a local dining place that is no more. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: Wood, light smoke, light, medicinal, caramel, dried fruit. Palate: Light, wood, light smoke, caramel, fruity, medicinal, lightly bitter, berries. Finish: Medium long, wood, berries, caramel, faint chocolate.
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 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.
