Members like this one but keep calling it an untypical TDL — the trademark menthol note is almost gone, which some miss and others welcome. What's left is sweeter than most Trinidad rums: vanilla, toffee, burnt sugar, raisin and ripe cantaloupe, with peach coming through as it sits. One taster likens it to a Foursquare-Beenleigh blend walking between Spanish and English styles.

How does Anam na h-Alba T.D.L Trinidad Single Cask Rum 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, easy-going TDL with almost no menthol A gentle, easy-sipping TDL most rate highly — the catch is that 11 years leaves it a touch short on depth, and it burns hot at full proof.

Review by Dr.Django
A long time since the first tasting. The rating remains identical. A good easy sipper, very sweet for a T.D.L, with vanilla and burnt sugar. For the price at the time, an absolute recommendation.
Review by HenryL
Nose quite restrained, then stronger in the mouth. Over time, nice peach fruit notes come through. A more relaxed TDL, I find good because you can drink it more often than those from the early 2000s.
Review by DomM
Nice column still expression. A little unassuming, however.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This is not a very dirty TDL. The nose is very soft and sweet with a hint of burntness, but mainly milk or whey - this is rather unusual and not just pleasant. There's also some dried fruit and very ripe cantaloupe melon. The mouth is still quite young: lots of fruit and a slight acidity turns the milk into yoghurt. The vegetal side, especially the mint, is completely missing 😢. Instead, there is a Christmassy side: Ginger, roasted almonds and coriander seeds. The finish is rather short, but brings some smokiness. At only 11 years old, it lacks a little complexity and depth. Nevertheless, it is an intense, harmonious rum that walks the line between Spanish and English style, similar to Barbados. Certainly something I will drink more often.
Review by Harald
Color: Amber Nose: Very sweet and aromatic. Alcoholic-fruity with tobacco and toffee aromas. Clean without off-notes. Taste: Sweet at first with vanilla, then alcoholic sharpness. Very spicy with toffee and caramel when swallowing. Also naturally alcoholic-sharp given the alcohol content. Finish: Long Alcoholic, toffee, spicy-sharp, old wood. Slightly bitter in the aftertaste. Conclusion: tasty, no flaws 85 points
Review by alex
Superb this TDL 🤩🤩 Beautiful roundness, vanilla caramel dominant with spices and woodiness. Little or almost no menthol which I don't mind. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Medium to long length. 😍😍
Review by Wernie
Interesting drop, atypical TDL, but not bad. It reminds me more of a blend of Foursquare and Beenleigh. The 65.7% cannot be hidden. After several sips and on the finish some TDL genes come through, only the typical menthol note is completely missing. I like it very much, something different. 😉
