Cane Island T.D.L Angostura Trinidad
"Intriguing and different with every sip" is how one member put it, and that captures the pull here: vanilla, caramel and ripe banana up front, with the classic TDL menthol-mint and a whiff of glue or petrol underneath. Several tasters find it a touch too sweet, and a few call it thin on depth. An easy 8-year column rum that many happily pour into cola.
The community says- Vanilla and banana
- Easy to sip
- But: Too sweet

How does Cane Island T.D.L Angostura Trinidad taste?
Aggregated from 109 community reviews.
Sweet, easy Trinidad with a minty edge Well-liked as an easy, sweet Trinidad sipper with vanilla, banana and a minty TDL edge. The recurring gripe: too much sweetness and not much depth for enthusiasts.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively wild & dirty with so much glue/petrol. Very unusual for a Trinidad. Mint, caramel syrup, dried fruit and lots of spices on the palate. But it's not really harmonious. Too sweet and at the same time too "dirty".
Review by Martin Ekrt
Quite its flavours. A hospital with sweet syrup. Taste shows TDL mintiness/mintiness, but loaded with sugar. A terrible shame for me. If it wasn't for the overly sweetness I would enjoy this rum. As it is, I feel a missed opportunity on the finish. Edit: slight reduction in rating. The sweetness is a detriment.

Rough, strong pirate rum ;-)
Review by Rumpalumpa
A very round rum. Pleasant spiciness with dry fruit on the nose, e.g. raisins. Then on the palate with a nice sweetness, spiciness from the cask, fruit covered by a little smoke. The molasses in particular lingers relatively long on the finish.
Review by Andzin
You can find typical Angostura notes in it. Menthol and medical, dirt all is there. Then also quite a lot sugar and integration of alcohol is not so gut. I have consumed two bottles in mixures and it goes well with coke.

Intriguing and different with every sip, a good discovery.

Description: Cane island single estate trinidad 8 ans, 8 ans d'âge,43% Cane island est un embouteilleur indépendant qui propose de rhums des Caraïbes et d'Amérique latine,vieilli exclusivement sous climat tropical. Ce rhum est distillé en colonne ,vieilli sous climat tropicale, de la distillerie TDL, vieilli en fût de chêne blanc américain, pendant 8 ans révolus (8 année entière) Nez: caramel, vanillé et rond Bouche: pimenté,caramel, vanille,rond mais avec des ''kick back'' du piment. Finale: moyen ,reste caramélisé et vanillé,bien équilibré. Conclusion: je viens de voir que la bouteille était à 40€ ,ça me paraît être un bon prix à+-10€ . Très chouette à découvrir. Est ce que je prendrais une bouteille ? Non . Appart si ça coûte 30 euros car comme sipping rhum ,il est très intéressant.
Review by rum_sk
Quite sweet in the taste, unexpectedly sweet. Mostly chocolate, cream, vanilla and caramel with hints of wood on the 👅. 👃 Is completely different without any note of sweetness, providing slight alcoholic odour with notes of vanilla and oak/wood. Somewhere in the background you can smell sort of a gas like natural gas that is being used in home for cooking. I could not choose gas so I went with petrol which is closest. Overall taste is very good, nose is a little bit less interesting, or not at all really. Short to medium finish. Next one I will pour my self an angostura 1919 for direct comparison.
Review by ChristophFFM
A surprise from the 24 rums calendar. I taste an oily tar note here. I don't read anything about that in the other reviews. Strange. I'll have to get myself a bottle and keep testing.
Review by Jan Sajbrt
Stopa "Trinidadu" je v tom jasne znatelna, velmi dobre pitelny a chutny rum. Decentne vonavy a nevyprcha. Jemny alkohol, krasne se nese az do konce. Urcite prijde do sbirky.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Ça c'est bon, c'est rond. Très légèrement sucré. Sur les fruit un peu confits.
Review by Motvind
Dofter av banan och vanilj. Söta smaker av frukt, trä och kryddor. Kort avslutning.
Review by MJ72
Holziger Grundton, etwas Banane mit typischem Caramellton. Holz und Banane, allerdings sehr dezent am Gaumen, würziger Grundton, ölig und rund. Mittlerer Abgang, würziges Holz bleibt.

27.9.2024 Cubana Bar Brno ve vůni čokoláda, vanilka, lepidlo, hodne zajimava, kořenitá chuť hladka, mirne nasladla, chviličku hodne výrazná, ale nevydrží dlouho
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.14 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very sweet nose of ripe bananas and vanilla. Some notes of honey aswell. Palate is warm and sweet with tropical fruits.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Other than being just a little too sweet and easy going for my personal tastes this overall is not a bad rum. It's just pretty ordinary. It is easy to sip and is perhaps also reminiscent of the Barceló rums from the Dominican - particularly the Imperial Blend.
