Made for drinkers who want their Trinidad rum dark and dirty. Tar, wood, leather and mocha lead, with coffee and cigar smoke running underneath and just enough dried fruit and sweetness to keep it from turning grim. At 61.5% it bites early — a few drops of water and some air settle it. Several tasters call it an underrated cask worth decanting slowly.

How does T.D.L Kill Devil Trinidad Fernandes 1999 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, smoky Trinidad cask with tar and mocha A dark, smoky TDL most owners rate highly — roasted, tarry and complex. A couple find it a touch too dry and astringent, but almost nobody comes away disappointed.

Distinctive Fernandes. I don't like licorice, but here it's done really well. Charred barrel or slight over-aging on an otherwise mild rum. But it works here. Thanks Michael for the remaining bottle. I like it.

Nose: Roasted, dark notes are very dominat. Significantly different from the TBRC Fernandes. Palate: same again. Dark and roasted notes, some sweetness. Reminds me nothing of TDL but rather of a South/Middle American Spanish style rum. Again: very different compared to the TBCR.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A great and convincing bottling. Had the bottle at home for a long time and almost sold it, good thing I didn't. Lots of dirty, medicinal notes that you can attribute to Trinidad. Along with well-integrated sweetness and tropical fruits. Additionally tobacco, consistently coffee and oak. Very nice complexity. Quite a lot is happening. Only the alcohol has a slightly biting edge at the start, a bit of water works great here. For me, an underrated bottling.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
In itself a good TDL with well-integrated alcohol, but if there wasn't a part of the cask maturation at least in the Scotch whisky cask, I'll eat a broom... Unfortunately, that gives me a lot of deductions...
Review by Michael Schou
05-12-2025 - Rate 8.4 One of many new TDL’s tasted in 2025. Hope it continues in 2026. Nose of tar, wood, leather and methanol. Palate of wood, tar, methanol and dried fruits. Long finish dominated by tar, wood and a hint of smoke/tobacco.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Très bon, agréable en bouche, ce côté fumé, boisé, tabac est intéressant
Review by mto75
toasty smoky barrel notes, mocha and leather are blatantly dominant. A profile that I like, but others may find it too violent.
Review by Scalpa
It improves a lot after a good airing
Review by Johannes
Beautifully balanced, exciting rum.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is floral and buttery with hazelnuts! But also fruity: lemon-mango! Some sweeter and woody aromas stand out. It is successful and charming. In mouth, it is dense and smoked! We find the fruity of the nose, lime and spices. The whole is enhanced by a touch of vanilla. The finish is slightly astringent. The length is more than respectable on the charred wood! Nice TDL rather complex and fun to deconstruct in tasting. I regret this astringency which penalizes the greediness of this rum. Very nice before moving to more aromatic profiles!
Review by Jacques etdom
On the first nose, it's quite closed, some tropical fruit and a little apple with a dark edge. Gradually, cigar smoke appears and thickens. On the palate, it's quite dry and rough, still lightly fruity, with a smoky edge. The latter lasts quite a long time, almost reminding me of a whisky finish fut. I regret the lack of smoothness and slight sweetness found in some good tdl. A little too dry for my taste.
