Romdeluxe T.D.L Wild Series Rum Trinidad No. 14 2009

Owners keep rating this one high, and the mint is why. That unmistakable TDL menthol-eucalyptus streak runs through it, wrapped in wood, tannins, dark fruit and a "schön dreckig" edge that keeps things interesting. It needs air — several members say it stays half-closed on the nose and rewards a long time in the glass. Bold and complex, best sipped slowly.

The community says
  • Signature TDL mint
  • Complex and layered
  • But: Closed-up nose

Today there is a fine T.D.L Battle at a high level. CDI 2003, 19yo bottles for 1802: Very refreshing, with lots of mint, eucalyptus, light fruits. Grapes and a fresh woody bitter note. Nice long and warm finish. Second tasting: -1 point Romdeluxe 2009: This is completely different. Much darker fruit, much more roasted aromas, but less mint. Creamy in the mouth with candied fruit. Great rum. +1 point

Beautiful matte bottle under 100 euros. You can feel the alcohol, but very drinkable. I recommend it even to beginner rum drinkers to discover new flavors. The mint from TDL is an unmistakable taste that you will never get tired of.

Nose: intense with herbs and smokey notes. Rather closed-up on the first go. Palate: Very intense with herbs, wood and some dirty notes. Not quite on par with the early 2000s, but very nice profile nonetheless.

Angostura is famous for a bottle most people never drink neat. The bitters house founded in 1824 became Trinidad's only rum distillery, and its arm Trinidad Distillers makes a clean, column-distilled, Spanish-style rum unlike the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. The same plant still guards the secret recipe for the world's most famous cocktail bitters.
