The finish is long and intense, characterized by a union of empyreumatic aromas and vanilla that lingers for several minutes.
This rum is a true treasure, offering a unique combination of vibrant citrus, warm vanilla, refreshing mint, smoky barrel undertones, rich caramel, bold barrel notes, captivating spices, and a minty freshness. Adding to its allure, this rum also boasts an unexpected blend of clove, tea, peach, and apple tones that truly set it apart from others.

In conclusion, the Compagnie des Indes' T.D.L Trinidad Distillery Aged Rum is a must-try for any rum enthusiast. Its distinct complexity, drawn from 16 years of aging, and the unexpected fruit and mint duet make it a truly unique and unforgettable rum experience.
This rum is a limited edition with only 281 bottles available, distilled in 2000, and aged for 16 years. Its high ABV of 63% and unique combination of complex flavors make it truly unique.
The predominant flavors include smoky undertones, pruneau, vanilla, caramel, spearmint, menthol, clove, tea, peach, and apple.
This 2000 vintage is similar to the fruity 2003s and shares characteristics with the newer CDI Trinidad 16 2019, though it has its distinct flavor profile.
The finish is long and intense, featuring a mix of sourness, sharpness, chocolate, menthol, black tea, smokiness, and hints of barrel char.
Reviewers often note that TDL rums can be a gamble, ranging from flat caramel rums to complex minty and fruity profiles. This 2000 vintage leans more towards the latter with its intriguing blend of caramel candy, mint, light fruit notes, and a more exciting palate featuring yellow fruit, mint, clove, tea, peach, and apple. While some compare it closely to the newer CDI Trinidad 16 2019, many find this older vintage extremely delicious with its after menthol, after-eight chocolate, and dark caramel brownie notes.
