Thompson Bros. T.D.L Error 502 Bad Gateway 2008
Members land around a good-but-brash verdict, and the fix comes up again and again: don't drink this neat. At 61% it's hot and metallic, with copper, wet earth and a piquant, almost medicinal edge. Add water — a real splash — and TDL's tropical fruit and a clear mint note come through, warm and rounder. Several tasters rate better TDLs, but few call it a dud.

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Hot, minty TDL that needs a big splash of water Good, not great, and it needs water to show it. Verdict splits between "brash and metallic neat" and a balanced, minty TDL once you reduce it.

Review by Lot-NAS
The alcohol is pretty intense but with some water - and by that I mean lot - you get quite a decent TDL and it feels nice and balanced. Drinking this neat would be a waste.
Review by kargoles
Un trinidad légèrement trop alcooleux mais bien marqué. Si on aime les watts il envoie et reste bon sinon il vaut mieux s’a
Review by Johannes
Beautiful complexity! A little unrounded in the finish and too much column style. But otherwise really good and drinkable.
Review by JFehr
Angenehm komplex. Mit spannenden geschmacklichen Anspielungen. Warm und rund

Review by Mentalo
Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Wenig spannend mit bisschen Beerenfruchtnote, leichte Süße, im Abgang etwas rauchig. Da gibt es imo deutlich bessere T.D.Ls
Review by Henry Davies
It’s an interesting rum from Thompson Bros. A relatively young and fairly brash rum from TDL bottled at 13 years. The nose is fairly typical with copper and metallic notes and little in the way of fruit, mouth again metal with earth and wet root notes and a hint on salty brine. The finish is medium length and a bit thin but with more interesting layers including soap, vegetation and cloves. It is not a super impressive rum but interesting enough to try and while not impressive not disasterous across any dimension and hard to complain for the price
