TBRC T.D.L TDL Fernandes FPH 2006
Menthol, eucalyptus and ripe tropical fruit up front, with a dirty streak of rubber and petrol underneath and caramel-charred wood behind it. This 17-year Trinidad column-still runs fruity and spicy on the palate, though the mint can tip "a little over the top" for some. At 66% the heat is real, and it needs plenty of air to open.
The community says- Ripe tropical fruit

How does TBRC T.D.L TDL Fernandes FPH 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Minty, fruity Trinidad with a dirty rubber edge Most find it fruity, herbal and intensely spicy, with rubber and eucalyptus giving it grip. Divisive on the menthol, and the high-proof alcohol isn't fully tamed for everyone.
Fans of dirty, herbal Trinidad rum who don't mind high proof
Anyone put off by strong menthol or a hot pour

Review by TheRhumhoe
A remarkable TDL, very well selected by That Boutique-Y. The nose sails between the freshness of menthol, floral and herbaceous notes, the liveliness of spices, the precision of wood and the roundness of fruit. It's not the most unusual rum ever, but it's still well made in its register. On the palate, however, it's a veritable aromatic explosion. Yellow and tropical fruits by the bucketload (mango, passion fruit, papaya) grace the palate, accompanied by a dirty touch of petrol and rubber, a hint of salt and spice and a breath of minty freshness and eucalyptus. A striking profile, creamy, complete, complex and delicious. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish leaves the same breathtaking impression on a generously fruity, spicy, spicy, floral and fresh profile. The finish is surprisingly long. A full-bodied, rich and flavorful rum as we love them, at an unbelievable value for money.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity and woody, as with dried(prunes) and overripe tropical fruits, citrus, roasted and spicy wood. On aeration, the molasses is vegetal with flowery, herbal notes. There are some medicinal notes with rubber, the fruits are candied. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity and spicy with a pinch of salt, with overripe tropical fruits as passion fruit, mango, citrus with mandarine, the wood is charred with caramel, nuts, some smokiness and spicy. It is fresh and delicious.The molasses a bit bitter with vegetal notes like eucalyptus, as there are industrial notes with rubber, petrol. After resting the rum, it becomes dirtier, mustier, but covered with honey, so still very tasty.Yellow fruits stand out, pineapple is very ripe and some pear could be tasted. 8,5:The finish is long, round and tasty with tropical fruits, citrus , notes of roasted wood, spicy and musty, a bit vegetal, glazed with maple and caramelized...
Review by Jan Lu
Ein Rum der Zeit braucht. Recht fruchtig und süß in der Nase. Am Gaumen wird es noch fruchtiger und der Abgang ist dann sehr würzig. Eigentlich eine schöne Reihenfolge. Man muss nur genug Zeit mitbringen.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
On the nose: dried apricot, herbs and caramel. Full-bodied taste: peach, passion fruit, strong black tea, subtle menthol and petrol and overall quite dirty and intense. Alcohol is quite noticeable and could be better integrated. Aromatic but highly exciting interplay of sweetness, spice, freshness and fruit. Acts like a lovechild of Isautier Reunion and Trinidad TDL.
Review by kondgab
Tropical fruits and rubber in the palate. Tropical fruits and menthol/herbs in the nose too.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Difficult. Artificial on the nose (at least on mine), on the palate it could also be a whisky (and I'm really not a fan of that). TDL DNA almost imperceptible. I don't really warm to the rum. Update 30 minutes later, because I still had some in my glass: Wow, it's clearly improving towards TDL! I wouldn't have expected that. 3 points more.
