Vagabond Spirits Utopia 2024

Mint first — a lot of it — then coconut, milk chocolate and a slightly dirty, heavy edge underneath. This is a blend: the mentholated, oily TDL from Trinidad up front, with a softer, chocolatey Belize rum rounding it out. Most tasters find the two styles genuinely complement each other, with fruit and vanilla emerging as it opens. The 59% shows, and the finish divides people.

TDL meets Belize for a blend. Zu Beginn auch ordentlich Minze Minze Minze 😀, Kokos (und Belize) lassen sich bei mehrmaligen riechen aber auch gut erkennen. Am Gaumen treffen sich dann irgendwie zwei Welten. Das wirkt interessant wenn auch nicht perfekt. Hinten raus wirkt dann vor allem der Belize Anteil nach, es wird fruchtig trocken natürlich mit Minze. Schöne Utopie.

Naja, Belize ist jetzt nicht so mein Lieblingsprofil. Anfangs fand ich diesen Blend eigentlich ganz gut mit den T.D.L Markern. Was ihn leider zumindest bei mir das Genick bricht ist dieser Abgang, der Geschmacklich an Sodbrennen erinnert. Dort ist der Alkohol nicht wirklich gut integriert.

Utopia… das trifft es ganz gut… was für ein Blend… erstaunlich wie gut diese Mischung zwischen TDL und Belize harmoniert. Nichts dominiert, beide Stile kommen durchaus zur Geltung und vereinen ihre Vorzüge! Mir gefällt es

TDL trifft auf Belize, das hatte ich so noch nicht im Glas. Hatte ich bis jetzt auch nicht für nötig empfunden =D Nach der zweitem Verkostung muss ich sagen, dass die Mischung für mich sehr gut passt. So unterschiedlich die beiden Komponenten auch sein mögen, so gut ergänzen sie sich. Den Startschuss am Gaumen macht ein dreckiges TDL Profil, begleitet von der typischen Minznote. Irgendwann fruchtet sich die Milchschokoladen- Kokosnuss aus Belize in das Aromenspektrum, bis der, leider flache, Abgang wieder in Minze umschlägt. Jeder Schluck scheint anders zu sein. Dieser Rum lädt zum experimentieren am Gaumen ein. Super!

Ce blend tdl Belize est audacieux et très bien réussi. Ce sont deux rum avec des profils très différents, mais finalement complémentaires. Le TDL lourd domine et reste la base. Le Belize vient pour arrondir avec du chocolat/ toffee dans l attaque et en finale. Une belle fraîcheur mentholée parcours la dégustation. Un bon petit chocolat menthe style after-eight.

#6810 19.05.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after my hiking and picking up my wife. Listening to som nice tracks on Spotify by Nifra, Jardin and Hardwell. This is a pretty well balanced release with an OK price tag. A medium intense profile with nice mint, caramel, fruits, some glue, chocolate, spies and nice roasted wood.

Rhum goûté au GRF à Berlin en 2026. Un blend de TDL et de Belize, deux profils que j’apprécie et qui sont bien présents au nez. L’alcool est trop présent pourtant, bien que j’aie laissé reposer ce rhum longtemps dans mon verre. La bouche est belle, le blend est réussi mais pourtant pas parfait, je sens les deux provenances distinctes et elles se superposent au lieu de se fondre. J’adore toujours les rhums de Trinidad pour leur puissance aromatique mais ici les fruits restent (trop?) discrets. La finale est longue, savoureuse. Du très beau travail.

Extremely successful blend. The typical TDL mint notes in a somewhat softened form. Slight coconut-Belize notes in the finish.

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.
