Chorlton Whisky T.D.L Single Cask Trinidad Rum 2023
Anyone who likes their Trinidad rum on the dry, spicy side will find plenty here. The nose is all toasted toffee, coconut and a menthol note behind the sweetness; the palate turns drier — vanilla, black tea, honey and a green bell-pepper edge. At 64.2% it's a firecracker. One member found it darker and woodier than the classic minty TDLs and bought a second bottle anyway.

Review by Alexander Rasch
A TDL on the dark side of power. Concentrated but complex on the nose. The picture continues on the palate. Menthol only comes out at the back and discreetly in the background. Anyone looking for classic TDL notes with lots of mint will be disappointed here. For all neutral rum fans, the rum is definitely interesting. I'm satisfied, as it also works very well in a Cuba Libre, where its 64.2% makes quite a splash.
Review by Dr.Django
Comparison with the T.D.L from Chorlton RX18983 and Roots RX20517. Roots: very intensely fruity. fruits of all kinds in the nose and on the palate, which appear increasingly candied on the palate. a typical T.D.L mint note plays around the whole. the finish is medium-long and unspectacular. a great T.D.L, which is looking for its equal in palatability. - 87 points. chorlton: also a typusch fruity 2009 T.D.L. proful, a bit dirtier, frücjte are overripe, with more earthy and towards the finish also mineral flavors. -82 points. I really like the 2009 T.D.L! If the alcohol had been better integrated in both, they would have scored more points. I'm curious to see what else will come.
Review by Henry Davies
Sugar and spice. A real firecracker. Easy drinking and some great spice. Interesting rum. Classic TDL notes, menthol and green pepper. It’s enjoyable but nothing unique or worth buying a full bottle. For the price an good value option.
Review by Master P
Smell very sweet but pleasant with red fruits. The taste is very sweet, but still ok. With honey herbs, mint just a hint. The ABV is briefly pungent, but after a few sips it becomes rounder. Personally, I expected a bit more for a 2009, but it's still ok.
Review by FischeJ
Good mixer, but for pure enjoyment a far cry from other, better TDLs. More wood and caramel here. Some fruit and a hint of mint.
Review by DomM
Not much going on on the nose for the first go. Rather closed up with wood and some burnt caramel. Does not deliver on the fruit and/or herbal side of the TDL profile unfortunately. A bit more interesting on the palate. Yet still not very exciting, with only some hints of herbs and fruits showing up to the party.
