T.D.L Planteray One Time Limited Edition Trinidad TDL 2003
Anyone curious about Trinidad's TDL 2003 vintage should start here — it's the easy way in. Loud mint, menthol and eucalyptus lead, backed by yellow stone fruit (peach, pear, mirabelle), light oak and a faint medicinal, tobacco edge. At 47.8% it drinks soft and fresh; big sips go down fast. Several tasters wish it were bottled stronger, and the finish runs a touch short and dry.
The community says- Loud mint & menthol

How does T.D.L Planteray One Time Limited Edition Trinidad TDL 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 214 community reviews.
Fresh minty Trinidad, easy 22-year sipper Loved as the price-to-quality find of the year and a friendly entry to TDL. Classic mint-menthol-fruit profile; the main gripe is the reduced strength and a shortish, oaky-dry finish.

Review by Jakob
A distillate matured to perfection with an exquisite aroma structure. Thanks to the alcohol strength, nothing remains hidden; rather, all nuances are revealed in magnificent form: mint and eucalyptus provide fresh and cooling notes, tropical fruits offer the entire spectrum from young citrus to fully ripe sweet flavors, and the barrel contributes harmonious vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice notes. It would have been exciting to try this rum at full strength—but what made it into the glass is convincing across the board. Excellent, top-notch sipping.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Bringt alles mit was man von einem guten 2003er TDL erwartet. Für ~60€ bekommt man hier wirklich viel für sein Geld! Einen so alten Single cask heutzutage noch für unter 100€ zu bekommen ist wirklich außergewöhnlich! Aromatisch findet sich hier wie zu erwarten war viel Minze, etwas Eukalyptus und Virginia Tabak, sowie Zitrusfrüchte (Zitrone , Mandarine und yuzu) und gelbes Kernobst wie Birnen und Mirabelle, begleitet von viel Holz und intensiven Tanninen, sowie leicht medizinischen (salzig bitter jodig) Beiklängen. Der reduzierte Alkoholgehalt erhöht den Trinkfluss deutlich. Muss sich definitiv nicht hinter teils 3-4x so teuren Schwesterfässern in Fassstärke verstecken! Mir ist er nur insgesamt etwas zu holzig und trocken im Abgang...
Review by Mirco
Convinces with a sensational price-performance ratio. Despite being noticeably diluted, the rum is comparatively complex. Despite the expected mint/menthol and euchalyptus notes, it offers beautiful aromas of citrus fruits, light spice and subtle oak, which unfold unexpectedly harmoniously. I like it very much, as it shows more depth than the moderate alcohol content initially suggests.
Review by TheJackDrop
Quickly tasting the Maison du Whisky salon. I really didn't expect this from a rum rum, made with molasses, and priced at €85. It has all the qualities of a good Trinidad, fruity, minty, a bit woody. Not super complex but very pleasant. I'm rating it a bit higher for the effort on the price.
Review by Eric Frechin
Quelle belle bouteille ! Dans tout les sens du terme, plaisir des yeux avec un très joli packaging, un parfum frais mentholé et fruité qui annonce une dégustation d un TDL que l on aime pour ces caractéristiques. Vu son prix, c est une véritable aubaine.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 Dès l'ouverture, une belle note caramélisée, vanillée et épicée. Puis, on retrouve la combinaison caractéristique des TDL 2003, menthe, fruits jaunes (dominance) et tropicaux (en retrait). Le menthol se dirige vers l'odeur des huiles essentielles éponymes. 😋 Je suis impressionné par l'intensité de la saveur de menthe/eucalyptus surtout pour une dilution assez importante de l'assemblage. On a cette fraîcheur caractéristique que l'on trouve sur le camphre. Pas mal d'épices poivrées et de fruits aussi en début de bouche (plus fruits jaunes) puis la saveur adorable de cassis mélangé à du thé. C'est suffisamment herbacé presque comme sur un TDL 2002. ⛳ Assez asséchante, légèrement amère, sur les baies noires, la menthe et les feuilles de thé. Un boisé vanillé et fondu garde relativement longtemps les arômes en bouche malgré la dilution, encore une fois. 💡 Tous les marqueurs d'un TDL typique du millésime 2003 sont présents, de façon plus ou moins légère en fonction des arômes. Je penche plus sur un équilibre et une rondeur des arômes que sur leur relative complexité. 🏆 Pour son PVC de 84🍒 (se trouve à 65-70 en cherchant un peu), il joue dans la catégorie des meilleurs rapports qualité prix de l'année 2025. Un must have pour faire découvrir Trinidad Distillers Limited avant d'attaquer les gros single cask 2001-02-03-09.
Review by Basti
Ich bin schwer beeindruckt. Die Bewertungen waren ja bisher schon eher positiv, aber das hätte ich zu dem Preis dennoch nicht erwartet. Die Nase bringt alles mit was ich von einem 2003er TDL erwarte. Minze, Menthol, Beeren, reife Früchte, eine schöne Süße. Muss sich aus meiner Sicht nicht vor seinen Fass-starken Brüdern verstecken was die Nase angeht. Am Gaumen findet sich alles wieder was die Nase verspricht. Natürlich ist das aufgrund der Verdünnung nicht so intensiv und langanhaltend wie man das von den Single Casks gewohnt ist, dafür sind hier größere Schlücke möglich und preislich spielt der Planteray in einer anderen Liga. Für mich bis dato der PLV Knaller des Jahres!
Review by Tim
Holy... What is this? The frame data is already impressive, but the complexity of the nose and palate are on a high level. And then the whole thing for 60-70€. Wow! Very fruity and floral with an underlying honey/caramel note and vanilla. Also pretty intense through and through for just under 48%. You can't really criticize anything.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, menthol and yellow, citrus fruits, slightly smoky roasted wood notes like caramel, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spicy with allspice, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is musty, at first dark with black tea, later fresh, flowery and minty, pairing mango, mandarine, pineapple and currants one one side, rubber, metallic patina and tannins on the other. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is fruity with mango, mandarine, medicinal with menthol and rubber, as the wood is roasted with nuts and caramel, chocolate, vanilla adds to creaminess, rounds the first impact with tasting buds.When well oxidized, the molasses brings eucalyptus, tobacco and black tea, is flowery and minty, as there are yellow fruits, passion fruit and bergamot, grapefruit intermingled with confectionery and slightly tannic wood. 8,4:The finish is rather long, dry and tannic, as slightly smoky, spicy roasted wood notes pair mineral, earthy and musty molasses, grassy with lemon grass, some eucalyptus, tropical(mango), citrus fruits and some currants, pear and a pinch of medicinal notes. Edit:18.1.26, 0,1 up
Review by cigares
A very expressive nose, fruity (tutti frutti), minty (but not too minty), dirty and greedy. What more could you ask for in a rum priced at around €85? The wood is noticeable afterwards, supporting the other aromas. The first palate is soft and expressive, fruity, mentholated and woody. A complex, drinkable rum. The finish is the weak point of this otherwise exceptional rum. Menthol and marzipan aromas linger for a long time. A discovery, a delicious, very drinkable rum at an incredible price.
Review by Chrischi78
A real find - it's hard to believe what you get for your money here. This Trinidad rum surprises with a wonderfully clear, minty-medicinal impact that runs through the nose and palate without ever being overpowering. Behind this, a complex mixture of strong spice, dark wood and ripe tropical fruit builds up - all neatly integrated and very balanced. Over time, fine tobacco notes and a hint of pleasant mustiness also emerge, giving the rum additional depth. A big thank you to the community for all the tips - without you, I would probably have slipped through the cracks with this one.
Review by mto75
First impression: fruity-sweet nose with (tropical) fruit basket, papaya, mango, mirabelle plum, pleasant freshness. Lots of fruit on the palate too, nice minty undertones, tannins/barrel in the finish...dangerously drinkable 😄 the P/L ratio is even better than the 2009 TDL one-time limited
Review by Johannes
What a price-performance ratio! For 60 euros you get the typical complex TDL 2003 club! Mint, fruit, wood, light caroni notes, great complexity, alcohol super integrated. A complex easy sipper! Hammer! I have to give an extra point for the price...
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 a salad of ripe fruit (mango, peach, guava, banana) comes through, complemented by caramel, vanilla and a little lemon and eucalyptus. 👄 we find this in a fat, woody whole, with dried fruits, chocolate, slightly spicy and vinous, with a warm but short finish in relation to its age. A very pleasant fruity old molasses rum, its sweetness making it consensual and its finish inviting you to refill 😋 And what's more its price is very affordable.

Review by Louis Zimmermann
Freshness and sweetness without breaking the bank. Ripe yellow fruit on the nose, with a hint of wood and menthol. On the palate, juicy mango, exotic fruit and a mint leaf finish. A sensation of freshness, an oily texture, a gentle alcohol content... It drinks itself! Perfect for lounging in the sun ☀️🍃
Review by Skyfly
Can only agree with the other reviews. A really great TDL with strong mint, eucalyptus, tropical fruits, wood and light notes of caramel, spices, eucalyptus and tobacco. Alcohol perfectly integrated. PLV cracker!
Review by TheRhumhoe
The bottler hits the nail on the head with this TDL. The nose is very soft and opulently round, the aromas rich but the profile rather light. Fresh notes of menthol and eucalyptus take effect, while tropical yellow and red fruits add voluptuousness to the profile. The whole is enhanced by sweet spices and well-integrated oak for its age. A very pleasant nose that you can breathe in for a long time for pleasure. The palate has the typical character of a TDL, with the fresh floral notes that give it such a pleasant taste on the palate. There's an abundance of tropical (passion fruit) and citrus (lemon) fruit, enhanced by a spicy woodiness. The profile is very tasty, not the most complex, but clearly accessible to all and will open up new horizons for beginners. The alcohol is well integrated, combining control and power for its relatively low alcohol content. The finish is not the longest and loses a little in aroma, particularly on the floral side. The exotic citrus fruitiness returns, along with a drier, spicier finish that's nonetheless elegant and relatively smooth. An ultra-efficient TDL with exotic flavors and unbeatable value for money, hats off to Maison Ferrand for distributing this quality product so easily.

Read full review →So, if we take a look at the big picture, which is the principle of a conclusion, we have: A fine concentration of aromas typical of TDL 2003. A reduction that keeps the fatness and pleasure of tasting at its best. Classy packaging. An insane price, less expensive than a bad white rum from I don't know where. But.... go for it, people! Go for it, because there won't be many of these priced like this.... We're talking about a 22-year-old rum, aren't we!
