Rumclub Private Selection Soul of Trinidad (14. German Rumfest) 2025

Trinidad geeks who want the whole island in one glass will get the most here: a blend where TDL leads with mint, eucalyptus and peach, Caroni adds its dirty rubber-and-tar edge, and Ten Cane tucks in some tannin and red berries. Several tasters say it needs 15 minutes of air to fully open. Balanced and complex, at a punchy 57.5%.

The community says
  • Well balanced
  • Mint and eucalyptus
  • TDL dominates

The look inside the bottle

How does Rumclub Private Selection Soul of Trinidad (14. German Rumfest) 2025 taste?

Aggregated from 39 community reviews.

Minty TDL-led Trinidad blend with Caroni funk Well-liked as a Trinidad blend — minty TDL up front, Caroni funk toward the back. The common gripe: TDL dominates, the Caroni feels thin, and the body's a bit light.

Perfect for

Trinidad fans who know TDL and Caroni

Less suitable for

Anyone wanting big, upfront Caroni or a full body

German Rum Festival 2025. Un nez fruité et floral tel qu’on l’attend d’un TDL, un petit côté pimenté et fermenté aussi. Du bois en soutient et des notes de Caroni à l’arrière-plan. De la douceur aussi, un nez tout à fait complexe. L’entrée de bouche est puissante, ample et fruitée. Puis les arômes diminuent lentement et dans l’équilibre des saveurs. Le menthol est beaucoup plus présent qu’au nez. La finale est très longue et, tout à la fin, les arômes de Caroni persistent longtemps. Un très beau rhum, même si le milieu de bouche est un peu plus faible. Un beau blend aussi même s’il n’est pas tout à fait abouti.

Messebewertung: Guter Blend, bei dem man alle Bestandteile schmeckt. Die Caroni Aromen sind vor allem in Gaumen und Abgang zu schmecken, jedoch recht flach ausgebracht. Hatte ehrlich gesagt mehr erwartet

Ein weiterer Navy Rum aus diesem Herbst… und ein sehr gelungener. In der Nase zuerst eine Ladung TDL mit Minze, der dann Caroniaromen folgen. Das fängt vielversprechend an. Am Gaumen anfangs gebranntes Karamell, sowie deutlich frische Minze (TDL) und anschließend erneut Caroniaromen (dreckig/fruchtig). Im Abgang setzt sich diesesWechselspiel fort. So muss ein Navy sein 🤩 Edit: Im Navy-Tasting bestätigt er seine Punktzahl erneut

#5623 30.08.2025 Tasting at the German Rum Fest 2025. This is a great blend and I understand why it got sold out within 30 minutes. All the lovely notes of Trinidad are there, the mint, the rubber and light tar, fruits and roasted barrel notes. Price to quality is OK in my mind.

Ein kreativer Namr für einen guten Trinidad Blend. Als Soul of Trinidad würde ich diesen für mich aber nicht bezeichnen. Die Aromen, welche ich Trinidad Rum zuordne, sind definitiv rauszuschmecken/riechen.

On aeration, roasted nuts are out, mocha and chocolate, allspice, dried fruits, some dirt and tar. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is fresh with tea, minty molasses, eucalyptus, a bit grassy, fruity with tropical and citrus fruits, industrial, a bit dirty with rubber and tar, the wood is roasted with nuts, butterscotch, later perhaps with caramel, fudge, confectionery, slightly smoky and spicy. 8,6:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, industrial with rubber, tar, slightly dirty, the oak is strong with cardboard, a bit roasted, smoky with dark chocolate, confectionery, spicy with allspice and the fruits are tropical, citrus, the molasses minty..

Abgefahrener Trinidad Blend! Caroni ist klar erkennbar mit Gummi und Tropfenfrucht, sowie Rauch., TDL 2003/2002 bringt viel Minze und Limette und Menthol mit etwas Bitterorange, Grapefruit. Ten cane dann minimal im Abgang mit Tanninen, roten Beerenfrüchten, Mineralität und etwas dunkler Schokolade und Pappkarton im positiven. Sehr gelungener Blend der sich innerhalb von 15 Minuten stark entwickelt!

Braucht anfangs ein wenig im Glas, aber dann kommen die Aromen wunderbar durch. Dunkle Früchte geparrt mit Minze. Tdl ist im Vordergrund, der Caroni schmiegt sich samt ein und es ergibt eine Balance. Ich Finde den Blend schon sehr gelungen.
