T.D.L Planteray Prestige Cellar (LMDW) 2000
Most tasters land around "very well made" without quite falling for it. It's a classic Trinidad TDL profile: menthol and eucalyptus, mango and banana, cedar and oak, with a little smoke and chocolate underneath. The cognac finish rounds it out nicely. The recurring gripe is a short finish and less depth than earlier TDL 2000 releases at the same age.

How does T.D.L Planteray Prestige Cellar (LMDW) 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 25 community reviews.
Minty, fruity 25-year Trinidad, short finish Genuinely good, balanced 25-year TDL — minty, fruity, woody, with well-integrated alcohol. Most agree the finish runs short and it lacks the complexity of the best 2000 vintages.

Whisky Live Paris 2025. Un beau nez, délicieusement fruité, avec des fruits sucrés comme de la mangue et un côté pimenté/piquant qui s’accorde bien avec le bois de cèdre. Un petit menthol rafraîchissant et un léger végétal complètent le tableau. Les fruits dominent en bouche, fruits tropicaux, mangue, fruits jaunes et même quelques fruits secs (abricot, pruneau). Le bois est discret et le pruneau est plus marqué en finale. On y découvre aussi des agrumes. Quel beau rhum ! Mais il a besoin de beaucoup d’aération et de temps de repos dans le verre.

Ich hätte mir mehr erwartet. Er hat eine schöne Süße, die Minze ist sehr diskret, aber gleichzeitig fehlt etwas. Abgang sehr kurz, schnell weg.

#5726 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty well made TDL with nice minty notes and well balanced ABV and wood. Among the fruits I can pick up is light banana, some cherry and faint mango. There is a very faint honey note in the profile.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Dégustation WLP 2025. 👃 Caramel léger, fruits secs (cerise, cranberry), fruits tropicaux légers (banane, mangue), boisé Cognac typique Ferrand. chocolat, vanille, fraîcheur sur du thym de cuisine. Empyreumatique léger (essence, huile essentielle). 😋 Fruits en premier (banane, fruits jaunes et rouges), c'est doucement floral (miel de fleurs, pétale de rose), menthol en bouche assez léger. légère fumée empyreumatique de beurre trop cuit, léger goudron. ⛳ Saline, beurrée, fruits tropicaux, agrumes verts, fraîcheur mentholée légère, réglisse en bâtonnets. 💡 à mettre en comparaison avec les TDL 2000 de Swell de Spirits.

🥇 Coup de cœur : TDL 2000 – 56,4 % Mon favori de la triplette Prestige Cellar LMDW. Un TDL de 25 ans (16 ans tropical en ex-bourbon, puis 9 ans en France en ex-cognac) très bien réalisé, avec de belles notes mentholées et une superbe harmonie d’ensemble. Ça manque un peu de longueur et de complexité face aux gros calibres déjà sortis en TDL 2000, mais ça reste un beau moment de dégustation. À 279 cerises, on est cependant loin du rapport qualité/prix qui avait tant séduit lors du TDL 2003 Terravera ! 🍒

Sehr guter 2000er TDL
Review by Florent Apl
Tasted on the occasion of Whisky Live Paris 2025. On the nose, a typical TDL profile, menthol and eucalyptus for me, oak, caramel and tropical fruits in the back. Very flavorful on the palate, good balance between sweet and dry, eucalyptus is omnipresent, over aromas gravitate around it. You can feel the alcohol but it's not bothering. The more I get into it, the oak is coming out more and more, it's getting a bit more tannic and bitter. The finale is medium-long, oak and menthol. I can understand why it was given the current note (8.4 at the moment), considering the price point, but I think it still performs well, despite the not do long finale, the alcohol small bite, and it could be more complex on the palate.
Review by Righrum
Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm score and notes This is a nice selection, here the cognac pairs well with the usual TDL fruitiness. Maybe not the best 2000 but overall a solid release. Unfortunately the price is way is way too High.
Review by Michal Jurka
Very pleasant TDL, minty, sweet, fruity, woody. And I get a touch of technicality at the tail end of tje taste.
