Blackadder T.D.L Findest Trinidad Rum (Celebrating 30 Years Of Blackadder) 2009
Give it time in the glass — nearly every taster says the same, and it's the whole trick with this one. Out of a fresh pour it's closed and hot at 64.2%; rest it and the classic TDL menthol, thyme and peach come through, with cask oak, toffee and orange peel behind. One taster caught a metallic, clingwrap edge too. Rewards patience and a drop of water.

How does Blackadder T.D.L Findest Trinidad Rum (Celebrating 30 Years Of Blackadder) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Minty TDL cask-strength that needs air and water Well-liked but not loved — several find it flat and a touch out of balance despite the strength. Give it air and water and it turns fruity and cooling.

Review by Chrischi78
Dieser Rum braucht ein bisschen Zeit im Glas. Am Gaumen dann die typischen TDL Noten nachHolz und Minte aber auch eine ordentliche Toffeenote. Der Alkohol ist ordentlich eingebunden, mit einer zu erwartenden Schärfe. Lasst dem Jungen unbedingt Zeit im Glas und er wird immer besser!
Review by Dr.Django
Ein typischer T.D.L 2009er Jahrgang, der seinen Brüdern, trotz guter Qualität, das Wasser bei Weitem nicht reichen kann (z. B. Roots, TWJ oder auch CoR). Karamelisierte gelbe Früchte, Äpfel vom Weihnachtsmarkt in Zuckerguss und natürlich die typische T.D.L Minze. Der Alkohol ist mittelmäßig eingebunden. Irgendwie sind die Aromen am Gaumen sehr subtil, als würden sie auf den richtigen Moment lauern, der dann letzenendlich nicht kommt. Danke für das Sample @Saibot
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at SITS ‘25. The aroma is a straight ambush of menthol, thyme and everything fresh and cool in existence, chased by heavy cask notes, bresilliene nuts and orange skin gratings. There’s an interesting cameo of a clingwrap note as well as an ever so slight metallic taste, hate it or love it. In the mouth: peaches. Then spearmint and a hint of apple slices. Then barrel. Lots of barrel, with oak, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger tea. The experience is quite peppery and it stings the tongue quite a bit to the point of becoming spicy. The latter is not my favourite note, but playful and exciting here. The finish is long and cooling, with more spearmint, menthol, ginger tea and canned peach juice sweetness. A great bottling with certain (im)perfections and a not so great UVP.

Blackadder TDL 2009 – 64,2 % Un embouteillage célébrant les 30 ans de la maison. Arômes typiques de TDL, avec une attaque en bouche assez agressive. Une fois apprivoisé, il dévoile un joli profil fruité, notamment la pêche, et une finale longue sur le menthol. Quelques imperfections sont présentes, mais dans l’ensemble, c’est très réussi.
Review by Stijn Zino
SITS 2025 Very closed and out of balance, very alcoholic. Needs to rest to open, but still not alot of flavours. Didn't try it with water though.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/11/2025: tasted @ Spirits In The Sky 2025. Freshly opened bottle and the first dram of the day. In the beginning it was rather alcoholic and closed. It needs time in the glass to open up. After some time some classic TDL notes start apppearing but I'm not really convinced. Glad I didn't buy a full bottle blindly.
