T.D.L Flensburg Rum Company Trinidad 2009
Give it a good 20 minutes in the glass first — it comes out hot and thin, then settles into wood, mint, roasted notes, tobacco and a bit of dried fruit. This 2009 T.D.L. from a pot still at 62.4% is a classic Trinidad profile several tasters call easygoing but a touch plain. Wood and spice run the long finish.

How does T.D.L Flensburg Rum Company Trinidad 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Woody, minty Trinidad — decent but a bit plain Most see a decent, drinkable T.D.L. that leans mild and a bit one-note. The recurring gripe: too alcoholic up front, notes a little thin, not much complexity for the age.

Flensburg Rum Company Awakening Series - Trinidad Ein sehr süffiger TDL, mit den typischen Noten von Minze, Johannisbeere, Eukalyptus und Kräutern. Sehr süß, sanft, röstig, ein guter TDL für Einsteiger.

#5854 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. A pretty decent TDL in my mind, but it could perhaps have improved from a higher ABV. I do know that they're trying to match a medium segment, but still only a limited release. Wood and ABV pretty good in balance. Fruits mix well with mint, floral and spice notes.
Review by Jakob
Blend of Spanish and British style of the TDLs – on one hand heavy sweetness and fruits, on the other hand subtle notes of fresh mint and dark spices. In the overall profile, the individual aromas could be a bit more pronounced, and the structure could be more refined. Still, the spirit remains approachable and appealing, a good release.

Eine weitere Abfüllung aus der stark limitierten Serie von FRC. Meines Erachtens sehr solide, aber etwas, was nicht unbedingt in Erinnerung bleibt. Braucht schon eine Weile im Glas, da er Anfangs alkoholisch ist.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
This was quite thin on on the nose, but 20 minutes in the glass did help to open up this rum. On the nose: Still quite mild. Roasted, woody and leather notes are mixed with herbal/minty notes. Taste: Alcoholic at first. Woody, roasted notes with minty notes. Tobacco notes. Then you get some coffee notes with some vanilla. Finish: Woody, minty/herbal and smoky notes. Its decent, but too alcoholic and too thin/weak notes sets the score where it is right now. This rum lacks of complexity and richness of the notes.
Review by Chrischi78
Der bringt wirklich wenig mit. Sehr oberflächlich dünn und langweilig. Da gibt es sehr viel besseres in diesem Jahrgangs- und Preissegment. Dieser gehört auf jeden Fall zu den schwächsten Releases auf der Whisky Live in HH
Review by Michael Schou
17-10-2025 - Rate 8.4 29-12-2025 - Rate 8.1 A good rum. Not as good as COR Up Spirits #3. Same year and age but the COR has double amount of tropical aging. Nose of mind, wood, spice and fruits. Palate of mint, wood, dried fruits and tobacco. Long finish dominated by wood and spices.
Review by Jacques etdom
Nez tres alcooleux d abord, puis vanille et quelques épices. La bouche confirme un rhum tres leger, aucune complexité, aucune profondeur. De loin, le moins bon 2009 que j ai goûté. Cela ne vaut pas du tout son prix.
Review by Michal Jurka
Taste is too much minty and alcoholic.
