CDI T.D.L Rum Club Switzerland No.3 Trinidad (Ex-Rivesaltes) 2011
The Rivesaltes wine cask is the whole story here — overripe grapes, plum, date and a sweet-wine note that surprises people expecting a straight Trinidad. Underneath, the TDL comes through with cocoa, pepper and a licorice finish, plus a recurring hint of mint tea. At cask strength it's complex and fruit-forward. A few tasters loved the duel between cask and distillate; one felt the wine buried the TDL.
The community says- Grape-plum fruit
- Complex TDL layers

Schöner, süffiger, fast zu süßer Foursquare mit toller Kirsch-Note. What, das ist ein TDL!? 😳 Na, das merkt man aber erst ganz zum Schluss. Und auch nur ein klein wenig. Wo ist die typische Minze?

Solid bottling! A rounded and complex TDL, but it doesn't quite grab me. On the nose, lots of chocolate, which carries through the palate and finish and is a bit too dominant for me. Along with that, some wood, spice, and an absolutely minimal hint of mint. Otherwise nicely balanced, and the alcohol fits harmoniously into the overall picture.
Review by Skyfly
A flavor profile I've never had in 1000 tastings. The combination of TDL and ex-Rivesaltes cask is very exciting and delivers a complex fruit aroma profile. Unfortunately, I get the impression that the cask influence is too intense, as other aromas are only faintly expressed. Still, a good rum.

#7233 29.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. A very good TDL with an attractive price tag in my mind. Quick notes while tasting. Fruity, mint, woody, spice, tobacco, sweet, dry, honey, herbs, light medicinal.
Review by zabo
First of all, thanks to Sven from the Spiritmuseum in Switzerland. Thanks for sending me a bottle and to Jakob for the delivery. Tried it together with the Franconian Tasting Gang. I'm still a bit torn about how to classify this one. Will taste it again in peace.
Review by rbfsnow
Nose : Overripe Grapes, Dried Fruits, Plum, Date, Apricot, Guava, Sherry/Sulfur/Sweet Wine and Mint Tea. Taste : Sherry/Sweet Wine, Kumquat, Guava 😋, Plum, Apricot, Date, Licorice and Mint Tea. The aftertaste Sherry/Mint Tea/Guava stays a long in the mouth 😋
Review by Martin Spooner
The nose is relatively fruity. Relatively little funk... However, promisingly sweet... plum, overripe grape. On the palate then relatively well-formed. Not too hard a punch but still with character. Very tasty.
Review by Jakob
Der Einsatz eines Rivesaltes-Fass in der Rum-Reifung ist ungewöhnlich- und es bringt tatsächlich neue geschmackliche Nuancen ein. Die TDL-Süsse mit Karamell, tropischen Früchten und Minze bekommt eine aromatische Anreicherung mit Aprikose, Mirabelle, Pfirsich und getrockneten gelben Früchten sowie dezenten Zitruszesten. Chapeau an den Rum Club Schweiz - stimmige Auswahl.
Review by Johannes
Nase ist etwas flach. Am Gaumen Mir ein bisschen zu viel Column. Aber schöne schokoladige, auch leicht minzige Noten.
Review by DER Prinzessin
Unfortunately, I have to say that the TDL notes are missing here, the wine dominates a lot and that makes the TDL not very appealing for ME!
Review by Denis
Nose: Intense and expressive. Dried fruits, brown sugar and guava form the aromatic base. Behind them are fine woody notes and a pleasant freshness with a light hint of mint. Palate: Complex and well balanced. It starts with a touch of pepper, followed by well-integrated oak notes and a pleasant sweetness that gives the rum structure. Cocoa and dark berries add extra depth and complexity. Finish: Long and lingering. The subtle sweetness carries through to the end and turns into spicy notes of liquorice and liquorice root, which stay present for a long time. Conclusion: A multi-layered Trinidad rum with a nice balance of fruit, wood, cocoa and spicy notes. The gentle mint character on the nose, together with liquorice and liquorice root in the long finish, gives it a distinctive profile.
Review by David Riek
3. Abfüllung des Rum Club Switzerland in Zusammenarbeit mit Charles Hofer. Ein sehr gelungener TDL. In der Nase riecht man das Rivesaltes-Barrel, der Geschmack liefert sich ein Duell mit dem typischen Trinidadgeschmack, sehr spannend und komplex. Am Gaumen kommt zuerst der TDL, dann das Fass, bevor dann die Fruchtigkeit zum Zuge kommt. Super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
