The look inside the bottle
How does CDI T.D.L Trinidad 2003 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Fresh, minty Trinidad softie Reliable, fruity Trinidad sipper with a distinctive minty note. Community finds it pleasant and fresh, if somewhat restrained and diluted for a 15‑year single cask.
Curious explorers who enjoy lighter TDL profiles with fresh fruit, mint and gentle wood rather than heavy oak or high-ester intensity.
Those seeking cask-strength power, deep complexity or pronounced funk; drinkers who dislike minty notes in their rum.

Review by Daniel
Nose: fruit dominates, but also vanilla and wood.Palate: incredibly intense fruit aromas at the start, including peach, pear, melon. Then the spice mixes in. Wood, but also subtle notes of rubber. Finish: Even in the finish still fruity.Conclusion: Super interplay of fruit and spice. Definitely something quite different, although not super complex. Buy recommendation!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solider minzig fruchtiger TDL aber leider zu sehr verdünnt. Dennoch ein Paradebeispiel für das 2003er Vintage.
Review by Tobin
Overall somewhat disappointing, interesting only strong lychee note, definitely a unique selling point
