Romdeluxe T.D.L Wild Series Rum Trinidad No. 14 2009
Owners keep rating this one high, and the mint is why. That unmistakable TDL menthol-eucalyptus streak runs through it, wrapped in wood, tannins, dark fruit and a "schön dreckig" edge that keeps things interesting. It needs air — several members say it stays half-closed on the nose and rewards a long time in the glass. Bold and complex, best sipped slowly.
The community says- Signature TDL mint
- Complex and layered
- But: Closed-up nose

Today there is a fine T.D.L Battle at a high level. CDI 2003, 19yo bottles for 1802: Very refreshing, with lots of mint, eucalyptus, light fruits. Grapes and a fresh woody bitter note. Nice long and warm finish. Second tasting: -1 point Romdeluxe 2009: This is completely different. Much darker fruit, much more roasted aromas, but less mint. Creamy in the mouth with candied fruit. Great rum. +1 point

Beautiful matte for a bottle under 100e. Although alcohol can be felt, but very drinkable. I recommend it even to beginners for discovering new flavours. Mata from TDL is an unmistakable taste that you will never get tired of.
Review by DomM
Nose: intense with herbs and smokey notes. Rather closed-up on the first go. Palate: Very intense with herbs, wood and some dirty notes. Not quite on par with the early 2000s, but very nice profile nonetheless.
Review by RumTaTa
Fourth tasting in direct comparison with RA 2002 and RDL Wild Series No42: the other two are clearly more intense, therefore downgraded to 86 Third tasting from the almost empty bottle: intense cassis notes even stronger than in the Private Garden No 1 (RX13297). I stand by my high rating, this rum is a stunner! Second tasting: incredible similarity to the RA Trinidad 2002! The nose is very similar to Foursquare with vanilla and candied fruits and additional notes such as licorice, mint and very distant flowers and iodine. In the mouth, the caramel tones predominate at first with an intense sweetness, but these are quickly overlaid by wood and tannins. The rum is very complex and "fat" and also offers a slightly "dirty" side. In the finish, the flavors come together again and form a beautiful interplay The barrel influences, sweetness and the "dirty" notes are dominant.
Review by SaibotZtar
On the nose I have vanilla, dried fruit blackberry and chocolate...some mint. On the palate blackberries and chocolate... spicy and some herbs come through... Alcohol could be a little better integrated. Quite ok, but doesn't knock me off my feet. Edit: after 45min in the glass it gets much better...😀

Favorit in ubserem T.D.L-Lineup. Toller Rum!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Stable TDL with an unusual salty cocoa, coffee note and lots of tannins but also slightly gin-like juniper and allspice and mint notes. Alcohol top integrated!
Review by Alexander Rasch
Oh well... this is probably the best 2009 TDL I've tasted so far. Very cool stuff. Fresh cherry with menthol and mint. There's a lot going on. A nice dirty touch. Great complexity on the palate with lots of mint, tobacco and cherry. Really nice and woody on the finish. Great piece.
Review by Johannes
Interesting tdl! Light menthol note!
Review by Buddudharma
Schöner TDL im Stile der frühen 2000er. Minznote vorhanden, aber nicht zu ausgeprägt.
Review by Mentalo
Komplexe Abfüllung, welche viele Zeit im Glas braucht und sich dann trotzdem nicht komplett öffnet. Aber nen schönes, leicht cremiges Mundgefühl. Kräuter, Karamell, Holz, Salz, medizischine Noten und etwas beerig.
