Based in Port-of-Spain, TDL cultivates its own yeast strain that adds individuality to its sugarcane molasses fermentation. The fermentation process lasts around 48 hours and is left to rest for several more days to enhance flavor development before distillation. This vintage was initially aged in Trinidad using heavily charred first-fill Bourbon casks and rum barrels formerly used in our European winery, giving it a rich dark color.
Nose: Licorice, orange zest, coconut, papaya, eucalyptus and a touch of mint, a hint of sweet-and-sour balsamic reduction, black tea and Christmas spices.
Taste: Oily notes of eucalyptus, mint, yellow citrus notes, bitterness of licorice and balsamic vinegar.
Finish: Long with notes of mocha and orange dark chocolate.
Nose: Slightly spicy oak with hints of vanilla, leather and cedarwood.
Taste: Banana, tropical fruit, a little honey and candied orange.
