Famille Ricci - Trinidad T.D.L 2003 - 66.7% 50cl
Famille Ricci Trinidad T.D.L 2003 66.7% 50cl
This exceptional Trinidad T.D.L 2003 is a decadent journey into the heart of Trinidad. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Distilled in 2003 at the prestigious Trinidad Distillers Limited and selected by the experts at Famille Ricci, this column still vintage is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!"
Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this dark fruit-driven masterpiece transforms a classic Trinidadian spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick and generous as a chocolate fondant.
A Masterclass in Refinement
Every bottle of Trinidad T.D.L 2003 embodies the art of patient aging and innovative finishing. The character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process:
-
Initial Aging: Fully matured in bourbon casks, providing a sturdy backbone of subtle vanilla, deep oak complexity, and flawless structural depth.
-
Double Finish: Extended cask maturation that allows the rich, dark berry character and the sweet oak to intertwine seamlessly into a highly concentrated profile.
-
Artisanal Reduction: Bottled at a formidable 66.7% ABV for maximum concentration and intensity—entirely unadulterated, without added sugar, and without colouring to preserve every ounce of its oily texture and aromatic density.
Tasting Experience
Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like Christmas in a glass.
-
Nose: For the fruit and sweetness lovers! You are immediately immersed in a bath of blackcurrant, cola, and subtle floral accents—thick, greasy, and flowing. It evokes the scent of a buttery chocolate fondant fresh from the oven, served alongside a dark berry reduction. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: elegant rosewood nuances. This is followed by layers of gingerbread, cinnamon, and a comforting touch of bold, expressive aromas.
-
Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "fondant" was no exaggeration; the rum literally melts on the palate with a rich, structured combination of blackcurrant and blackberry. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering notes of violet candy, oven-warm gingerbread, and a creamy tiramisu beautifully integrated with the formidable high-proof strength.
-
Finish: Long, evolving, and incredibly gourmand. The texture clings to the palate, leaving a vibrant conclusion of persimmon and fresh apple that balances the darker tones, inviting you back for another sip just for the sheer pleasure of it.
