Dràm Mòr T.D.L Single Cask Rum 2009  13 Year

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1194; Rum #508

Here we have a single cask of rum bottled by Dram Mor, a UK based independent bottler. This rum was distilled from molasses on a column still, aged for 13 years in a mix of tropical and continental ageing, and bottled with no additives.

Distillery: Trinidad Distillers Limited

Bottler: Dram Mor

Region: Trinidad

Still: Column

Cask: Ex-Bourbon

ABV: 58%

Nose: Raspberry, Star Anise, Spearmint, Vanilla

Palate:  Medium mouthfeel, Raspberry, Star Anise, Vanilla, Black pepper, blackberry

Finish: Medium length finish, Star Anise, vanilla, Raspberry, Mint

Conclusion: This is a great rum. It doesn’t rise to the greatness of other TDL rums, but it’s a pretty great expression with loads of that typical raspberry and star anise.

Final Score: 88

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.

  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.

  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
