Rum Marques from Trinidad Distillers Limited

Rums around the world Trinidad & Tobago

Hi guys,

does any one of you have a clue where to look for a list of rum marques made at TDL? I know there is a TML, but don’t know any others. Furthermore I don’t know any specification of the marque - how long was the fermentation, what distillation, what content of volatile substances, etc.

I tried to look for a list of all marques on google, but couldn’t find anything so I thought that maybe some of you could have more info…

Thanks for your answers! :slight_smile:

I found the following marks in a quick search online:

TMAH - Column Still
TMAL - Column Still, Melasses
TML - Melasses

So far, I have little to no clue what the marks refer to.

However, most TDL bottlings seem to come without marks.

I think these are all marks from Main Rum Company.
TMAH= Trinidad Main Angostura Heavy
TMAL= Trinidad Main Angostura Light
TML= Trinidad Main Light

I agree with you. I assume they are Main Rum Company Marks as well

But if those Marks actually mean a thing: I doubt it. The very heavy 2001 TDL are marked as TML (see Transcontinental Rum Line TDL 2001). They are no way a light rum. And then there are thoses vintages which are TML as well and super soft and caramelly.

Additionally, there are the Fernandes Marks

FPH = Forres Park Heavy

But again the Fernandes Bottlings differ a lot by taste. The mark style is nowhere as consistent as it is for Hampden or DDL.
