    Iโ€™ve tried a few from Travellers distillery, this was my favourite in comparison to kill devil and cadenhesds. More depth of flavour and a good abv.

    My first Travellers rum. This is sensational rum. Both rounded and complex. It delivers the alcohol with an incredibly wide and complex palate, yet retains an unctuous roundness that makes it so easy to sip. The nose is pungent, it will take a while to descern everything that is going on, yet it's not necessarily funky. On the palate it delivers unlike anything I've ever had. It's so smooth and unctuous, despite it's incredibly complex palate. The alignment of medicinal herbaceous notes to the dark red fruit overtones, cola, the burnt caramel, the liquorice, the coffee, the maple syrup is something else. As it stands, this is currently the best rum in my collection. It delivers so so much. In terms of everything you probably want in a rum, this rum probably had it. Wow.
