How does this rum taste?

  • Intriguing cocoa and vanilla aroma
  • Unique cask strength profile
  • Exclusive limited edition release

The Belize 15 is a premium aged rum from the Travellers distillery, selected by The Duchess and bottled at cask strength with an impressive 63.7% ABV. It offers a unique aroma of cocoa, vanilla, and creme brulee with woody undertones. On the palate, it presents a robust profile marked by roasted woody notes, vanilla, and dark chocolate, though the high alcohol content may seem pronounced to some. With only 232 bottles available, this rum promises exclusivity for collectors. While praised for its intriguing nose, some find the taste less harmonized compared to its aromatic complexity. This limited edition from Belize is a fascinating choice for those seeking bold, cask-strength experiences.

"Die Belize-Rum sind für mich immer wie eine Wundertüte…man weiß nie genau was man bekommt! In diesem Falle nichts Besonderes. Ist die Nase noch angenehm voller Kokosnuss, Creme Brulee und Vanille, verliert er am Gaumen völlig. Der Alkohol überstrahlt fast alle Aromen…auch nach einer längeren Verweildauer passiert nicht wirklich etwas. Maximal Holz, Piment und etwas zu lang gezogener Schwarztee sind erkennbar, der Abgang ist relativ kurz und genauso unspektakulär"

"02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 6 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh light wood, fruits, light orange, light nutts, faint varnish, light sugarcane. Palate Round, balanced, light varnish, light wood, faint smoke, sugarcane, light coconut. Finish Medium long, fresh, light wood, sugarcane, faint citrus. Extra note. Needs time to release all its flavours."

"Like many Belize rums, this one can only scratch the 8. Cocoa, vanilla, wood with caramelized cream are there. But as is often the case, it lacks a certain creaminess. Good, but nothing more."

"Fruity and balanced nose, that evolves into a rather pungent and alcohol taste. Not well integrated and a bit disappointing because of the difference in nose and tongue. Finish rather ahort and not well integrated alcohol."
