"Un rhum extrêmement gourmand, pâtissier et vanillé. La puissance est maîtrisée et l'alcool bien intégré. C'est très plaisant. Les epices et la puissance contrebalancent la gourmandise, permettant d'éviter l'écœurement. Très belle cohérence entre le nez et la bouche. Honnêtement, c'est une bonne surprise."

"Fazit vorweg: Ein richtig guter Travellers! An der Nase Kokosnuss, Praline, Orangenbonbon, Holzfass. Am Gaumen sehr weich (trotz des hohen ABV) mit Muskatnuss, Milchschokolade, Grapefruit."

"Très déçu. Je n’ai pas trouvé l’alcool bien intégré, il frappe fort sur la langue et il ne se passe pas grand chose d’autre. Un beau nez cependant, mais très très déçu du palais."

"Dégustation comparative de Belize Profil fruité et pâtissiers. Garde une certaine fraîcheur (agrumes) avec un boisé pas trop présent. Même si l'alcool est bien intégré, cela reste fort (+60°)."
