Valinch & Mallet Travellers The Spirit of Art 2006
Highly praised as a well-made, coconut‑vanilla Belize sipper with very good alcohol integration and gentle chocolate-caramel sweetness. A relaxed, enjoyable single cask that many reach for as a no‑stress pour.
Those who like easygoing, dessert‑leaning rums at higher ABV—fans of Doorly’s- or bourbon‑style profiles wanting a comfy cask‑strength Belize without funk or aggression.

Nose is very round but slightly too shy. Palate is more funky but still very sugary and round with a lot of coconut, vanilla and pastries. A nice daily sipper 😋 Good job Valinch & Mallet for this release 👊
It's well-made, with well-integrated alcohol and good length, it's greedy and rather pleasant to drink. After all, I can't compare it with any other rum from this distillery, as it's my first. I like it a lot all the same 😉
The nose is very closed at first and becomes more intense with time. Quite reserved and unspectacular on the palate. Definitely similar to FS, but less intense.
Classic Belize: Pronounced pleasing and quaffable, but the rum is somewhat lacking in aromatic complexity. In addition to the sweetness of vanilla, toffee, chocolate still get a few hints of cappuccino and peanuts and leicjte spiciness in the taste spectrum. Very good alcohol integration.
