    The "The Spirit of Art" rum is a limited release from Belize, crafted at the Travellers distillery and selected by Valinch & Mallet.

Users praise its well-rounded vanilla and coconut notes with subtle woody and nutty undertones.

     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.

     A nice travellers but a bit overpriced compared to what you get. Warm and spicy on the palate with chocolate. The coffee notes are very subtle. Make sure to rest it for a good while to release all flavours.

     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 👊

     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.
