How does this rum taste?
The "The Spirit of Art" rum is a limited release from Belize, crafted at the Travellers distillery and selected by Valinch & Mallet. Distilled in 2006 and aged for 16 years, this rum is made from molasses using a column still and bottled at cask strength of 56.3% ABV. Users praise its well-rounded vanilla and coconut notes with subtle woody and nutty undertones. While the nose can initially be closed, with time the aroma unfolds to reveal layers of caramel and cappuccino. Opinions vary on the alcohol integration, but the lingering finish and rich flavors make it a sought-after choice for enthusiasts.

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.
