"#4729 20.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few samples. Nose Wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light caramel, light chocolate, faint nutts, spice, cinnamon. Palate Round, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, spice, light nutts, faint chocolate, cinnamon, light cherry. Finish Medium long, round, wood, light pineapple, faint cherry, light chocolate. The empty glass has some light maple notes as well as some light burnt notes."

"Quite an alcoholic nose and rather wild Belize rum on the palate. I don't really like the gin associations. The finish, on the other hand, is pleasantly creamy with lots of coconut."

"Belize Tasting with DomM Unfortunately not my cup of tea either, also too alcoholic and sharp-edged. A few were tested that evening, see picture, but unfortunately none of them really convinced me. Doesn't seem to be my profile."

"This one from RA took the 2nd place in my Belize tasting. From the start to end a really good Rum and with all the typical Belize notes. The really interesting thing of this one are the floral, juniper notes which I found on the palate. The finish is medium long and typical Belize 😏"

"Ein bisschen scharfkantig aber dennoch ein ordentlicher Rum für Belize Liebhaber wie mich. Mir schmeckt der etwas besser als dem Rest hier 😀 Der Abgang ist schön lang und etwas bitter aber noch im Rahmen."

"Der Rum ist zurückhaltend an der Nase und liegt schwer Richtung Holz, Erde und Kräuter. Dazu gibt es vor allem Zitrusfrüchte. Die typischen Belizearomen findet man zwar auch, aber insgesamt wirkt das alles etwas unausgewogen."

"Auf der Aquavitae 2023 noch für sehr gut befunden und gekauft. Spätere Verkostungen konnten den ersten guten Eindruck nicht bestätigen. Solider Belize aber bedauerlicherweise kommt er an meine persönliche Benchmark in Sachen Rum aus Belize, den Rum Artesanal von 2021, nicht ansatzweise heran."

"Very much column style, rather little flavor, not much coconut, for me an almost unpleasant gin note. Alcohol could be better integrated. I would have expected more."

"Great nose! Has something of bergamot and sandalwood, almost perfumed... The taste is also slightly perfumed but then again the rather typical, somewhat one-dimensional note of milk chocolate, coconut and intense woody tannins as well as creme brulee. Not 100% my cup of tea, but overall an absolutely stable, delicious Belize single cask with a really good PLV. There are just a lot of them on the market already... Would be interesting to do a 2006 Vintage cross tasting round here!"

"Tasted rum at the Aquavitae and bought to share. Since the conversation at the stand was more about Hampden and other things, there was finally room for the rum. Once again a Travellers from Belize. The nose is beautifully fruity with citrus fruit and a little pineapple, coconut aromas come in after a short time and take over, but leave enough space. Fruity and spicy on the palate, a little peach can be tasted but not too sweet. The whole thing is not overly complex, but that's not to be expected from the column style distillation here. In my opinion, the abv is a good 60%, which makes the rum much smoother. Finishes dry with an elegant sweetness. A beautiful Belize."

"Certainly not an exceptional Belize, but still very okay for the RRP. Rather on the alcoholic column side with a few disturbing off-notes (juniper) in the coconut-chocolate profile."

"Sehr floral/blumig, sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen. Könnte auch ein gereifter Gin sein. Nicht so mein Fall."
