    #4728 18.05.2024 Sitting at home enjoying a few samples. Nose Wood, light roasted, light coconut, light chocolate, light citrus, dried fruit. Palate Oily, round, wood, faint smoke, fruits, light citrus, faint chocolate, spice, medium dry, light coconut. Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, light chocolate, dried fruit, spice. The empty glass has very light vegetal, light floral and faint caramel notes.

    Solid Belize representative. The profile is carried by the ex-bourbon barrel notes, fresh vanilla and some roasted aromas. There are also sweet citrus notes and spices. Solid Belize representative.

    Relativ viele holzige Einflüsse mit Gewürz, Kokosnuss, Zitrus, Vanille und dunkler Schokolade. Am Gaumen im ersten Moment etwas biestig, was jedoch schnell verfliegt. Der Abgang ist mild, rund und lang.

    Au nez, de la coco, de la vanille , quelques agrumes. Le caramel arrive en arrière plan. La bouche confirme le nez. Étonnement le caramel ou sucre cassonade est bien moins présent que sur les travellers habituels. Une sensation de légèreté presque. Une belle finale (pour un travellers). Suis surpris par la qualité et la différence de ce fut. Pour moi, le meilleur 2006 que j ai goûté (habituellement un millesime un peu en dessous chez travellers).
