Travellers Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 41

Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, Day 7. A pastry nose with coconut, lots of sweetness, brown sugar, yellow fruit, vanilla and cedar wood. Sweetness on the palate too, with more pronounced and bitter wood, beautiful fruit and a little acidity that gives a pleasant freshness. The finish is rather short, although the woody bitterness lingers for quite a long time.

Belize Tasting with DomM The last in the series, the alcohol is not well integrated in this one either. The more I was surprised by Fiji tonight, the more disappointing Belize is. Sorry, I definitely don't have to have any more.

What a beautiful Belize rum! Very powerful, intense, lovely nose with grated coconut, vanilla and dried fruit. Reminds me very much of a good Foursquare rum. Convincing on the palate again: I find all the aromas of the nose again. The alcohol makes quite a lot of steam. Better with water! The aftertaste tends to be slightly toasty. I can say without thinking twice: this is the best Belize I've had in my glass so far. I particularly recommend this rum to those who have previously enjoyed Spanish-style rums and generally as an introduction to rums at cask strength and for experimenting with the addition of water. The price-performance ratio is hard to beat!

Belize and I just don't become friends.

#4768 09.07.2024 Relaxing with a few samples at home. Nose Fresh, light wood, dried fruit, faint coffee, faint marzipan, light chocolate. Palate Oily, complex, balanced, wood, light roasted, light coffee, light chocolate, naturally sweet, faint coconut, light caramel. Finish Medium to long, balanced, naturally sweet, oily, light chocolate, faint coconut, dried fruit. The empty glass has vanilla, light nutts and light peach to it.

Nose is dominated by alcohol. Nice intensity and more complexity vs. some of the other Belize in our cross-tasting on the palate. alcohol integration isn‘t very good, however. Finish is long and intense adding some complexity.

Auf diesen Rum wurde ich durch die guten Bewertungen scharf gemacht. In der Tat hat dieser Belize-Rum eine traumhafte runde Nase und im Mund ist der Alkohol gut integriert. Sehr röstig, extrem viel Bitterschokolade, holzig und außerdem intensive Vanille. Leider vermisse ich etwas die Früchte, um den Rum in Richtung 9/10 zu bewerten.

8,2:On the first nose, the first impression we get is a quite rigid rum with some medicinal/roasted notes, as roasted nuts and nail polish. Alcohol is not integrated very well. The rum is dark with thick molasses, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, herbal with black tea and dry with dried fruits, some bourbon notes, spices. Aeration brings out different facet of this rum, as becomes lighter and woodier with raisins, dried apricots, candied fruits and caramelized yellow fruits. Now it is delightful, yet we get another wave of new notes when rested at least 30 minute with berries and nougat. On the last nose we get some lime peel, rubber and it becomes a bit tanninic. 8:On the palate, the first attack is heavy and rigid with buttery cocoa, vanilla and dry with dried fruits, very peppery spicy. It is very woody, there's caramel, black tea, is bitter with roasted notes. After half an hour it opens, becomes gourmet and sweet with dark chocolate, caramelized confectionery, brown sugar. We receive another wave of notes later with citruses, tannins, after quite a while, it is very velvety with chocolate fudge, nougat, licorice and brandy notes. 8:The finish is at first dry and woody, quite intense with roasted nuts and tannins, dried fruits, spicy. When the rum opens, we get a different story, as the rum is fresh, lighter with brandy, dark chocolate and honey, nougat at grand final. It fucking opens up, when well rested, 8,7 then.... 🤘Very complex...It becomes fucking wonderful after 30 min of oxidation... 🤪.

Rumclub No. 41 Belize 2008. Auch ein klasse Teil. Ist er in der süsseren Richtung einzuordnen, aber ganz human. Toleranz Nase, Vanille, Schokolade und Kaffe sind hier zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann Karamell, Schokolade und Vanille. Echt lecker.

Volle Breitseite Toffifee, geröstete Kokoschips, Mokka und dunkle Schokolade mit Fleur de sel und alles mit einem unfassbar dicken, öligen Mundgefühl bzw. Textur. Alkohol ist quasi nicht zu spüren und demnach sehr gut integriert. Wirklich guter Belize Single cask muss ich sagen, wenn auch fast schon etwas zu süß und mir persönlich etwas zu wenig Frucht und Komplexität. Aber dafür wirklich extrem süffig und gefährlich lecker. 2008 ist halt auch ein wirklich guter Jahrgang!

A great Belize. With a convincing and very warm long finish. Notes of cocoa and coconut come to mind. The taste is full-bodied dark chocolate, caramel, mocha and vanilla. A really great bottling with a very good PLV.

Heute zum Abschluss als Bottlekilldram erneut den RC#41 aus Belize. Auch nach mehrmaligen Tasting bleibt dieser Rum aus meiner Sicht ein ganz starker Vertreter seines Landes! Typische Belize Noten in der Nase und auf den Gaumen! Hier ist jeder Schluck sei Geld wert!

The best Belize I've had in a glass so far. Heavy and deep, seems older. The finish is like driving a sports car beast onto an empty highway via the acceleration lane and then just stepping on the gas - you are simply gripped and never let go. In other words: an endless and almost unbelievably gripping finish.

Uiii Kindheitserinnerung! Mein Vater brachte von seinen Londonreisen häufig die lila Quality-Street-Bonbon-Dose mit. Und das ist seeehr ähnlich: Nougat, Kokos, Toffee, Vanille. Wirklich lecker wenn man diese süssen, schweren Noten mag. Einzig der Alkohol hat eine kleine scharfe Kante. Aber insgesamt sehr gut!

Bester Travellers!?, den ich bisher im Glas hatte. Wie auch beim Ed.38 geht das Profil stark Richtung 94er NY, was mir sehr gut gefällt. Top PLV! Auch bei der 2. Verkostung aus der frisch geöffneten Flasche weiß er zu gefallen.
