How does this rum taste?
S.B.S Belize 2011, distilled at Travellers and aged 12 years, greets the nose with gentle vanilla, caramel, woody, and coffee undertones—'a fresh, light wood and vanilla' experience, as one RumX member puts it. On the palate, expect a rounded mix where caramel and subtle fruit meet light orange peel and warming spice. While some users note it's 'a decent, reliable rum,' others sought more complexity. Its clean, easy-drinking profile is for those who crave a smooth, softly spiced Belizean rum. Explore or pick up a bottle through RumX, the community’s trusted home for fine spirits.

I don't know, but somehow Belize's profile doesn't really appeal to me. With this one, I think you forget as soon as you've swallowed it that it's very fleeting. Nothing I need right now
#5262 19.04.2025 Enjoying some samples while watching the TV series Grimm. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint roasted, vanilla, light earthy, light orange, faint caramel,. Palate Light oily, faint tobacco, light wood, light orange, light caramel, spice, faint coconut, faint chocolate. Finish Medium to long,, fresh, light oily, light wood, faint roasted, light chocolate, light dried fruit. Empty glass Vanilla, chocolate, light caramel, faint orange.
Alcohol well integrated, nice and round overall, but lacking in complexity. Rather short finish.
Grundsätzlich gefallen mir Cognac-Finishes gut - ich verbinde damit präsente Fruchtnoten, die im Gegensatz zu Süsswein deutlich pointierter ins Aromenspektrum des Ausgangsprodukts eingebunden sind. Gerade bei den Profilen am Übergang von spanischem zu englischem Rumstil ist das oftmals ein sehr gelungenes Zusammenspiel. Leider funktioniert dieses Erfolgsrezept im vorliegenden Falle aber nur teilweise - sowohl bei der Aromatik des Rums als auch bei der Einbettung der Cognac-Noten fehlt es mir etwas an Filigranität. Aus der quer verkosteten Reihe an SBS-Releases ist diese Abfüllung deshalb für mich die schwächste, auch wenn wir uns definitiv noch auf gutem Niveau bewegen.
