    Debut of Wolfgang Klotz as an independent bottler. A typical Belize? It arrives with a lot of steam, at least on the nose, and needs time to catch its breath. At first, it is strongly reminiscent of the almost classic FRC from 2006, with typical coconut, vanilla and oak, plus more and more sweet fruit notes. Surprisingly sweet on the palate, the brute strength is definitely there but is well balanced by the sweetness and makes this rum extremely drinkable.

    Der 2008er Jahrgang von Travellers ist bislang stark. Wie die Abfüllung vom Rumclub eine tolle Abfüllung. Im direkten Vergleich war der RC vielleicht minimal besser ausbalanciert. Aber für mich sind da keine großen Unterschiede. Außer im Preis. Da gewinnt halt der RC im direkten Vergleich halt bei ansonsten ähnlicher Qualität.

    Erinnert mich direkt an den Rumclub Belize aus dem selben Jahr. Auch hier an der Nase direkt jede Menge Gewürze, besonders Backgewürze. Etwas Wein, Pflaume, Zartbitterschokolade, leicht künstlich wirkend, etwas Kokosnuss, relativ süß. Am Gaumen ist vieles wiederzufinden was die Nase angekündigt hat. ABV empfinde ich als gut eingebunden. Für mich ein sehr guter Belize. Ein direkter Vergleich mit dem Rumclub muss nochmal her :)

    Schöne Nase. Man erahnt schon kernigkeit. Geschmacklich wirklich lecker. Definitiv ein Rum mit Kanten ohne aber zu überfordern. Bleibt auch schön lange stehen. Tolle Arbeit!
