“I picked up this rum inspired by the positive reviews, but was disappointed given the price (96 euros, but I would sell it no more than 40). A good Spanish rum, but just not in my league. Sweet at high proof, no surprises from the aromas other than some coconut notes and a distant back taste of barrel. The alcohol is not well integrated.”

“The next really delicious top rum. Here too, the nose and palate have an absolutely light chocolate and vanilla aroma and flavor. The alcohol is again barely noticeable. An absolutely recommendable rum.”

“Lovely rum and if you can get your hands on it give it a try. The nosw is fruity with wood, vanilla and nuts. There is a hint of iodine once rested. The palate is woody with fruits, vanilla, nuts and chocolate with a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium to long with wood, vanilla and raisin. Leave the empty glass for a few hours and give it another whif :-)”

“Auf den ersten Eindruck hätte niemals auf einen Travellers aus Belize getippt. Weniger süß und fruchtig als meine bisherigen Verkostungen. Trotzdem sehr interessant und intensiv. Röstige Aromen und leicht hölzerner langer Abgang.”

“Typischer Travellers, allerdings auch ein sehr guter Travellers. Vor allem überzeugt mich der röstige Geschmack, gepaart mit einer dezenten Süße sowie viel Holz. Die Holznote ist im Abgang sogar noch präsenter, welche sehr gut zu der leckeren Kaffee- und Schokonoten passen.”

“Quite bity. Roasted almonds, coconut, some raisins, a bit earthy on the nose. Not overly complex but dense. Thanks RumTata for sharing a sample.”

“Premier nez sur le solvant (résultant des vapeurs d'alcool). Puis s'enchaîne des senteurs de coco fraîchement râpée de sa noix, de la vanille, des oléagineux grillés (noix, cajou) et toujours un alcool vif, presque citronné sur le Paic citron. En le laissant tourné dans le verre, je sent une tranche d'ananas fraîchement flambée dans son sucre. Peut-être quelques fruits à chair blanche sur la mirabelle ou la prune blanche. Presque floral finalement. En y revenant après la bouche, je trouve même une amertume sur le cacao 100%. C'est un nez complet, qui se veut vif, frais & fruité et qui ne fait jamais défaut. J'aime. 88/100 Une bouche vive, très vive, avec un alcool bien moins intégré qu'au nez, dommage. Après, 61.8%, il faut les dompter. Des épices, beaucoup d'épices (piment, poivre rouge) des fruits sur l'amertume, puis une astringence pas très agréable. De la citronnelle passe par là, ainsi qu'une pointe de gingembre. La bouche reste trop alcooleuse à mon goût (petite réduction à tester). 79/100 Finale qui tapisse bien les parois. Des fruits frais et acidulés (ananas vert, citron jaune, kumkat) sur la confiserie têtes brûlées. Beaucoup d'épices. Un léger boisé très agréable fait son apparition, même s'il arrive un peu en retard. Le verre vide fait découvrir une odeur caractéristique de tressage comme ceux d'un vieux chapeau de paille qui aurait pris la poussière dans un coin d'une armoire en bois. 82/100”

“The nose is very closed and not so much happens on the palate. Overall, very close to the Foursquare profile, but for my sensation in slimmed down form. Alcohol not perfectly integrated.”

“Un nez typique Belize, solvants, vanille, caramel et coco. En bouche, les memes marqueurs avec un côté boisé et un cacao amer. L alcool pourrait etre mieux intégré, d ailleurs son seul point faible. Longueur correcte. Un bon Belize, mais pas le meilleur, aurait peut etre mérité3 a 4 ans de fut supplementaires. Rapport qualité prix bon. En conclusion, un bon représentant classique du Belize.”
