Toasted coconut, dark chocolate and roasted nuts lead here, with brown sugar, dried apricot and a bourbon-cask sweetness underneath. Most tasters call the alcohol remarkably well-integrated for nearly 69% — it drinks below its strength — but a few drops of water genuinely help open the fruit. Classic Belize Travellers character: warm, sweet, spicy, long finish.

How does Travellers Flensburg Rum Company Selected by Jürgen Wiese BTJW 2006 taste?
Summarized by AI from 64 community reviews.
Sweet, coconut-cocoa Belize at big strength Loved by most as one of the better Belize 2006 cask-strength bottlings — coconut, cocoa and warm spice. The main catch: the heat is still big, and some miss more fruit and depth.

Roasted, caramelized pecans sprinkled with cinnamon and deglazed with bourbon, plus some sandalwood, dark chocolate, salted peanuts, the alcohol is relatively well integrated for almost 69%, but a few drops of water help a lot to open it up a bit. Aromatically it could have a bit more complexity (and especially fruit, which I miss here)... But in terms of Belize cask strength vintage 2006 definitely one of the best on the market. Jürgen Wiese really picked well! 😅

Too much alcohol
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is from bourbon cask ageing like roasted wood with nuts, caramel, brown sugar, milk chocolate and honey, spices like cinnamon and dried fruits like raisins, apricots and coconut. On aeration, molasses is minty, vanilla stronger, bananais candied.Ok, but no depth. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is similar as on the nose with bourbon notes like oily roasted, toasted wood and coconut, dried apricots, raisins, spices like vanilla, cinnamon.Some pineapple, sour cherry, citrus with orange peel and peach come out after resting, as the molasses is vegetal, floral. Well, it shows 2 faces, one with creamy wood notes like creamy toffee, caramel, as the other, fruity is a bit unpleasant with astringend and menthol notes.Alcohol could be better integrated. 8,2:The finish is long with roasted and dry wood notes, a bit spicy, tannic and tropical, dried fruits, bourbon touch is evidently quite strong. Edit:16.5.26
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I really liked this particular rum. I like the coconut and and roasted barrel mix. The warm spicy tingle in the palate was nice and the balance with chocolate and nuts was perfect.
Review by Oliver
Beautiful Belize. But a few drops of water would do it good.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Tasted together with the RA Belize 2006. I also diluted it a little, as it was quite spicy and alcoholic beforehand. Similar on the nose afterwards. Already intense, but still very soft and sweet - with beautiful ripe fruit behind the vanilla-woody impact. Too flat in the mouth for my taste: woody, roasty, spicy. The finish is woody, but pleasant and surprisingly long. The Flensburger is somewhat spicier and dirtier overall. The profile of the RA with the better balance and more facets.
Review by Christian Rudt
Auch hier erstmal viel Kokos wie wohl in allen Belize zu erkennen. Dieser hier aber im Vergleich der intensivste und heutiger Sieger. Sehr intensive Aromen. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Prima! Jetzt müsste wohl ein etwas älterer zeigen ob Belize noch mehr kann. Für mich erstmal die Referenz.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A great thing. I haven't had many Belize rums yet. I find this one very good. It is wonderfully intense and the alcohol is perfectly integrated. I will gladly try more from the distillery. Still, I notice that rum over 65% hits me too hard. If it's just 2cl tasting it still works, but usually it doesn't stay at just one drop of rum in the evening😌 I see that there are increasingly more bottlings with higher ABV, which is quite understandable given the flavor intensity. For me, however, the trade-off is too high.
Review by cigares
A warm nose, with peanuts, chocolate, apricot, coconut, pastries and a slightly dry woodiness. The palate brings the same aromas, with a darker but still tasty side. The finish is long, balanced. I find the alcohol a bit strong and I feel it masks some aromas.
Review by Tim
Initially still reserved, over time the nose opens up and then gives a harmonious column still nose. On the palate spicy, woody, toasty, coconut, bourbon, chocolate. Finish similar, coherent and balanced, but somehow a tad too warm and missing that certain something.
Review by Jakob
Top integrated alcohol, plus classic Belize aroma with nice sweetness. Nice rum that positively surprises without breaking the boundaries of the known aroma spectrum from Belize.
Review by mto75
The 68.6% is excellently integrated! A mix of Foursquare and high-end Spaniard like Tres Hombres Captains Choice.
Review by MarcT
Another one from Belize, similar but also a bit different. As the other one, I gave it some water which makes the alcohol more approachable, and brings the fruit. To the nose similar, wood, Orange marmelade, some apricot My wife smelled Vanilla, but I am unable to recognize the smell (never have been, or I am just so used to it due to its presence everywhere) myself it seems. On the tongue, wood, spices, sweetness. The Alcohol is quite sharp, unfortunately which I do not like. The taste lingers very long... All in all very good, just the alcohol bitel is not to my taste.
Review by Christoph
Wood notes without much bitterness. Dark chocolate with pineapple on steroids. Plus a clear vanilla from the barrel.
Review by Chrischi78
Ahh mega complex little bastard. The alcohol is super integrated. A wonderful flavor bomb in the mouth. Coconut with wood, light spices and notes of apricot and nice sweetness. A good body says the woman tasting with me and of course she means the rum. Extra points for the fun factor!
Review by Jan Lu
Very strong Belize. Classically fruity on the nose. Due to the high ABV, there is also a very intense taste of dried fruits. Convincing all around and Travellers stays true to itself.
Review by Wernie
A great nose, totally my scent😀. Very intense on the palate, with fine spice, wood and roasted aromas, and a long intense finish. Great rum!👍🏻 And the alcohol is perfectly integrated.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Lots of chocolate and caramel in taste. Very delicious piece. Should grab it. Alcohol is very good
Review by Rare Akuma
Even before nosing and tasting I expect this to be very sweet as the legs move extremely slow to the point of simply sticking to the edge. On the nose you get toasted coconut, dried apricots, raisins and a slight touch of yellow banana. The sweetness is upfront, but it does present itself pleasantly as vanillated custard topped with torched sugar. Continued with dominant malt: roasted nuts, cappuccino and a side of milk chocolate. A hint of fresh mint at the very end. On the palate the sugars turn one-dimensional and the consistency turns oily and creamy (or even sticky) in the throat. The toasted coconut, dried fruits and malt persist, but we get some additional peppers and cinnamon. Alcohol is integrated wonderfully. It drinks well below its ABV. The finish is surprisingly short with some lingering sugars and malt.
Review by Thunderbird
An intense coconut nose with sweet spices spreads immediately! On the palate it spreads oily creamy, initially sweetish and later slightly woody and tasting of roasted almonds! The longer it lingers in the mouth, the more a gentle spiciness joins, the finish is medium long becoming bitter.
Review by RumTaTa
Ich habe den Rum nach dem ersten Versuch schrittweise auf ca. 55% verdünnt. Der Alkohol bleibt trotzdem sehr präsent und ich habe den Eindruck, das es nicht unbedingt vorteilhaft ist! Die Bitterkeit im Abgang ist deutlich geringer ohne Wasser! Aber der Reihe nach: Die Nase ist sehr angenehm und rund. Ich habe starke Assoziationen zu Bourbon und Vanille. Im Mund ist zunächst der Alkohol da, dann wieder Bourbon, Vanille, die schnell wechseln zu Schokolade, Kakao und dem Fasseinfluss. Der Abgang wird vom Fass und bitteren Noten dominiert und ist sehr lang. Sehr gut aber ohne Überraschung.
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
Wunderschönes Profil mit dunkler Schokolade, Karamell, Kokosnuss und Fruchtkopot Der Alkohol ist sensationellst eingebunden, die fast 68% drücken zwar, sind aber in keinster Weise scharf/spitz. Mit ein paar Tropfen geht der Alkohol sofort zurück und macht Platz für die genannten wunderbare Aromen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Review by Pavel Spacek
I dont know if I get something else in the sample, but it taste like tasty and not so woody Enmore. Amazing, I like it!.
Review by Harald
Smell: Sweet with aromas of vanilla, chocolate, and coconut. Taste: Strong and very alcoholic in the mouth. Tastes sweet and spicy with caramel and chocolate. Finish: Long. Warms from deep inside. Sweet, spicy, and alcoholic. You can still taste milk chocolate in the finish. Remains pleasant.
Review by nguyen phan
Very sweet af first then turn out vanilla and creamy soon. On the palate, there are sweet, burnt caramel, sweet, creamy, nutty and spicy. Pepper rather than chilli i think.

An incredibly beautiful Spanish-style rum. The high ABV suits it extremely well on the nose, but in my opinion a few drops of water work very well on the palate to open it up and reveal more fruity aromas. I find the bourbon note amazing. I liked it very much! Great selection from the barrel.
