Travellers Flensburg Rum Company Selected by Jürgen Wiese BTJW 2006
Toasted coconut, milk chocolate and roasted nuts lead here, with caramel, vanilla and a clear bourbon-cask streak running underneath. It's a sweet, oily Belize pot-still at full 68.6% cask strength, and most tasters say the alcohol sits surprisingly well — though almost everyone reaches for a few drops of water to coax out the dried apricot and pineapple fruit. A couple wished for more depth and complexity.
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Coconut and chocolate
- Long warming finish

How does Travellers Flensburg Rum Company Selected by Jürgen Wiese BTJW 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 64 community reviews.
Sweet, coconut-and-chocolate Belize at cask strength Widely liked as one of the better cask-strength Belize 2006 bottlings — coconut, chocolate and caramel with well-tucked heat. The catch: some find it sweet and a touch one-dimensional, short on fruit.
Fans of sweet, nutty cask-strength rum in the Spanish/bourbon-cask style
Anyone sensitive to high ABV or wanting bold, dry, fruit-forward rum

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Geröstete, karamellisierte Pekannüsse, mit Zimt bestreut und mit Bourbon abgelöscht, dazu etwas Sandelholz, dunkle Schokolade, gesalzene Erdnüsse, der Alkohol ist für fast 69% verhältnismäßig gut eingebunden, ein paar wenige Tropfen Wasser helfen hier aber enorm um ihn etwas zu öffnen. Aromatisch könnte er etwas mehr Komplexität (und vor allem Frucht die ich hier vermisse) haben... Aber in Sachen Belize cask strength Jahrgang 2006 definitiv einer der wohl besten aufm Markt. Hat der Jürgen Wiese wirklich gut ausgesucht! 😅
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 LukaŽiga
8,2: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.Ok, but no depth. 8,3: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..
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 cigares
Un nez chaleureux, avec des cacahouètes, du chocolat, de l’abricot, de la noix de coco, des pâtisseries et un boisé un peu sec. La bouche amène les mêmes arômes, avec un côté plus sombre mais toujours savoureux. La finale est longue, équilibrée. Je trouve l’alcool un peu puissant et j’ai l’impression qu’il masque des arômes.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Eine tolle Sache. Ich hatte noch nicht viele Belize Rum. Diesen finde ich sehr gut. Er ist herrlich intensiv und der Alkohol ist top integriert. Werde gerne mehr von der Destillerie versuchen. Dennoch merke ich, dass Rum über 65% mir zu heftig einfahren. Wenns bei 2cl Degustation bleibt funktionierts noch, aber meist bleibts ja nicht bei einem Tropfen Rum am Abend😌 Ich sehe dass es vermehrt Abfüllungen gibt, die höhers ABV abfüllen, was anhand der Geschmacksintensität durchaus verständlich ist. Für mich ist der Trade-Off aber zu hoch.
Review by Jakob
Top integrierter Alkohol, dazu klassische Belize-Aromatik mit schöner Süsse. Schöner Rum, der positiv überrascht, ohne aber die Grenzen des bekannten Aromenspektrums aus Belize zu sprengen.
Review by mto75
die 68,6 % sind erstklassig eingebundenen! Eine Mischung aus Foursquare und high-end Spanier à la 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
Holznoten ohne viel Bitterkeit. Dunkle Schokolade mit Ananas auf Steroiden. Dazu kommt deutlich Vanille vom Fass.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Viel Schoko und caramel in Geschmack. Sehr leckeres Teil. Sollte man zugreifen. Alkohol ist sehr gut
Review by Chrischi78
Ahh mega komplexes scheisserchen. Der Alkohol ist mega eingebunden. Eine wunderbare Geschmacksbombe im Mund. Kokosnuss mit Holz, leichten Gewürzen und Noten von Aprikose und schöner Süsse. Ein guter Körper sagt die Frau, die mitverkostet und meint natürlich den Rum. Extrapunkte für den Spassfaktor!
Review by Wernie
Eine tolle Nase,ganz mein Geruch😀. Sehr intensiv am Gaumen,mit feiner Würze,Holz- und Röstaromen und einen langen intensiven Abgang. Toller Rum!👍🏻 Und der Alkohol top eingebunden.
Review by Jan Lu
Sehr kräftiger Belize. In der Nase klassisch fruchtig. Durch den hohen ABV ist auch ein sehr intensiver Geschmack von Trockenfrüchten vorhanden. Überzeugt auf ganzer Linie und Travellers bleibt sich treu.
Review by Thunderbird
Eine intensive Kokosnuss-Nase mit süßen Gewürzen breitet sich sofort aus! Am Gaumen verteilt er sich ölig cremig zunächst süßlich und später leicht holzig und nach gerösteten Mandeln schmeckend! Je länger er im Mund verweilt desto mehr gesellt sich eine sanfte Schärfe dazu, der Abgang ist so mittellang bitter werdend
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 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.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
"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."
